Ethnic Community Development Organization (ECDO) is a nonprofit voluntary development organization working for the development of different indigenous communities in Sylhet region. MOIRANG is one of the initiatives taken by this (ECDO) organization with the aim of economic empowerment for Manipuri women through promoting their traditional handloom. Once upon a time the product from Manipuri handlo
om was very popular to all. But since last more then two decades this sector is passing its very worse time. Because due to high demand and popularity of Manipuri handloom products in the market, at present some fake Manipuri products are marketing by some dishonest businessman in the name of Manipuri hand loom products. Thus the real customers of Manipuri hand loom products are cheated by a group of these businessmen. On the other hand the customers are also become dissatisfied with those products. As a result most of the buyers and consumers of Manipuri hand loom products become misunderstood about the quality of Manipuri hand loom products. And finally this traditional sector become under threat. Considering this reality ECDO takes the initiative for preservation and promoting this invaluable traditional heritage of Manipuri peoples with support from Oxfam Bangladesh. All the products which are available in our MOIRANG outlet are very exclusive. ECDO believes through promoting this sectors it is possible to ensure economic empowerment of Manipuri women’s in the society.
