At least five women have turned away from the traditional social system in Kishoreganj.
Some of them are working with golden fiber jute, some are working with the traditional nakshi and elokeshi pitha of the district and some are working with another product of the district, chappa shutki.
Tahmina Kabir, one of the entrepreneurs and head of the Doly’s, has been working with jute for three long years as an alternative to polythene to tackle the global climate problem.
When polythene bags are a cause of concern all over the world, this young woman is dreaming of building a polythene-free Bangladesh by working with the idea that jute will reduce environmental pollution.
