Mumbai, July 9, 2025 — In a heartwarming celebration of India’s artisanal legacy, Tisser Artisans Trust proudly partnered with KES Shroff College to mark Indian Handloom Day, weaving together purpose, sustainability, and the power of youth.
The event brought together the energy of young changemakers and the timeless artistry of Indian handlooms, highlighting how education and craft can go hand in hand to build a sustainable future.
Weaving Culture with Campus
Set against the vibrant backdrop of KES Shroff College in Mumbai, the collaboration aimed to promote Indian handlooms, foster student-led social impact, and introduce meaningful internship opportunities in the space of rural development and artisan empowerment.
Students actively engaged with Tisser’s team, exploring themes such as sustainable fashion, ethical production, and the vital role of India’s handloom sector in supporting rural livelihoods. Through interactive sessions and immersive dialogues, the college campus turned into a space of reflection, learning, and action.
A Celebration of Heritage and Hope
The highlight of the event was a stirring address by Dr. Megha Phansalkar, who shared moving insights into the mission of Tisser and the transformative potential of grassroots collaboration. Her words served as a reminder that every thread woven by an artisan carries stories of resilience, identity, and dignity.
“When young minds join hands with traditional wisdom, the future becomes beautifully handmade.”
Looking Ahead
This partnership marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration between Tisser and KES Shroff College — one rooted in community engagement, skill-building, and a shared commitment to preserve India’s craft heritage.
