Assistant commissioner of handloom and textile industries of Varanasi Zone, Arun Kumar Kuril, said: “The grants will be made available under Chief Minister’s Weaver Solar Energy Scheme. Under it, weavers will be given grants to set up solar power plants to run their units while women weavers will be given special benefits.”
