    Started in 1982 to create employment for rural women, an all-women management committee now directs the association's business. Women come together in one central location to clean, sort and spin hemp fibers into rope and twine in remote villages that are susceptible to flooding during the rainy season because of their location along the banks of the Ganges River. Many families depend solely on twine income to support themselves. Bagdha Enterprise currently employs 55 artisans.
