Do spin and spin after due deliberation. Let those who spin wear khaddar and let no one who wears khadi fail to spin. ‘Due deliberation’ means realization that charkha or act of spinning is the symbol of non-violence.
Ponder; it will be self-evident.
~ M K Gandhi
Glimpses of People around Khadi
JOin us and be a part of our story
With the advent of power looms and the mechanized process of textile making in India, the growth of Khadi has been severely hampered. What was once the beacon of independence and self-sustenance has now become a struggling industry with decreasing demand and production. Through the Khadi and Village Industries Trust, we are striving to ensure that the fabric of Khadi and, consequently, the fabric of India – do not fray.
Gandhi had invoked Khadi at the time of the freedom struggle, assigning a rich cultural value. It is this culture that we are trying to save and we can use all the help we can get. By pledging to buy Khadi and products manufactured by village industries supported by our Trust, you can also take Gandhi’s legacy forward. So come, join our movement and help us realize Gandhi’s idea of a self-sustaining India.
