Since pot making has become not much a profit making profession, Rao said that the Telangana government has decided to give loans to the Kummari community with an objective to encourage caste based professions. As the government had banned the use of plastic, Rao said that the use of pots is slowly going up. The Minister has said that the machines will restrict the use workforce besides improving the efficiency.
