Abstract: This study explores the socio-economic impact of the handloom industry on women weavers of Baksa district, Assam. Using a structured questionnaire, primary data were collected from 150 women engaged in weaving activities. The study investigates their demographic profile, income levels, and challenges faced in the handloom sector. Findings show that weaving activity serves as the primary occupation for all respondents, most of whom belong to Schedule Tribe. The handloom sector significantly contributes to women’s economic, and social empowerment by increasing income, improving decision-making ability, and raising self-confidence. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions in raw material support, training, health outreach, and marketing linkages. The study concludes that with proper institutional support, the handloom industry holds strong potential to serve as a sustainable livelihood strategy and a powerful vehicle for women’s empowerment in rural Assam.
