Recent article of Purnima Sharma published in Times of India is worth reading.  She has nicely

brought out how with the inputs of Designers, Brands and Export Houses, the Chanderi Weavers have progressed towards modern thinking and better way of living.  Hats off to designers like Garg, Rohit Bal, Manish Malhotra who have brought in a fresh air into the gullible lives of Chanderi Weavers.  Many a weavers houses now have TVs, Refrigerators, iPads and mobiles.  Weavers are now able to afford better education to their children.
