1. The Composition of Zonal Level Selection Committee as per the guidelines is enclosed
herewith. As per the procedure, the Zonal Level Selection Committee will make the
short-listing of entries and the selection should be completed within the stipulated date
i.e. by 30th June, 2015
2. Before conducting Zonal Level meetings, a preliminary meeting should be convened to
analyze the quality of the items. NGOs, Voluntary Organisations and other field offices
should be closely associated to procure items of excellence.
3. The offices namely WSCs, DHTs who are the first recipients of the applications and
entries from the artisans contesting for the award, shall be responsible for thorough
scrutiny of all documents submitted by the contestants for the award and will also
exercise due diligence to physically verify the bonafides of the applicants forwarded to
Zonal Directors.
4. The particulars of the applicants who are existing State Awardees or National Merit
Certificate holders or who belong to the family of existing awardees need to be
thoroughly checked, particularly for verifying whether the applicant possesses the
required craft skill needed for producing the item he/she has submitted for award. This
verification process must be undertaken and completed well before the convening of the
meetings of the respective Zonal level Selection Committees.
5. The respective Zonal Level Selection Committees shall undertake and complete the short
listing process latest by 30th June, 2015.
6. Immediately after the conclusion of short listing process by the Zonal level Selection
Committees, the Convener of these Committees namely the Zonal Director of the Office
of DC(Handlooms) shall undertake another verification process in respect of only those
applications/entries of the artisans which have been shortlisted by the respective Zonal
level Committee.
7. In the event any discrepancy comes to notice or dispute arises during this verification
process, the same shall be brought to the notice of the Zonal level Committee for
appropriate decision in the matter/resolution of the dispute.
8. It has also been decided that certain number of Awards should be set apart for
languishing crafts and for innovative techniques. State/Central Corporations/Voluntary
organizations working in the field should be requested to sponsor entries.
9. In the composition of the Zonal Level Committees meant for the Handlooms, Officer in
charge of concerned WSCs need not be included. Their assistance in the mobilizing
suitable entries through publicity may be obtained.
10. It has also been decided that wherever handloom Corporations, Central Cottage Industries
Corporations and Crafts Councils have their offices, their respective members may
invariably be included in the Zonal Level Selection Committees. There should be at least
Senior design expert in the Committee. The composition of Zonal Level Committee may
be forwarded to this office.
11. It is emphasized that sincere efforts would be made to locate outstanding weavers
practicing weaving techniques, which may not have been recognized so far. As you are
aware, the first criterion for selection is the weaver’s total contribution to the enrichment
of the craft and his background of traditional craft. While forwarding the entries,
attempts should be made to bring before the Zonal Level Selection Committees,
documentation of the total contribution of the weavers in a manner that will make the
actual sample submitted, illustrative of the weaver’s skill. The entries having high
standard of quality and workmanship should only be recommended to the Hqrs. Level
Selection Committee.
12. With a view to give wide publicity, it should be ensured that adequate projection is made
through the State Agencies viz. State Handloom Department/State Handloom
Corporations, so that information about the scheme reaches even the remotest interiors of
the district. (Different implementing partners may also be involved)
13. As conveners of the Zonal Level Selection Committee, the Zonal Directors should send,
in respect of the shortlisted entries, all details including original documents furnished by
the applicant duly verified and complete in all respects specifically indicating that the
Conveners of the respective Committees have conducted the second stage verification
process for the entries being recommended. These entries along with Minutes of the
Selection Committee Meetings indicating that entries being recommended have been
verified by the respective Conveners of the Committee, should be sent to Development
Commissioner (Handlooms) within the stipulated period. It may be kept in mind that the
number of entries short-listed by the Zonal Level Committee should not exceed 10 Nos.
in respect of each State/UT.
14. It may also be mentioned that this being a time bound programme, immediate efforts
should be made for wide publicity for entries.
15. It is also suggested that an Affidavit (enclosed) may be taken as per proforma from
concerned weaver stating that he/she is submitting entry on his/her own risk and in case
of any damage, etc. during transportation and unforeseen event, the Central Government
will not be liable to pay any compensation.
A copy of guidelines & application form are enclosed for compliance. These issues with
the approval of Development Commissioner (Handlooms).
