Central Khadi Board to upgrade the charkha
In a bid to increase productivity of the khadi industry, the Central Khadi Board has modernised the charkha. "The board is sending equipment worth Rs 80 lakh which will be provided to weavers at a low price," said Giriraj Prasad Sharma of the Hadoti Khadi Gramodyog. Over 500 weavers from villages associated with the Gramodyog will benefit from the move.
