摘要

The rich heritage of weaving amongst the traditional Bodo artisans is a source of inspiration to the entire civilization at large. Bodo women rear silkworms. They extract ‘Eri or Endi’ silk yarn, by which they weave their own attire in a home environment. The Bodos being flawless weavers marks weaving as their traditional culture. The impact of this study is to conserve and create sustainability of the weaving traditions, thus encouraging the weavers to realize their economic competence in their home and family environmental conditions. The service design pipeline approach so framed acts on the economic viability of the production of Dokhona, the Bodo traditional attire, taking into consideration the cost-aspect. This paper focuses on the feasibility of the lifestyle of the rural people concerned. Thus, the novelty of this work lies in the cost aspect and its critical analysis of weaving an Eri Dokhona through the concept of an innovative start-up design process. The Bodos are the indigenous ethnic tribe of Assam in northeastern India and known for their indigenous weaving expertise. This traditional ethnic identity needs to be sustained to uphold the Bodo heritage and culture, which in turn, would augment the Bodo weavers’ socio-economic empowerment.
