Participants explored ways to transform discarded cocoons into attractive decorative items, turning a locally available waste material into useful and creative products.

The activity promoted the principles of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, while encouraging students to explore sustainable resource utilisation, creativity and innovative approaches to waste management.

By connecting Assam’s rich sericulture tradition with practical environmental education, the initiative demonstrated how local waste materials can be transformed into new possibilities through creativity and skill development.
