Khadi is not merely a piece of cloth. It is a philosophy. A way of life. A symbol of empowerment, self-dependence, pride of history, Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of the relevance of roots.

As Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi on his radio program “Mann ki Baat” on 3rd October, 2014 said that “we must promote the use of Khadi and we should buy at least one Khadi article. If you buy Khadi, you light the lamp of prosperity in the house of the poor”.This appealled to an increase in Khadi sales by 125% at the various outlets in India. This reflects a latent demand for Khadi, which needs to tapped which in turn will create rural employment. Potential consumers of Khadi could be schools, hospitals, Railways, PSUs, Army, Para-military forces, Fashion houses etc.

USP of the Khadi product is its eco-friendly, almost carbon neutral nature, which leaves near zero water footprints. It is socio-economically sustainable textile product. It’s an all-weather and allergy free fabric. Hence, Khadi use is a step towards ‘Zero Effect’ and ‘Zero Poverty’ India.

Currently, people employed in Khadi sector are earning Rs.1200 to Rs.1800 per month. MGIRI Wardha has developed a Solar Charkha which can increase the earnings to four times the existing one, cutting the drudgery along.Taking the initiative forward, MoMSME is going to start a pilot project in the KHANWA village, Nawada district of Bihar, where 100 Solar Charkhas would be distributed to the rural women for spinning of yarn. Under buyback arrangement with ‘Gram Nirmaan Mandal, Khadi Sansthan, GAYA, these yarns would be weaved into Khadi products. This scheme islikely to provide Rs.5000 to 8000 per month to the women artisans.This model of wage earnings to the rural women has to be scaled up so as to achieve the visionary goal of providing job opportunities to crores of rural women in coming years.

This, in turn is expected to lay a platform for another visionary goal of increasing the market share of Khadi in the textile sector from present 0.4% to 5% in next Five years in first phase.

In pursuance of the above twin visionary goals, you are requested to give your valuable inputs on

1. How to enhance the production and sale of Khadi?
2. How to create a niche for Khadi products particularly among youths and about 2.5 crore NRIs living abroad?
3. How to foster awareness about Khadi products?

The last date for submission of your comments is 31st March, 2015.

Respected Modi ji,
I have to share about new Education Policy.
1 I would llike to mention that soul of the education have been missing since fifty sixty years . No philosopher,thinker,sciencetist, true nationalist have been produced in India .It seems to me.
2. Knowledge bank and education both are not synonim.
3. In true sense Education has deep meaning,it comprises whole sphere of life-from life to death & after death also

It will be a noble cause for making a self dependent India, if our Government plans for rural women employment through Khadi Udyog. There are thousands of house wives who are expert in hand loom. If central Gov. support them by marketing their product through proper channel and give them financial assistance at the early stage then it will definitely work and our rural women will get chance to income their own.. NGOs can play a vital role in executing such type of projects.

Respected Pradhan Mantri ji,
Amrendra Kumar CIT (A) is really very corrupted officer and creating fear amongst citizens and perhaps few higher authorities has given him custody. Because of which now he has become burocratic and it is necessary to control on him. Modi Ji jab hum aapko T.V. me dekhte to uski recording kar lete. Aap hi samajhiye ki aapke ek ek word ko kina pasand karte hai phir yeh aapke hote huwe yeh bhrastachari kaisi free ho kar kaam kar raha hai joki unconstitutional hai

1 Establish a section in every branch for one month with adequate authority and support system.
2 Check the opened account and verify its owner by Third party.
3 Software of the account must be amended to avoid account becoming “dormant”.
4 Awareness amongst the masses must be created that banks money belongs to them it does not belong to any individual or a few people who can decide on it on

आप सभी को मेरा नमस्कार , सरकारी दफ्तरों में आजकल पता ही नहीं चलता कौन ईमानदार है , कोई भी बड़े अफसरों के नाम पर पैसे मांग लेता .... कैसे पता चले कौन सही है .... कम से कम जो ईमानदार है उन्हे अपने दफ्तर की दीवार पर " मै ईमानदार हूँ , कृपया सहयोग करे " का पोस्टर लगा लेना चाहिए ..हाहाहा seriously
