Assam's Handloom Heritage Shines at India Energy Week 2026

At the India Energy Week 2026 in Goa, women artisans from Assam are showcasing their beautiful handwoven products.

These products, made from traditional silks like muga and eri, include things like scarves, bags, and sarees.

The event is a big deal because it brings together important people from around the world to talk about energy and sustainability.

The women artisans are part of a special program called 'Threads of Assam – Woven by Baidews,' which has helped them learn new skills and sell their products.

This program is supported by Cairn Oil & Gas, which believes in helping communities and empowering women.

By selling their handwoven items, these women are not only preserving their cultural heritage but also becoming financially independent.
