Textile industry has played a vital role in the economic development of the country. Apart from providing the basic necessity of life, it has contributed to the industrial output and employment generation. Resources are important for the survival of any industry and the same stands true with textile industry. With discovery of electricity the looms run by electric power called Powerlooms became a part of Indian Textile. The Powerloom technology focuses on mass production rather than giving importance to creativity, art and customization. It is one such sector which contributes to highest cloth production among various other sectors of Textile industries. However, this decentralized industry has faced crisis situation in various parts of the country and Telangana was not let out, Rajann Sircilla District stands testimony of the crisis. The vulnerabilities of crisis were due to weak inappropriate policies and lack of resources. The study concludes that the stakeholders of the industry should recognise the hard work of weavers and remunerate them accordingly. The Government should strengthen the infrastructure by providing the resources and continuity of work needs to be maintained by providing the orders from public and private sectors. The Government took rehabilitation measures but a long way to go for the development of weavers.
