First of all, Concern over climate change is growing, especially in areas like Assam where severe weather events like floods and droughts can have disastrous effects on people’s ability to make a living. On the other hand, handloom weaving provides rural communities with a durable and sustainable source of income. Mahura Weaves is leading the charge to promote this age-old skill as a workable remedy for issues related to climate change.
The effects of climate change on Assam: The state of Assam is especially susceptible to these effects. The floods that frequently occur in the state’s river systems can destroy crops and force residents to relocate. Finding alternate sources of income that are less reliant on the land becomes essential in such a setting.
Handloom Weaving: An Adaptable Choice to Climate Change? Handloom weaving is innately robust to climate change and sustainable. It’s the perfect activity to undertake during severe weather because it’s low resource-intensive and can be done inside the house. Furthermore, even in unpredictable times, the market for handloom goods is comparatively steady, offering a reliable source of income.
