India is a land of rich traditions, culture, and craftsmanship. Among its many treasures, handloom weaving<\/strong> holds a special place. To honor this art form and the weavers who keep it alive, National Handloom Day<\/strong> is celebrated every year on 7th August<\/strong>. The celebration was first launched in 2015 by the Government of India to promote handloom products and to highlight the contribution of weavers to the nation\u2019s socio-economic development.<\/p>\n At Homerton Grammar School, Faridabad<\/strong>, we believe that education is not limited to books but also includes an understanding of culture, heritage, and sustainable living. That is why National Handloom Day 2021<\/strong> was observed with enthusiasm and a spirit of appreciation for India\u2019s artisans.<\/p>\n Handloom is not just a fabric\u2014it is a symbol of India\u2019s self-reliance, diversity, and creativity.
