KVIC Chairman Manoj Goyal has launched a nationwide special discount sale on khadi products for Gandhi Jayanti. He inaugurated Khadi Mahotsav in New Delhi on October 2. Goyal purchased khadi products at Gramodyog Bhawan and paid via UPI.

The discount campaign runs from October 2 to November 16 across the country. It covers Khadi Bhawan outlets, including the one at Connaught Place in New Delhi. During the sale, customers get up to 20 per cent off khadi products.

Village industry products carry a 10 per cent discount. Goyal said KVIC is taking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call of Har Ghar Swadeshi to the masses. The khadi sector has posted over Rs 1.87 lakh crore in turnover.

It employs more than 2.04 crore people. The campaign ties into the festival season ahead of Diwali. It aims to boost sales for rural artisans and weavers.

More than 100 stalls will also showcase products at INA Delhi Haat. Live demonstrations of charkha, pottery and honey-making are planned.
