On Gandhi Jayanti and the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, Cooperation, Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Vishwas Kailash Sarang and Bhopal Mayor Malti Rai visited a Khadi Gramodyog Store in Bhopal on Friday. They purchased khadi clothing and swadeshi products, giving citizens a message to adopt locally made goods.

Minister Sarang said that Mahatma Gandhi’s life was based on the ideas of simplicity, swadeshi and self-reliance. He said khadi is not merely a fabric, but also a symbol of self-reliance, independence and respect for artisans.

The minister and the mayor purchased khadi garments and other swadeshi products during their visit to the store. The programme highlighted the message of promoting indigenous goods and supporting people associated with their production.

Khadi and Village Industries Board Chairman Pankaj Joshi, Vice-Chairman Rakesh Singh Jadon and employees of the emporium were also present on the occasion.
