Guwahati: Handloom and textiles together with tourism can be the biggest revenue earners and a great source of generating employment opportunities in Assam, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said on Monday.
“Handloom and textiles have together  ensured women empowerment in Assam and without which no State or society can make progress”, Gogoi said speaking at the closing ceremony of the two-day carnival ‘Celebrating Assam’ late last evening.
The weavers of the State have carved out a special niche for themselves and the exquisite handloom and textile products have been the cynosure of all eyes, a government release today quoted Gogoi as stating.
“The colourful cultural mosaic of different ethnic tribes each representing a distinct culture gives the State a uniqueness of its own. Our weavers are artistic, talented and creative”, the Chief Minister said.
“What they require is proper exposure and institutes like the North East Institute of Fashion Technology can be of help with their new and fresh ideas,” he added.
Appreciating the efforts of the NEIFT for organising the event in association with the Assam Government, he hoped that in the following years the event would be staged on a larger canvas projecting the uniqueness of the State both within and outside the region.
Pointing out the State is known for its natural beauty, cultural richness and diversity, Gogoi said, “Celebrating Assam is a right platform to showcase our growth in textiles, tourism, culture, skill development and industry in the proper perspective”. (PTI)
