Arunachal Is Reviving Its 1000-YO Art of Making Paper That Doesn’t Harm Trees

In February 2020, Maling Gombu, a Tawang-based social worker and lawyer, wrote to the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) a statutory body dedicated to the development of village industries, about the potential of a 1,000-year-old paper-making craft of the Monpa tribe in Arunachal Pradesh that was languishing.

Called ‘Mon Shugu’, this fine-textured handmade paper is an integral part of Monpa history.
