VIA LEW organises ‘Abhinav Khadi’ fashion show in Nagpur in memory of Mahatma Gandhi
VIA LEW (Vidarbha Industries Association – Lady Entrepreneurs Wing) recently organised the ‘Abhinav Khadi’ fashion show in Nagpur to celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. This was the third consecutive year wherein VIA LEW organised such a fashion show.
The main objective behind organising the event was not only to promote budding designers of the region but to create awareness about the khadi. It was an attempt to display new, creative and innovative trends in Khadi clothing.
For the uninitiated, Khadi is a hand-woven cloth, which gained popularity during the freedom movement. For Mahatma Gandhi, Khadi was an idea of self-reliance, freedom from oppression and economic liberation. Even today, Khadi production provides employment to over 20 lakh people in India.

The TMC has ensured it has additional stock of oxygen concentrators, testing kits, medicines, to name a few. Bangar told HT, “Due to the increasing number of Covid patients, it is necessary for everyone to be alert.”
He added, The number of Covid tests should be increased to stay one step ahead of the disease. As a result, the number of patients is likely to increase due to increased testing. However, as per the ‘test, isolate, treat’ protocol for Covid, it becomes necessary to isolate and treat more and more patients. The testing centres will not remain closed even for a single day. At the same time, more arrangements for testing will be made immediately in public places, markets, railway stations, malls.”
