Pointing out that there would be a month-long discount on khadi products from October 2, he said the income from hand loom and khadi sales go to the poor weavers or their widows.”So I urge you all to give space to khadi in your homes this Diwali,” the prime minister said in his Mann Ki Baat address on All India Radio.
“It gives me great pleasure to announce that khadi sales have doubled over one year,” he added, thanking people for having responded generously to a similar appeal he made last year.
