 Friends, the best tribute to Mahatma Gandhi is to work on ideas close to his heart. Khadi had been neglected and forgotten for a long time, but through the call of Khadi for nation, Khadi for fashion, it had become very popular. In the last eight years, the sales of the Khadi sector saw an increase of over 300%. Khadi and village industries commission has had a record turnover of over Rs. 1 lakh crore last year. Now, even global fashion brands are taking to Khadi because it is an eco-friendly fabric good for the planet. This is not a revolution of mass production. This is the revolution of production by the masses. Mahatma Gandhi saw Khadi as a tool of self-reliance in villages. In the self-reliance of villages, he saw the seeds of self-reliance India. Inspired by him, we are working towards Atmanirbhar Bharat. Tamil Nadu, with a key centre of the Swadesi movement, it will once again play an important role in Atmanirbhar Bharat.
