About the Khadi Mahotsav Slogan Contest

Khadi is the fabric of freedom struggle and the father of the nation. Mahatma Gandhi developed the concept of Khadi as a means to provide employment to the unemployed rural population.

Our Hon’ble PM has given the mantra of Khadi for the nation, Khadi for fashion and Khadi is now seen as a fashion statement. It is now used in denim, jackets, shirts, dress material, stoles, home furnishings, and apparel accessories like handbags.

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission, in collaboration with MyGov is hosting a Slogan Competition, to sensitize the youth towards Khadi, ‘Vocal for Local’ and make them aware of the benefits of these to our economy, ecology & women’s empowerment and to catalyze the public at large & youth in particular to buy Khadi & local products and inculcate in them pride for local products.
