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

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.
