Khadi exhibition unveiled in Varanasi, to promote and support artisans
A Khadi exhibition displaying handicraft products from over 20 states was inaugurated by Union Minister of State for MSME Shri Bhanu Pratap Singh Verma yesterday. Furthermore the Khadi and Village Industries Commision organised a Khadi Kareegar Sammelan, that was attended by over 2000 khadi artisans from all over the country, to promote and support artisans through product promotion to enhance their incomes.
The minister stated, “In the last few years, Varanasi has emerged as a hub of various Khadi activities. Almost all rural and traditional arts like spinning, weaving, beekeeping and pottery have been promoted on a large scale here, that has created self-employment for the artisans and made them aatmanirbhar.”
The annual exhibition is set to showcase about 105 stalls set up from khadi institutions from several states like Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Gujarat, and Himachal Pradesh.
Furthermore, the products on display included muslin fabric from West Bengal, silk fabric Koti Shawls from Punjab, leather products from Kanpur, terracotta pottery from Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, etc.
