Khadi is also being mixed with silk, wool and cotton for preparing dress material. Silk and Khadi garments are in the ratio of 50-50 per cent.""The fabric is slightly expensive but it gives a royal look," she added.Navneet Sehgal, additional chief secretary MSME and Khadi and Gramodyog, said, "Handmade and eco-friendly Khadi is not just a garment but an idea. It is also a symbol of independence and has made the country proud."He said the increase in demand for Khadi will also generate employment at the local-level and weavers and youths will get employment.
