Asserting that khadi is the symbol of national unity and integration, Union Minister Kalraj Mishra today said it should compete at today's global marketplace and exhorted every citizen to purchase the fabric.
Inaugurating Khadi Utsav here on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, Mishra said it's necessary to develop village industries to ensure khadi competes at a global level and realises the vision of Gram Swaraj.
The MSME Minister felt that khadi exhibitions should be organised in every district of the country.
Arun Kumar Jha, CEO and Commissioner KVIC, said the objective of Khadi Utsav is to revive the dormant khadi production known for its sophistication and fineness as well as to revive the fortunes of artists who are generally working as 'job workers' now.
