The Meghalaya tableau based on ’50 years of Statehood & its tribute to women-led cooperative societies and SHGs’ have been adjudged with the 3rd position for its commendable theme displayed during the Republic Day Parade 2022.
It showcased the contribution of bamboo and cane handicrafts usually done by the women-led cooperative societies and Self-Help Groups (SHGs), a factor which is immensely associated with the scalability of Meghalaya’s economy.
The front part of this tableau depicted a woman weaving a bamboo basket, while several bamboo and cane products belonging from the northeastern state were put-on display. Besides, it also depicted the significance of traditional farming and processing of Lakadong turmeric, which is considered as one of the finest variety of turmeric grown along the foothills of the West Jaintia Hills.
