A report on suicide and malnutrition among weavers in Varanasi was
prepared by the People’s Vigilance Committee on Human Rights in
collaboration with ActionAid, an international anti-poverty agency. It
said that about 175 weavers fell prey to financial hardships since 2002.
The Economic Survey (2009-10) estimates that over 50 per cent weavers’
children are malnourished. There is a high prevalence of TB,
particularly multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The survey also
said that while the human development index of India is steadily
improving, weavers and their children in Varanasi continue to die either
by committing suicide or succumbing to malnutrition.
