The feedback we have received so far has been very positive and encouraging. Our khadi sarees have been recently exhibited at an exhibition in Dubai and were well-received. About Khadi The fabric of the freedom movement, is truly indian in spirit. In producing khadi, a large number of people in the rural sectors are given employment in processes like, spinning, weaving, dyeing etc. Khadi is a fabric that is spun by hand and woven on the handlooms. The hand-involved processes lend a unique texture to the cloth and is sought after by many. About Gandhigram Gandhigram came into existence in 1947 through the efforts of Dr. T.S.
