Celebrating Indian Wool Science, Innovation & Regenerative Futures

It’s inspiring to see pioneering research like this from ICAR - CSWRI, led by Senior Scientist Dr. Vinod Kadam, demonstrating how Indian coarse wool - often dismissed and underutilized - holds immense potential for climate-positive, biodegradable, and circular-economy solutions.

Their latest publication on "Eco-friendly coarse wool sapling bags: A sustainable and biodegradable alternative to plastic bags for fruit and vegetable seedlings" a remarkable validation of what we have always believed at

✔ Indian sheep wool is not a waste material - it is a regenerative resource
✔ Traditional fibres can solve modern environmental problems
✔ Craft, science, and sustainability can work hand-in-hand
✔ Rural economies can be strengthened through climate solutions

As we work to revive the traditional Deccan sheep wool Ghongadi and reposition it as a medical, wellness, and regenerative textile, such scientific breakthroughs reinforce the global relevance of Indian wool.

We are grateful to partner with institutions like ICAR - CSWRI as part of our mission to:
🌱 Commercialise wool-based innovations
🌱 Generate dignified livelihoods for artisan families
🌱 Build India’s future in regenerative, bio-based textiles
🌱 Bring indigenous knowledge into mainstream sustainability discourse

Congratulations to Dr. Vinod Kadam and the entire team for this important contribution to the world of sustainable materials, circular agriculture, and Indian wool technology.

Your work fuels our motivation and strengthens our collective effort toward a greener future.

If you Google ‘How to Sleep Better,’ you’ll find a ton of advice like: 👩‍💻

🌟Stick to a Sleep Schedule
🌟Be mindful about what you eat and drink
🌟Cut down on blue light
🌟Get some exercise

While these points are solid

There’s just one problem…

It’s tough to turn our entire routine upside down and make all these changes overnight, right? 🤔

That’s why we believe in starting small. 💥

How about taking the first step by adding a Ghongadi to your home essentials?

Annnd, we’ll be real with you—this change won’t work overnight. But give it 6 weeks, and you’ll start to see your sleep health improve! 😴

Are you still uncertain about purchasing a Ghongadi? We totally get it. 🤷‍♂️

Many of our customers too were skeptical, but now they can’t live without it. 🫣

We’ve had customers who have purachsed Ghongadi from us for over 8+ years, and we have unfiltered feedback from them. 📝

Want to hear what they have to say? Just send us a DM with the word “Ghongadi,” and we’ll be happy to share their stories with you! 📩

माननीय उपमुख्यमंत्री अजित दादा पवार आणि माननीय आमदार रोहित दादा पवार यांनी सत्कार समारंभासाठी शाल ऐवजी कारागिरांन्नी बनवलेल्या घोंगडीला पसंती दिली. खर तर हि कल्पना रोहित दादांची. महिला सक्षमीकरण आणि महिला उद्योजकतेच्या संदर्भात सर्वसमावेशक आणि कंन्स्ट्रक्टिव कार्याचा वारसा हा रोहित दादांना त्यांच्या आई, माननीय सुनंदाताई पवार यांच्याकडून आला आहे. त्यांनी 3 लाखापेक्षा जास्त महिला आणि 3500 बचत गटांना आर्थिकदृष्ट्या स्वावलंबी बनवून आर्थिक स्वातंत्र्याच बीज रोवलं. तसेच ग्रामीण भागातल्या मासिक पाळीसारख्या गंभीर प्रश्नांवर खूप मोठ काम चालू आहे.

आजच्या समारंभात घोंगडी डॉट कॉम, घोंगडी कारागीर आणि त्याच्या संबधित अनेक प्रश्नांवर रोहित दादांसोबत चर्चा झाली. येणार्‍या काही वर्षात युवक उद्योजकतेविषयी जागरूकता निर्माण करण्याबद्दलही थोडक्यात चर्चा झाली. 'निरज, तुमचा उपक्रम छान आहे. तुम्ही निवांत वेळेत नक्की भेटायला या' अस माननीय उपमुख्यमंत्री अजित दादा पवार यांनी आवर्जून सांगितले.

मदरक्विल्ट्स आणि घोंगडी डॉट कॉम हा एक सामाजिक उपक्रम आहे ज्याच्याद्वारे हातावर पोट असलेल्या 9 राज्यातील 360 पेक्षा जास्त गोधडी आणि घोंगडीच्या ग्रामीण कलाकारांना 19 देशात बाजारपेठ मिळवून देऊन आपली पारंपरिक कला जपण्याचा प्रयत्न एका मराठी इंजिनिअरकडून केला जात आहे. निरजला अमेरिकास्थित सामाजिक संस्थेचा ग्लोबल चेंजमेकर, लोकसत्तेचा तरूण तेजांकित, देशपांडे फाऊंडेशन, हुबळी चा इन्स्पायरिंग लीडर सारखे विशेष सन्माननीय पुरस्कार प्राप्त झाले आहेत.
