Khadi on Fridays for Central Government employees?
According to unconfirmed sources, the
Centre is giving serious thoughts about making Khadi-wearing compulsory
for its employees on Fridays. News continues to flow non-stop about
Central Government employees and their offices the past few days.
Recently, an order was issued making it mandatory to hoist the national
flag atop the Kendriya Vidyalaya school buildings all over the
country, everyday.
There are now plans of making the
Central Government employees wear Khadi once every week, preferably on
Fridays. All the Central Government employees – starting from the top
bosses right down to the entry-level staff, will be asked to wear Khadi
once a week. Saxena, the director of Khadi Gram Udyog, said that he was
planning to discuss this possibility with the government soon. He
however added that it wouldn’t be made mandatory, and will be left to
the discretion of the employees.
According to sources, the officer also
said that the sale of Khadi will increase tremendously if all the
Central Government employees come forward to buy at least one dress and
hoped that the employees wouldn’t oppose this.
