NATIONAL HANDLOOM DAY- Eicher School Celebrates Indian Handlooms

Faridabad Hindustan ab tak/Dinesh Bhardwaj : Eicher School Faridabad has always been an enthusiastic promoter of Indian cultural heritage. Our handlooms are symbols of our nation’s identity, culture and inclusive development. To promote and showcase the intricate and exquisite weaves of India, August 7 was marked as National Handloom Day in our school.
India has over 120 distinct weaves. Each state has a unique flavour. But with the market flooded with international brands selling stylish clothes, the present generation is drifting away from traditional fabrics and clothes. To create awareness amongst its students, we at Eicher initiated classroom discussions on the various aspects of Indian handloom in order to acquaint our students with the different handloom weaves of India. It also created awareness about the fact that Indian textiles must be adopted into contemporary wear because of their rich vibrancy and intricate designs. The faculty members were dressed in ethnic handloom attire from different parts of India and it was a great way to showcase how our traditional weaves are no less than any multi-national brand.
The celebration of this day was also a step towards supporting the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ ideologies so widely talked by our honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. We are truly proud of our artisans and craftsmen who weave such vibrant drapes for us.
