Assam Silk Products Catalogue
The Chief Minister urged the people of the state to buy at least one handloom gamosa during the coming Bohag Bihu to encourage the weavers.
At the inauguration of Golden Silk Park and Trade Centre, the Chief Minister said silk products of Assam like Muga and Eri are in great demand in the global market.
“We have been seeing the same design of muga necktie for the last 20 years. Only making new products will not help unless we constantly improve them. For this the handloom and textiles department should make a diversified design catalogue and consult top designers of the country,” he remarked.
