Speaking at the National Handloom Day event in Chennai, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said handloom products must be popularised among the youth. 
Promoting handlooms as he did khadi last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday stressed on new designs, branding and e-commerce to launch the rich, colourful heritage on a global scale.
Inaugurating the 1st National Handloom Day in Chennai, Mr. Modi said he had asked people to use at least one khadi garment to help artisans during his ‘Mann ki baat’ programme last October and the sale of khadi products had since then gone up by 60 per cent compared to the same period last year.
Handlooms constituted 15 per cent of the total cloth consumption in the country. “If you raise this to 20 per cent, it will be a huge boost to the sector as the turnover will increase by 33 per cent,” hesaid


Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched India Handloom mark and delivered a special address at the University of Madras about the need for promoting handloom globally. "We need to popularise this among our youth. This will give the much-needed boost to the handloom sector,"
