New Delhi: The Central government is making an effort to raise awareness and appreciation for Khadi in keeping with its ethos of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
In a recent directive, the University Grants Commission (UGC) directed Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to use Khadi products in the process of teaching, learning, organising seminars, conferences, workshops and other events.
Universities and colleges will have to use eco-friendly khadi shawls/angavastrams, etc. to felicitate the guests/dignitaries.
“Such a practice while reaffirming our links with freedom struggle, also showcases our appreciation for our nation’s rich textile tradition. Similarly, books may also be considered for presentation on such occasions to reflect our commitment to knowledge and learning and as a way to disseminate our rich literary culture to a wider audience. Further, the incorporation of these practices would help in promoting and empowering our local artisans and also contribute to making the books of local authors accessible to a wider set of people,” UGC stated in a letter to HEIs.
