President Droupadi Murmu presents Padma Shri in the field of Trade and Industry to Smt. Shalini Devi Holkar. She has played a significant role in development of India's handloom industry and empowerment of artisans. Her efforts in promoting Maheshwari textiles and helping weavers, particularly women, have enriched India's textile heritage. Smt. Holkar has made efforts to create employment opportunities in handloom for women who are not from traditional weaving backgrounds.

Cotton, woollen, silk, linen, hemp or muslin- every kind of fiber goes into the making of the unstitched Magic, the Saree. This gorgeous raiment lends itself to every kind of intricacy of weave, design, texture and shade and can be draped in a thousand different ways. The Saree, a Beauty of its own accord, must not only live in Bharat but must be popularized across the world. Its sartorial grace is second to none and complements the Graceful Feminine. -Sg #WorldSareeDay
