DEEPTI ( Development of Dhemaji Through Entrepreneurship And E-Commerce Promoting Technological Intervention), an initiative by District Administration Dhemaji in collaboration with National Urban Livelihood Mission, Dhemaji seeks to leverage the advantages which giant leaps in technology and staggering proliferation of internet has ushered in with the purpose of providing a viable virtual platform for the local artisans, entrepreneurs , SHGs, small and independent businesses of Dhemaji district. The need for this platform has been acutely felt due to the erosion of livelihood and opportunities of business which the outbreak of corona viruse pandemic has caused. With the launch of this initiative , it is expected that the local economy of Dhemaji will receive a  much needed momentum by ensuring market for the local products and services and at the same time providing meaningful job opportunities to the skilled labor force of the district. I congratulate team DEEPTI  for their endeavor and urge the people of Dhemaji to embrace DEEPTI and be a part of this team in ensuring the sustainability of this project.

Mekhela Chadar (traditionally prounced as Sador) is Assam's traditional attire. With 18 different major tribes the design, names and way wearing the attire changes. This attire specifically belongs to the Hajong Tribe. The striped Mekhela is known as Pathin. Traditionally, Pathin is wraped from the bust till the calf of the leg and the upper part is covered by a Parsa or Argon. Most of the tribal attire are worn in this way and the most important part is that these are all hand woven and they themself weave it in their home. Those who do not belong to any particular tribe wear all these beautiful attire as Mekhela Chadar. Ok, now there is another thing that I should not leave is that the stripes too has got their names. The red stripes are called as #kan and the thick borders are called #chapa . I bought this pair from a store in Golaghat, Assam. But I do not have the traditional upper part #parsa or #argon which is traditionally taken as a shawl. I hope to get that too very soon. I have paired them with silver Afghan ornaments to match their kind of ornaments which are basically of silver metal. 😊 . .
