Friday dressing for government employees will help boost Fabindia sales.
The government is considering a plea from the Khadi and Village Industries and Commission to appeal to its employees to wear the clothes made from Khadi, a hand-spun fabric at least once a week to boost the production and benefit the small weavers across the nation.
The government is planning to make an appeal to its employees to wear khadi clothes to work on Fridays. Most of the government officials are ready to welcome the plea with open arms. The khadi campaign means good news for Fabindia, an Indian store retailing handloom products created by fine craftsmen across rural India. It will boost the country’s khadi production, and in turn, Fabindia’s sales too. The central government comprises of more than 35 lakh employees currently, and this enormous number does not include officials from the railway and defense departments. So every individual is expected to buy at least one khadi garment, and that will bring in huge numbers not only for Fabindia but also benefit many small weavers across the country, as the brand links more than 55,000 rural craftsmen to modern urban markets.
