Guwahati, June 28 (NKTV): Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma reviewed the activities and schemes being implemented by the Handloom & Textiles and Sericulture Department with officials of the department at the conference room of his office at Janata Bhawan today.
While reviewing the ongoing schemes and proposed initiatives, the Chief Minister said that women of the state have core competency in weaving and for strengthening the handloom & textiles sector, the department must adopt a pragmatic approach. He directed to conduct an intense brainstorming for drafting a plan to transform the department into a potent platform for the weavers.

He also instructed the department to take measures for upgrading skills of the wavers.
