In 2015, the United Nations set 17 Sustainable Goals to transform our world in the next 15 years. It laid a roadmap on how to transform our planet where everyone can live in peace, prosperity, and with dignity. Initially the term sustainability was mostly used as an environmental aspect, but today, all its dimensions are taken into account. It is time to integrate the sustainable development concept with the handloom sector a very broad sector in which sustainable development is very effective. The handloom sector embodies the vision of Sustainable Development Goals as it involves minimal use of capital and power, environment-friendly production processes and allows flexibility to innovate and offer products as per market requirements. The handloom sector has been a silent contributor- the traditional and ancient industry addresses several issues and has been achieving many of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The Paper comprehensively reveals the key role and importance of Handloom Industry in achieving major sustainable goals of 17 SDG’s which involves minimal use of capital and power, environment-friendly production processes and allows flexibility to innovate and offer products as per market requirements and to generate standard employment opportunities .

Key Words: Sustainability, Development, Goals, Environment, Handlooms.
