An inquiry into the indigenous weavers of India and Sri Lanka: During 1995, A UNESCO Chair in the field of Cultural Development was set up at the IGNCA.  In the recent years peoples and nations have become increasingly concerned with the development of process, as is manifest in cultures.  Drawing from the field observation of the indigenous weavers of India and Sri Lanka, the study aims at describing how cultural heritage is used as a tool for development, discussing what theories of culture and development emerge from the oral heritage and calling attention to planners and decision makers in government for action.
