Women play an important role in different home based cottage industry and other traditional art and crafts. Hand loom weaving is household industry where all the members of family participate. The women handloom workers and their specific role in fragmented manner do not reveal a clear cut picture of women's participation and time use pattern in various handloom related activities. Thus in the present study an attempt has been made to asses the work profile of women handloom workers in terms of their participation in handloom weaving i.e. pre-weaving, weaving and post loom weaving. The present study was conducted in Rajasthan state. Rajasthan state is divided into six divisions, one district from each division was selected on the basis of concentration of handloom weaving in the area, total six districts was selected. Thirty handloom weaving units were selected, from each unit one women respondent was purposively selected and interviewed for the purpose of data collection. The results of the study reveals that very high magnitude of women's participation was found in prim winding, creel winding, loosening and rewinding , checking and mending and storage. Spinning of yarn was carried out by few units it was solely performed by the women. Preparing warp reed filling, sizing of the yarn, setting of the loom were the activity where women were assisted by their counter parts. Women's participation was found very low in purchasing and selling activity. Further no significant difference was found in the time devotion pattern by men and women but significant difference was found on the basis of type of activity. On the basis of the study it can be concluded that women play significant role in handloom weaving due to their sincerity hard work and effective time management practices, what ever time the women gets after household task was consumed in handloom weaving to raise the quality of life of the family.Keywords

A study on occupational stress of 80 female boutique workers was conducted in Udaipur district during 2012-13. Occupational stress was assessed by occupational stress scale developed by House et al. (1979). The results revealed that cutting, stitching, surface embellishment, closure attachment, ironing and finishing related works were performed by female workers. Majority of respondents' encountered moderate to high occupational stress and work load stress was counted highly followed by job vs. non-job category. Near half of respondents earned less than Rs. 5000 per month and 39 per cent were illiterate and 44 per cent worked for 8-10 hours per day. Some suggestive measures were also discussed to uplift the condition of female workers including restructuring ergonomically approved working area. Psychological, physical, social and economic security should be provided to workers in order to empowering their skills and maximize their potential through networking with supporting agencies.Keywords

Yarn spinning is a process of making or converting fibre materials into yarns for making textile fabric or products. In spinning mills, the fibres pass through various processes to convert them into yarn. Every spinning mill has different sections like opening, where the bails are opened. After that, fibres are fed to machines which pass through carding, combining machine finally twisting is done to convert into yarn. Every department has different number of workers to carry or supervise the work. All these processes lead to fibre dust and its quantum vary from section to section. Opening section has maximum fibre dust and it is minimum in spinning section. The workers engaged in spinning mills encounter different occupational health problems and for identification of their health problems, a questionnaire was developed. Thirty respondents were interviewed and observation of work environment was made. The results revealed that spinning mill workers were facing the problems related to coughing and sneezing, eye irritation, breathlessness due to presence of dust in the work environment. Sweating was due to work pressure. Workers were taking no precautionary measures to avoid the inhale the fibre dust. This being the predisposing factor causing health problem. Hence, the need arises for the use of appropriate protective clothing for preventive them to exposed to fibre dust.Keywords

Home science is a unique discipline with a blend of science and art which gives a variety of skills to the youths such as cooking, catering, processing, stitching, decoration, boutique, fashion designing, day care and health care. It also provides social and cultural values with the communication and human research development. The present study mainly focused on an overview, emerging employment opportunities and major institution of home science education in the country. In India, home science education is in its emerging stage of development, so home science graduates and post graduates have ample employment opportunities not in private sector but also in co-operative, government and semi government sector along with entrepreneurship opportunities. Home science professionals have a lot of employment opportunities in private sector (cooking, fashion designer, housekeeping, dietitians), NGOs (social welfare officer, food analysts, research officer, fashion designer) government sector (scientists, professors, research assistant) and self-employment sector (boutique, cloths designing, grooming centre, hobby centre, child care, catering and health care). Thus, home science is an emerging academic discipline which has ample opportunities of employment and entrepreneurship development in academic as well as in corporate sector.Keywords

Antibacterial textile production has become increasingly prominent for hygienic and medical applications. Therefore, to reduce the growth of bacteria various antibacterial compounds have been used for all types of textiles. In the current study, an eco friendly natural antibacterial extract has been prepared from Pongamia pinnata plant leaves for textile finishing application. After knowing the phytochemical properties, extracts were selected and were tested on cotton fabric by the method of direct application. Pongamia pinnata leaves extract treated samples showed better antibacterial and antifungal properties. Therefore, Pongamia pinnata tree leaves could be a potential source of active antimicrobial agents.Keywords

