The Initiative:
Aatmanirbhar Purnia is an initiative by Purnia based ecommerce company House Of Maithili. Its founding vision is to help rural women (from Banmankhi, Amour, Dhamdaha, Rupauli, Baisi, Dagarua, Barhara, Baisa, Kasba , Bhavanipur and Jalalgarh) lead better lives by ensuring that handloom weaving is a profitable, sustainable, fulfilling and dignified form of livelihood for them.
Our aim is to create a uniquely dynamic mix of undertaking training and technical innovation to rural women to produce high quality and a different (unique) weave from natural fibre (specially BANANA & JUTE) blending with cotton and silk.
We believe to empower the creators of our textiles, this talented community of young and aspiring weaver entrepreneurs, so that they can build robust businesses. What differentiates us is the belief that weavers are equal partners in the business, not mere wage workers who will weave the said design and be paid per meter wages. We believe in the agency of artisans to transcend impediments in traditional value chains to co-create, manage business and sell the final products directly to the end consumer.
