  • Eco-Friendly Craft:

    Water hyacinth, an aquatic weed, is transformed into eco-friendly products by over 5,000 craftspeople in Assam’s Brahmaputra valley.

    Craftsmen remove water hyacinth from ponds between October and December. They dry the stems, flatten the fibers, and weave them into baskets, containers, vases, dining mats, coasters, and bags.

    Water hyacinth weaving provides sustainable livelihoods in rural areas while benefiting the environment.

  • Environmental Impact:

    Water hyacinth is an environmental menace as it restricts sunlight from reaching underwater vegetation and aquatic animals, disrupting ecosystems.

  • Women constitute over 85% of the artisans involved in hyacinth weaving, giving a new lease of life to water bodies.
