Lucknow. Khadi is not a garment but an idea. This is going to be a thing of the past. The reason is that now the range of Khadi is going to increase. Not only will Khadi clothes be made, but shoes, bags, fancy purses etc. will also be made. It will be the endeavor of the government that the quality should also be good and the price should also be cheap and the people associated with it should get employment. It is the intention of the state government that Khadi items should be available in every hand. The intention of the government is that Khadi should not be limited to only clothes. Shoes, bags, fancy purses etc. should also be prepared through Khadi clothes. If it is a matter of enhancing the beauty of Khadi clothes by giving them an attractive look, then in this work the Yogi government will take the help of eminent fashion designers of the country and its related organizations (NIFT). For this, Khadi will modernize the technology of production centers to improve the quality of yarn. Solar Charkhas will also be distributed on a large scale. Those who will be given these charkhas will also be given training to operate it. Overall, the department has set a target of distributing 5000 solar charkhas in the next five years. This will not only improve the quality of the threads but also increase the production.
It is to be known that there are 14 government centers of Khadi in different districts of the state. The old looms of these centers will be replaced by new solar looms. The government has also prepared a complete action plan in this regard for the next five years. Recently, during the presentation of the infrastructure and industrial development sector, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath saw this action plan and also gave necessary instructions. According to the action plan, under Pandit Deendayal Khadi Marketing Development Assistance Scheme (MDA), 25,000 farmers and weavers will be benefited in the next five years. It is expected that these efforts of the government will increase the demand for Khadi. In order to increase the demand, the government will also emphasize on marketing along with making Khadi in line with fashion, increasing the range. In this sequence, the products of Khadi and Village Industries will be linked to the e-commerce platform.
Additional Chief Secretary Khadi and Village Industries Navneet Sehgal says that Khadi and Village Industries is an area of possibilities. With being eco-friendly, the industry associated with it can be set up with minimal infrastructure, less capital and less risk. It is the most employable sector at the local level in terms of capital. Most of the women do the work of making yarn. Therefore, by making them self-supporting, this mission is also helpful in power.