Cotton is a cellulosic fibre obtained from plants and wool is also fibre which obtained from animal hair. A diversified product refers to the produce the large variety of manufactured products from raw material such as waste cotton rags and wool fibres. Cotton and wool waste is worthless and also pollutes the environment. Waste cotton rags and wool fibres can use in developing diversified products. The diversified products made by waste cotton and wool are decorative and functional in nature. Decorative products include photo frame, greeting cards, flower pots, lamp lighting, flowers, mask, wall hanging, while functional articles includes book holder, guest book, tea coaster, pen holder etc.present study mainly focused on the pre consumer waste, post-consumer waste, waste clothes management, how to develop the different diversified products by using waste cotton and wool pieces, benefits of these products to consumers and environment.The present study is more relevant and beneficial because now-a-days cotton industry discharges different types of waste across the state and country which can be manage by developing decorative and functional diversified products in econ friendly manner. Present study suggests an innovative way of waste clothes management which helps in converting the waste material into different useful and decorative products using waste cotton rags and wool fibres.Keywords

Natural dyes and natural thickening agents appear to be ideal choice. This is because natural dyes and thickening agents have better biodegradability and higher compatibility with environment. The block and screen printed silk and cotton fabric using indigo dye with starch extracted from Mango kernel seed has been carried out. To explore the acceptability of Eco friendly printed products, for this purpose Block and screen printed products like stole, table cover, bed sheet, scarf, duppatta, Saree border, necktie, magazine holder and letter holder were hand printed using natural starch obtained by Mango kernel and natural dye concentrate. Opinion of thirty respondents was obtained. Results revealed that all the printed products were liked by all the respondents. All the respondents were willing to purchase the products.Keywords

The art of dyeing with natural dyes is as old as our civilization. Dyed textile remnants found during archaeological excavations at different places all over the world provide evidence to the practice of dyeing in ancient civilizations. Dyes derived from natural materials such as plant leaves, ischolar_mains, bark, insect secretions, and minerals were the only dyes available to mankind for the coloring of textiles until the discovery of the first synthetic dye in 1856. Textiles colored with natural dyes are preferred by environmentally conscious consumers and today there is a niche market for such textiles. But the total share of natural dyes in the textile sector is very less due to certain issues involved in the production and application of these dyes. Natural dyes are sustainable as they are renewable and biodegradable but they cannot fulfill the huge demand from the textile sector.Keywords

The most commonly used thickeners for printing cotton fabric is synthetic, but in view of eco friendly nature, partly substituting tamarind kernel powder represents an acceptable alternative. Therefore, an attempt was made to screen print cotton fabric with tamarind kernel powder with different concentration, evaluate the visual appearance of printed fabric for various parameters. Results revealed that 10 per cent concentration of thickening agent showed best results in terms of colour fastness to washing, perspiration and light and also possessed good physical characteristics. So this concentration of thickening agent was finally selected for the screen printing.Keywords

Management of discarded fabric has become one of the problems we are facing today. The huge amount of discarded fabric generated mostly by textile mills, manufacturing units, boutiques, tailor shops and household sectors. Considerable amount of discarded fabric is dumped in open areas and incinerated after removing small percentage for recycling and reuse. This accumulation of discarded fabric from all over the country causes certain serious environmental problems and health hazards. 20 tailor shops / boutiques were selected and questionnaire was designed to find out and collect type of discarded fabric available. Discarded biodegradable fabrics i.e. cotton and silk, available in high amount at tailor shops / boutiques and used for development of bio-fertilizer.Keywords

Health is the normal and healthy state of body. Health refers to a healthy state of mind and body physically fit to have no disorder, illness or disease. Good personal hygiene is important for both health and social reasons. Personal hygiene is how we care for our body. In bathing, towels play a very important role. Towels are incredibly useful home textiles, whether they used for guest, bath, hand, or beach, all towels share one thing in common: they need to absorb moisture and dry quickly. As they used, they get dirty easily and then smells stingy. The longer towels stay damp, the longer the yeasts, bacteria, molds and viruses remain alive and stay active. Dirty towels can carry a huge variety of microbes, and they’ve even been linked to spreading infectious disease. The present study was conducted to get the data of towel hygiene. For this purpose hundred respondents were selected. Structured interview schedule was used for data collection. Results revealed that majority of respondents were following unhealthy practicesKeywords
