Turning Weeds into Wonders: Women in Assam Pioneer Eco-Friendly Products from Water Hyacinth




Under the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban, a group of women from Assam’s Morigaon district and two young entrepreneurs from Deepor Beel are transforming the invasive water hyacinth plant into eco-friendly products. Water Hyacinth features attractive purple flowers but has become a problematic weed.


These women earn sustainable incomes by crafting handicrafts, while the entrepreneurs created a venture called Kumbhi Kagaz, producing biodegradable paper. These initiatives provide green jobs, support local communities, and contribute to environmental sustainability, turning a harmful weed into valuable products.
