The powerloom industry mainly depends on weavers but they are always facing problems on finance, electricity, health etc. Also they do not get any support from the Government. This results in low productivity and their economic conditions is very pathetic. Present study is concerned with only the problems of workers engaged in small-scale powerloom sector of Vellore District. The study is based on primary data collected from 50 weavers from Kangeyanellur area of Vellore District. The study reveals that the weavers have problems on finance and health. This results in dwindling wages and poverty. Hence there is an urgent need of government support, electricity supply at low cost, and proper wage system to improve the conditions of the powerloom weavers.
