This was stated in a proposal to upsurge domestic sourcing, to make it authorized, recently the Textile Ministry issued a letter in this regard.

Ministries have also been asked to share details on how much non-local content do the government and departments buy from the textile sector to comprehend and measure the difference, with specifics on total expense on local and non-local textile buys.

Government carrier Air India is already using khadi’s utility kit for its business-class passengers. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is also promoting local artisans in various ways. Promotion of local culture at the upcoming airports is also under consideration at AAI.

As per the Textile Ministry the increase in purchase from the local craftsperson by government departments and ministries under the ‘Make in India’ scheme, a flagship program of the Centre that is meant to safeguard growth of the country’s manufacturing sector, will ultimately result in more job creation.
