The award ceremony was scheduled to be held in April in Mumbai, however due to the pandemic ceremony was held virtually recently.
Overwhelmed on being conferred with the award, Sujit said, “I am happy with the recognition. I have been trying to promote Odisha handloom through my designer work on various national and international platforms, which I also believe will help to empower our weavers. I am planning to involve more weavers.”
