Through a primary survey data have been collected and a data envelopment analysis has been applied in order to compare efficiency of different institutions within handloom weaving sector. From the theoretical and empirical analyses, it has been observed that weavers working under the master weaver institution are more efficient than weavers working under the cooperative institution.
