        abstract = {The powerloom industry plays a pivotal role in India’s textile sector, particularly in regions like Nagari Mandal of Andhra Pradesh, where it supports the livelihoods of thousands of workers. This study examines the socio-economic conditions and workplace challenges faced by powerloom workers in Nagari Mandal through a mixed-methods approach involving surveys, interviews, and statistical analysis. The findings reveal widespread issues such as low wages, long working hours, inadequate health and safety measures, limited education, and lack of social security. Correlation and regression analyses underscore the relationship between income, job satisfaction, education, and health outcomes. The study concludes with practical suggestions aimed at improving labor welfare and enhancing the sustainability of the powerloom sector. These insights are crucial for policymakers, labor rights advocates, and industry stakeholders seeking to implement equitable labor practices in India’s informal textile economy.},
