Yes, that's exactly what they meant. And the report may have been advertised as being about "the last place in the world etc., etc., " but the report includes information on the competition the Indians get from the Chinese, so I don't think that somewhat overblown claim was made by the reporter herself.
I was particularly intrigued to hear about the living and working conditions, as they mirror the working conditions that we read about for the European lacemakers of the 19th century.
