Unnati’s 2014 and promise of better tidings in 2015
Hare Krishna
A very Happy New Year to All!
Unnati Silks, has completed one more calendar year of its existence in the world of textiles. Started in 1980, with a vision to popularize traditional handloom sarees, Unnati has taken small steps and giant leaps to reach where it is today. Cherished milestones along the way reflect the steady progress that it has made in a goal-oriented advancement of highlighting the skills and craftsmanship of ethnic Indian weavers, who deserve their place in the sun but have still not been fully recognized for their valuable contribution to India’s heritage.
2014 has been an eventful and tumultuous period for India and the world. For Unnati, by God’s grace it has been a good period of achievements.
