Adarniya pradhan mantri ji, 1. We should encourage sale of Khadi made clothes. 2. We should make a strategy to boost exports of Khadi and Handloom made clothes to other countries. This is because these clothes are expensive and vast majority of Indians cannot afford to buy it. 3. Entrepreneurs who wish to start Handloom business in India should be given Collateral free Credit based Loans. 4. Government should give guidelines to Schools and Colleges that one component of Dress will be Khadi made

In the current time, quality is the most important factor in survival of any industry/product. This high quality cannot be achieved without technology. So more work for Research & Development team to enhance the fabric quality naturally & of course the quality of stiching which neefs a 360 degree analysis for improvement. Quality has a direct relationship with cost, so technology improvement is the only way to reduce cost. Regards, Preeti

जब सरकार ने आर्थिक गतिविधियों को भी जरूरी सेवाएं मान कर कुछ बंदिशों के साथ चालू करने की अनुमति तो दे दी है तो जनता से भी आपेक्षित है कि वह कोरोना से बचाव के उपायों पर पहले से भी ज्यादा ध्यान देने की प्रतिबद्धता होनी चाहिए। लेकिन ऐसा देखा जा रहा है लोग बाजार में जैसे जरूरी सामान लेने नहीं बल्कि टहलने निकले हों। अपनी तरफ से पूरी सावधानी बरतने पर भी कोई न कोई बेपरवाह व्यक्ति टकरा जाता है। किसी को इतनी जल्दबाजी होती है कि जमीन पर बने घेरे को पीछे छोड़ता हुआ सीधे काउंटर तक पहुंच जाता है। कैसी जल्दी

Our area is large raw material producer but that raw material producing personnel i.e farmers are the biggest victims of middlemen who just come, purchase the raw material in fewer prices, and sell this to factories to high prices and we thought raw material is not in reasonable prices. Make direct selling arrangements from farmers to Industry otherwise give machinery to farmers cluster group for producing the final product.
