Himalayan Giant Nettle (Girardiniadiversifolia (Link) Friis) is an eco-friendly
plant from wild forest which the tribal population of Anjaw namely Digaru and
Mizu Mishmi have been using as a fibre (Khujalli patta/ Chuaam/Tatsa) for
weaving different items. This study was conducted in Hayuliang, Metengliang
and Goiliang Circle of Anjaw district, Arunachal Pradesh. The data was
collected from 40 male and female respondents by using a self-structured
questionnaire of age group (20-50 years). Information were collected regarding
aboriginal knowledge of the processing and uses of fibre. The investigation
reveal that whole processes are eco-friendly and have been in practiced from
time immemorial providing multiple benefits to rural households. These plants
are widely available in local vicinity and used for food, feed, fibre as well as
source of income. Himalayan nettle plants can be a good alternate source of
natural eco-friendly and sustainable fibre for used. The fibre and the products
can be further promoted to increase market base for obtaining higher income
level.
