As a young boy, Chintakindi Mallesham would watch as his mother Lakshmi, a handloom weaver, laboured for hours, winding metres of silk yarn on to a large frame — a process called asu that is integral to the creation of the exquisite Pochampally Ikat sari

 

Now famous as the innovator of the ‘Asu machine’, which processes yarn mechanically, Mallesham, 42, was awarded the Padma Shri this Republic Day

 

his innovation has been available for 15 years now but there are at least 600 families in Nalgonda who still cannot afford the ₹25,000 machine and continue to struggle with the old labour-intensive process. He has so far supplied 850 machines, including 150 that were sold at 20 per cent of the cost because donors stepped in. His dream is to help all the weavers get one.

 

Mallesham now has dreams for his two daughters: Swetha, who is studying textile engineering in Salem, and Rupa, who he hopes will study fashion designing

Hope after the movie is released there will be more focus on them and they get enough donations for all
