The sale of Khadi products across the country has grown tremendously since 2014, thanks to the repeated appeals of\u00a0 Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to promote Khadi. Since October 2016, the single-day sale at Khadi India\u2019s Flagship Outlet in Connaught Place, New Delhi, has crossed Rs 1 crore mark on 11 different occasions. This record performance of Khadi found a special mention in the latest episode of Prime Minister\u2019s radio program \u201cMann kiBaat\u201d aired on Sunday, 25th<\/sup>\u00a0July.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What makes this performance even more significant is the fact that Khadi\u2019s single-day sales exceeded Rs 1 crore for 4 times in October – November 2020, despite the economic distress and the fear surrounding Corona pandemic. Earlier in 2018 also, the single-day sales at Khadi\u2019s CP outlet had crossed Rs 1 crore mark for 4 times. On 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0October 2019, Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) registered the highest single-day sale of Rs 1.27 crore at the CP outlet which continues to be a record till date.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It was for the first time on 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0October, 2016, that the single day sale at Khadi India outlet in CP had reached Rs 1.16 crore. Earlier, the highest single day sale of Khadi stood at Rs 66.81 lakh that was recorded on 4th<\/sup>\u00a0October 2014, just a day after the Prime Minister\u2019s first address through \u201cMann kiBaat\u201d. In the first episode of his radio program, the PM had appealed the countrymen to buy at least one Khadi product as it would help poor artisans to light lamps on Diwali.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KVIC Chairman Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena attributed the growth in Khadi sales to the constant support of the Prime Minister to promote Khadi. He said it is because of the Hon\u2019ble PM\u2019s appeals that a large number of people particularly youths have been inclined to buy Khadi. The growing buzz around \u201cSwadeshi\u201d has significantly helped lakhs of village industries prosper even during the challenging times of Covid-19 pandemic.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It is pertinent to mention that despite the severe impact of Covid-19 pandemic, KVIC, in 2020-21, registered its highest ever\u00a0annual turnover of Rs 95,741.74 crore, as compared to Rs 88,887 crore turnover in 2019-20, and thus registering a growth of 7.71%.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
