Under the initiative of the textiles department, the products will be procured and sold through government outlets like Jagaran and Pragjyotika in the state as well as outside, an official release said.

"The online registration is designed in a way to reach those areas also, where departmental yarn banks are not available. It is expected that the portal will bridge the gap between the weavers and the buyers," it added.

The chief minister urged the handloom and textiles department to promote Assamese gamosa, a unique handloom product, across the country.
