Such a fantastic story! It’s about India, about betterment of artisans, about women empowerment AND it’s about taking an environmental pest and making it useful!
We are so blessed to have such people in our country who work tirelessly to improve their life quality. Pray their efforts get attention throughout India and abroad. 🙏🤗🤗🙏
I find these stories really inspiring...helping woemn in India become more independent is really important..today. That the plant needs to be eradicated is certainly right...but now that it is there helping people , I 'd say keep it a little longer (or have water basins dedicated to this plant onlyà and kill the rest. That you can make organic sarees is amazing...and most probable a future product !
I never imagined that basic biology and geography lessons in grade 8 could actually be this profound in terms of economics of a place! It also make me aware of why there is tremendous security issue when bring anything bio into the country. I also never imagined such a thriving plant is not a native and could be this hazardous to the general ecology of a place. It is something we cannot sigh by saying "survival of the fittest". Famines caused in any particular state has left ng lasting ripples over the entire country and a generation of people. Great work of the research team and I hope more children will actually have visits to these works to connect their studies with the society.
Wonderful initiative by human for a human and not AI and that's appreciable .Handloom culture is part of indian tradition let them grow thereby stopping migration .HOPE for Happy Bharat
This was very informative! Thrilled to know that this initiative is transforming the lives of people. The risks should also be factored in so that they are minimal.
Good initiative. But too slow to eradicate the actual problem. The research must be done to use them as pallet to replace wood burning. The region is also known for jute. It may also mix with jute to produce to replace single use plastic bags.
Invasive plants can be seen as a problem, but it can also be a blessing to some. I would love if you had left a link to an internet store where to buy those beautiful handcrafted saris. Beautiful story, thank you. Love India
I was looking if something had this in mind... thank you for this comment. How much of a misinformation this is regarding the Bengal famine! Not fair ... it was the British not some plant that caused the famine ...
The Calcutta based Marwaris were in cahoots with the British (and Churchill) to send the cultivated rice as stockpiles to Europe. They were equally, if not more responsible for the Bengal famine. When Indians talk about the Bengal famine, they blame the British but forget their bootlicking Marwari minions who shipped all the grains from Borobajar and Kolkata Port.
Someone needs to use this industry to export anything and everything to foreign countries and replace fast fashion brands, textile was introduced by ancient india and we havw a lot of potential. Why only sarees? Anything can be made out of handloom products which is trendy too

Hope this kind of innovation continues
Good to know such kind eco friendly innovations in our bengal.
A very informative video. Initiative taken by CIS serves many purposes positively. Thanks a lot.
These weavers are doing a commendable job.
Why just sarees? Why not create fabric yarns for other types of clothing as well?

wonderful storytelling. a delight to watch
Very good work 🙏

Use water hycinth to produce bioethanol and biogas . Remains can be used for fertiliser
Invasive plants can be seen as a problem, but it can also be a blessing to some.
I would love if you had left a link to an internet store where to buy those beautiful handcrafted saris.
Beautiful story, thank you. Love India
Wonderful 👏
Are these sold online?
You guys should have posted some info about how to buy these.
❤ amazing
Amazing story!
Amazing efforts!
You show exceptional businesses but don't give out their social media addresses. Why is that?
Wonderful video. Kiskindha Trust also uses water hycinth and banana fibres to make wonderful items.
Curtains, duvets - pillows!
great work
Where can we shop for these pretty saree?
Interesting..
Beautiful. How do we buy ?
Inspiring
I'd like to remind "Dr. Profusely" that Winston Churchill engineered the Bengal Famine not the poor water hyacinth.
I was looking if something had this in mind... thank you for this comment. How much of a misinformation this is regarding the Bengal famine! Not fair ... it was the British not some plant that caused the famine ...
@@cynshim673 Churchill was respnsible for the famine but the water hyacinth made things more worse tbh.

@@souvikdeb2523 Wooo.. That's a big time accusation.
@@praguhbisthat's a fact
Where can I buy these sarees?
Haycinth only grows in polluted stagnant water . Untreated sewage is the main problem.
How to purchase from them hatts off to these people
Amazing
Unbelievable 🙏🙏🙏🙏 sustainable clothing is future to save our mother earth from exploitation
6:06 eco friendly packing material
What about jute? Can it be combined with the hyacinth fibre?
not comfortable as clothes imho
Plz tell Where to buy these sarees....
Can these be bought online
How to buy?
Why is it not used as animal fodder? If it is a prolific growing plant then it is excellent in carbon sequestration also
Please share the shop adress of Sree Ranjit Kumar Das
You could make baskets, screens, mats, sunbrellas, compost - can cows eat it? What eats water hyacinths? Some fish?

hard worker..may Lord Krishna bless them richly ..from Suriname
Pls give them equal pay.
Figures! It’s the British who seems to have introduced to India.
Meanwhile state coffers are being used to get rid of this menace from irrigation canals, profiting govt. contractors.
Is this from Pakistan
Now we see a contrast or twist in the saga of saree. I would prefer buying clothes only if needed. Consumerism is killing our culture and resources.
Don’t forget Winston Churchill’s hand in the Bengal famine! 😡
AGAIN BRITISHERS 😂😂
😂😂😂
