Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today said that the state government would use khadi from Assam Khadi and Gramodyog Board in all government offices and establishments to rejuvenate the Board.
"The state government will soon take a decision to this effect to rejuvenate and strengthen Assam Khadi and Gramodyog Board", the chief minister said while unveiling the life-size statue of Mahatma Gandhi at the premises of Assam Khadi and Gramodyog Board here.
He also asked the Board to carry out a survey to assess the demand of khadi in the state.
