National Handloom Day is celebrated annually on August 7th in India to honor the handloom industry and its significant contribution to the country's socio-economic development. This day commemorates the launch of the Swadeshi Movement in 1905, which promoted domestic products, including handlooms, as part of India's independence struggle. It helps to raise awareness about the importance of handloom and its cultural heritage, and to promote the economic empowerment of handloom weavers.
