It represents each and every person of th state, who is trying hard to build a new life and has succeeded in their efforts.However, it is beyond words to describe the impact when an entire state sets out on a journey towards resilience. Where every sector was suffering very badly due to the floods, the textile industry also incurred one of its major losses in history. The weavers had been planning to burn the `20-crore-worth handloom sarees and other apparels that were completely destroyed, as the looms and the entire stock of the village were submersed making it just a waste pile of clothes. When it is about a group of people trying to come out of a crisis, it is hailed as a group effort."Elaborating more about the wave of change that Chekutty has brought Lakshmi says that she has received many messages from people sayin that making the Chekutty dolls have become a solution for their loneliness and depression.A contented Lakshmi says, "The weavers have received enough and more funds to make their looms working. The next thought was how to make these sarees useful in one or the other way."I came to know that famous psychiatris Dr.Rising from the ashes is probably one of the strongest terms used to define the willpower of a person to bounce back from the biggest failure that he/she had to encounter. Gopi, too, having been closely associated with textile tourism, was not convinced by the fact that the fate of these the damaged stock was to burn them. Therefore, we have now decided to take it to the next level by giving it an enterprise model and have decided to provide a part of the income generated from selling Chekuttys to the underprivileged. However, majority of them was completely destroyed and after a lot of brainstorming, we thought of making dolls out of these soiled clothes."I was shocked to know the situation of Chendamangalam and for both Gopi and myself, burning the fruits of labour of such talented artisans felt like a crime, as we exactly knew the amount of dedication put into making these products.. With help pouring in from Nylon Polyester stretch ever direction, Chendamangalam is back on track and we are happy that we could be a part of it."As it was not easy for the weavers alone to make Chekuttys, the initiative was announced by Lakshmi and Gopi through their Facebook accounts. However, according to Lakshmi Menon, co-founder of the initiative, Chekutty has become the symbol of the stories of each and everyone who has been affected by the floods, directly or indirectly.
