The Telangana State Handloom Weavers' Co-operative Society (Formation) Act, 1976
This Act regulates the consolidation of three regional weaving cooperatives into one unified entity called the Telangana State Handloom Weavers Cooperative Society. It applies to these legacy cooperative organizations, their staff, and member weavers throughout the entire state. This law matters because it pools resources and administration into a single network to strengthen the handloom industry. By transferring all assets, liabilities, existing contracts, and workers to the single new society with their original benefits and rights fully protected, the Act prevents administrative disruption while ensuring continuous, statewide government support and economic security for local weavers and their traditional heritage craft.
