New Delhi, Nov 16 (KNN) Government is planning to cover the artisans engaged Khadi production under the Mudra Bank Scheme with the view to improve their socio-economic condition.
“We have planned to cover the artisans engaged in Khadi production under Mudra Bank scheme to improve their livelihood and socio-economic condition,” Union MSME Minister Kalraj Mishra has said.
Government is planning to double the production of Khadi by this initiative, Mishra said adding that as many as 11 lakh additional artisans will get employment.
The Minister said after Prime Minister appealed people to buy Khadi, their sale increased tremendously which increased scope of Khadi production and employment opportunity.
In October last year, Modi had advocated for use of khadi products as a homage to Mahatma Gandhi. He had impressed upon people to use at least one khadi product, may it be a handkerchief or even a bed sheet. (KNN Bureau)
