Rupa's story
Rupa comes from a farming family of modest means in Uttar Negheri, in Golaghat district. She took up weaving to add to the family's income and learned traditional handloom weaving through SNEHPAD's training.
With support from SNEHPAD and its partner Rang De — finance for better weaving equipment, technical guidance and further training — her production and income have grown fivefold, and weaving has become a sustainable source of income.
