Speaking at the event, Dr Rupali Basu said “The main aim of this event is to preserve the heritage and also make the youngsters aware of it. They should know that they have a choice of these materials too. I am not asking them to wear it in the form of sari or traditional dresses. One can experiment and make different outfits from them too”.
