dc.description.abstractSamarthpura is a medium size village located in Danta Ramgarh Tehsil of Sikar district, Rajasthan. It is about 102 kms away from the city of Jaipur. Samarthpura has a population of 872 of which 466 are males while 406 are females as per Population Census 2011. Literacy ratio in Samarthpura village is 48%. There is an Anganwadi for the Kindergarten level, a Primary school and a High school upto the XI standard. The recently elected village sarpanch is Ram Avatar, a candidate from the SC category. The primary occupations within the village are Agriculture, Carpentry and Masonry. People also take up occupations in Defence Services, Weaving, Stitching, Small Businesses and Teaching. There are only about 16 women who are into weaving within the village. There are 12 looms within the village. As per the administration records, the village code of Samarthpura is 81828. Samarthpura lacks severely in many departments. The village does not have a hospital or even a primary health center. The village does not have an ATM or a bank. Neither are there vegetable or fruit stalls nor are there markets to get provision. This report aims to record the Best Practices of weavers within Samarthpura so that they can be used to inspire new folk into taking up weaving as a profession and a means of sustenance. Samarthpura, at one one point in time had about 100 households that were into weaving. However, over the course of time, it has come down to just being 16 households. We had to try and understand the root cause as to why this was happening and what was it that was keeping these 16 weavers motivated to continue weaving.
