- 13 April 2019. Tata Trusts and Microsoft India inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to empower handloom weaving in the eastern & north-eastern parts of the country.
- Through this collaboration, both the initiatives will leverage each other’s strengths to provide business and communication skills, design education and digital literacy to handloom weavers so that they may build a sustainable future.
- Microsoft will enable digital training through Project Sangam, a Microsoft Azure-based Learning Management System. This initiative provides necessary training and tools to other weaving communities to help realize their full potential.
- Tata Trusts’ initiative, ‘Antaran’, aims at rejuvenating ailing handloom clusters through an end-to-end programme which would nurture artisans as designers and entrepreneurs.
