"I am very happy to note that through this programme World Trade Center Mumbai is propagating Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of peace, non-violence and prosperity by promoting Khadi. Khadi is a symbol of our rich tradition. India was the leading producer of textile before the British era. Going back to the basics will help India reclaim its glory in textiles. I am delighted that Khadi is becoming a preferred international brand” said H.E. Shri. Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra at a programme on ‘Weaving Peace’ to celebrate 150 years of Mahatma Gandhi. The event was organised by WTC Mumbai and 'IAMKHADI'.
Promote Khadi for Peace and Prosperity, says H.E. Shri. Bhagat Singh Koshyari
Hon’ble Governor Shri. Koshyari further remarked, “Mahatma Gandhi encouraged Khadi to generate employment for millions of people. Using Khadi by masses will empower and enrich rural artisans and weavers. The common man adopts the fashion and style of his role models. I urge popular society leaders to adopt and promote Khadi and I hope through this programme we can realize the vision of the Father of Nation.” Shri Koshyari appreciated the efforts of World Trade Center in organizing this Exhibition and display for promoting Khadi.
In his welcome remarks, Mr. Vijay Kalantri, Vice Chairman, MVIRDC World Trade Center Mumbai said, “Mahatma Gandhi spread the message of self-reliance, peace and non-violence through Khadi. WTC Mumbai takes lead in promoting this message by popularizing Khadi in the international market. I am confident that the trade missions present here will create awareness about Khadi in their home countries. WTC Mumbai also supports the Swachh Bharat Mission, which is another vision of our Father of Nation and our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri. Narendra Modi.”
