Khadi Kendra

The Khadi Kendra at Gandhi Nidhi Chhatarpur is a vibrant hub that embodies our commitment to sustainability and self-reliance. Established during the inception of our organisation, this centre serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, whose vision for India was deeply intertwined with the principles of Khadi. In India, the terms Charkha (hand spinning) and Khadi (handloom) are not just synonymous with traditional crafts; they represent a powerful movement towards economic independence and environmental consciousness.

Embracing the Art of Khadi

At our Khadi Kendra, we offer comprehensive training programs that teach participants the intricate art of spinning cotton and weaving on handlooms. Our workshops are designed for individuals of all skill levels, from beginners eager to learn the basics to experienced artisans looking to refine their craft. Through hands-on sessions, participants gain valuable insights into the processes involved in creating high-quality, sustainable fabrics.

Our practical sessions cover various aspects of Khadi production, including:

⦁ Cotton Spinning: Learn how to transform raw cotton into beautiful yarn using traditional spinning techniques.
⦁ Handloom Weaving: Discover the art of weaving on handlooms, creating unique patterns and textures that celebrate Indian heritage.
⦁ Sustainable Practices: Understand the environmental benefits of using Khadi, including reduced carbon footprints and support for local economies.

Join the Movement for Sustainable Clothing

By participating in our workshops, you become part of a slow revolution advocating for sustainable clothing. Khadi is more than just a fabric; it represents a conscious choice to support eco-friendly fashion and ethical production methods. Each piece of Khadi cloth tells a story of craftsmanship and dedication to preserving our environment.

We believe that everyone can contribute to this movement. Whether you are interested in learning a new skill, supporting local artisans, or simply embracing a more sustainable lifestyle, our Khadi Kendra welcomes you with open arms.
