A. listing data B. analyzing causes C. making parisons D. collecting opinions C Chinakindi Mallesham, a poor weaver（織布工） from a small village in Andhra Pradesh, India, has turned out to be a rescurer for hundreds of weavers. Weavers making the traditional silk saris（印度婦女用以裹身的莎麗服） used to go through a painstaking process, moving their hands thousands of times in a day while weaving saris. Thanks to Mallesham‘s invention, hundreds of weavers in Andhra Pradesh now spend less time making a variety of designs. Mallesham started working as a weaver when he was just 12 years old. After his seventh standard, he had to leave school to spend more time in working. However, he studied at night and passed the tenth standard. ―It was sad to see my mother work so hard to weave saris. Despite her shoulder and joint aches, she used to spend hours weaving saris to earn some money to take care of the family,‖ says Mallesham. Besides his mother, there were hundreds of other women who had health problems. So Mallesham constantly thought about a device to help them escape this tedious work. ―It was very difficult to find time to carry on with my experiments. My father and other members of the family thought I was lazy and did not want to work. They scolded me for wasting time. So it took me seven years before I could introduce the first Laxmi Asu machine. While earlier it took 5 hours to do the Asu (handing winding process) for one sari, it just takes one and a half hours to do the same work now,‖ says Mallesham. ―There are 30,000 women weavers in Andhra Pradesh who continue to do the weaving process by hand as they cannot afford to buy the Laxmi Asu machine. They are looking for help as the local government has failed to extend any kind of support. We look forward to people who can help those women buy the Laxmi Asu machine,‖ says the chairman of Honey Bee Network, which provides a voice for creative farmers, artisans and grass roots innovators. 63.
