Itanagar, Aug 6: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General K.T. Parnaik (Retd.), has extended warm greetings to all the weavers, artisans, and entrepreneurs of the State, who are preserving and promoting the timeless art of handloom weaving, on the special occasion of National Handloom Day. He offered special appreciation to hardworking Arunachali sisters, custodians of the beautiful legacy, whose skill and dedication continue to keep the traditional fabrics alive.
In his message, the Governor, who has always emphasized ‘Vocal for Local’, said that handloom weaving in our State is a living tradition, an intimate part of our heritage passed down lovingly from one generation of women to the next. It is deeply woven into the rhythm of our daily lives, reflecting the unique identity of each tribe through distinctive patterns, colours, and motifs. Every woven thread tells a story of resilience and womanhood. Let us make a conscious effort to preserve what our foremothers have gifted us. In doing so, we honour and strengthen our collective vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, he said.
On this National Handloom Day, I appeal to our young and educated sisters, particularly our dedicated Self-Help Groups and ‘Lakhpati Didis’, to embrace traditional weaving as a source of cultural pride and personal empowerment. When our youth take pride in wearing and creating what is their own, it uplifts an entire community, the Governor said in his message.
