Khadi fair planned in Visakhapatnam for Gandhi Jayanti
A khadi fair will be held in Visakhapatnam on October 2 and 3 as part of a nationwide campaign linked to Gandhi Jayanti and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25 years in public life. Organisers say the event will promote handloom, indigenous products and support for artisans.
A two-day khadi fair will be held in Visakhapatnam on October 2 and 3 as part of the nationwide Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, according to BJP district president MMN Parusurama Raju. The event, called Khadi Santha, will take place at the Sri Karaka Chettu Polamamba Kalyana Mandapam. It is being organised to coincide with Gandhi Jayanti and celebrations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s completion of 25 years in public life.
Parusurama Raju announced the programme while releasing its poster at a media conference on Wednesday. He said the fair would raise public awareness of ideas associated with Mahatma Gandhi, including Swachh Bharat and the use of handloom products. He urged residents to choose indigenous goods and support artisans, linking the appeal to Modi’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, or a self-reliant India.
The organiser promoted the slogan “Swadeshi in every home” and described the event’s message as an invitation to embrace indigenous products and help build a self-reliant India.
