From 'Terror of Bengal' to 'Saree ka fall'?

Known as ‘Terror of Bengal’, the beautiful water hyacinth plant is actually spreading uncontrolled through water bodies posing a big threat to the ecosystem. But a Howrah based entrepreneur, Gaurav Anand, found a ‘fashionable’ solution to this pollution. Environmental engineering graduate Gaurav Anand developed a method to extract fibres from the stems of water hyacinth plants. Using 25% of this fibre with 75% cotton, Gaurav has created a fusion material that the famous artisans of Santipur in West Bengal then convert into beautiful sarees. This initiative solution empowers over 200 women living near the river banks through employment opportunities and also keeps the rivers clean from invasive water hyacinth. #India #Saree #fashion #westbengal

British or any colonisers only creates problems ...and we as Indians spend a lot of time solving those ... I hope in future India will look past coal as a source of energy (which was in use in India from British times) as the temperature of the subcontinent increased a lot .

[@ronabiswal5473]

Sahi kaha apne😂

[@aditidas4728]

definitely, we need to switch to solar . Govt is making huge strides in it eg Modhera village project and public too had accepted totos/e-rickshaws as a way to travell. Hopes are up for the best

[@SmartWizzard]

Sorry but no, coal fuel produces chemicals in air and pollution. Instead we need to use alternative methods

[@FG-yo9tm]

​@@SmartWizzardthat's what they are saying.

[@IndianNRIsvillagelife]

We need more and more people like Gauravji.........lots of love and respect for your hard work 👌🧡🇮🇳

[@disgursting_shattt6441]

Woww! I studied about Water Hyacinth in biology. Never thought that this crop could be so beneficial. Hats off to you sir.

[@subhamzz]

This video is so beautiful, making something out of water hyacinth is such an innovative idea . Also being from West Bengal , i feel absolutely proud to know that how much potential, craftsmanship, creativity and apparel art Shantipur has to provide to India , it has always been there .

Hello 😍

[@alphabeta3735]

Hats off to such peculiar ideas.... sustainable and awesome

[@AnandDharwar]

This approach of using water haycinth in making fine clothing can clean up the water bodies besides providing rural employment by means of hand spinning and weaving, a truly khadi effort. The waste leaves can be used for biogas and the sludge from the plant is a valuable fertilizer.

[@rashmirashmi2253]

Ek no idea,congrats to intelligent person who made dis concept to save nature,and acquatic life 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SmartWizzard]

[@sweetyyadav7685]

[@chandraravikumar]

Brilliant. This method can be used in the numerous water-hyacinth clogged water bodies right across the globe. Other uses too can be found for the fibre. Where can we buy these sarees? Is there a generic name for them?

[@rocket99911]

I have never imagined this......salute you sir ........I will share this video more to expand this fusion saree buisness....Next Target should be the Parthenium weed ( congress grass)

It would be interesting to see how they blended cotton with water haycinth fibre and spun fine yarns by hand.
The fibre is also useful for making handmade paper
