Moment Of Pride: 9 Visually-Challenged People In TN Stitch 'World's Largest Jutebag' In 5 Hours

India, as a country, is waking up to the harms of using plastic, and in a bid to curtail its use, single-use plastic will be banned in the country from October 2. To spread awareness about the perils of plastic, nine visually-challenged people in Tamil Nadu have stitched the world's largest jute bag. The bag is 66 feet tall and 33 feet wide, and was stitched in just five hours! 

The nine visually challenged people were accompanied by members of transgender community and students of a technical institute in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore district. Apart from spreading awareness, the people involved want to create a Guinness World Record for the largest jute bag.

Chairman of Yuva Foundation, Sashi Kala spoke to the news agency ANI and said, "Nine visually challenged people from Yuva Foundation set out to make a Guinness World Record by sewing a 66-feet high and 33-feet wide jute bag without a handle. The jute bag was stitched to sensitise the people to stop using harmful plastic bags and switch to eco-friendly alternatives."

Further, Shashi Kala said, "We have to launch a war against the plastic. This is the reason why our people have stitched a jute bag."

Talking about the people involved she added, "Through the attempt, we also want to prove it to the society that differently-abled people have their own ability and it is our responsibility to give them confidence and encouragement."
