Now one can see only very rarely weavers weaving rasipuram silk handloom products. Due to the high cost of the silk the rasipuram products are becoming extinct. Previously rasipuram was full of talented weavers who used to do magic in the looms to produce the best handloom products. Now we can see very small number of weavers are actually in this profession and most of the handlooms are being converted to power looms.

The weavers of rasipuram blame the mushrooming power looms for the high cost of silk yarn. The weavers demand a responsible role by the government to protect the handloom industry by providing subsidy for yarn and a rehabilitation package for the weavers who are suffering due to high cost of yarn and low wages prevailing in the industry. The new generation is not interested in the profession due to the hard labour and long hours to bring out the finished product, even then the returns are not lucrative to make them stay in the profession. Due to the non-availability of weavers the handloom industry is vastly shifting to power looms.
