The Assam government has decided to gift khadi shirt, endi shawl and endi stole to Grade IV male and female employees in a phased manner from January, an official statement said on Friday.
The decision to provide free khadi clothes would be implemented as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and his movement for khadi besides paving the way for Assam to be self-reliant, CM Sarbananda Sonowal said. He instructed Handloom and Textile Minister Ranjit Dutta to ensure implementation of the initiative.
