Answer 1

Three reasons for encouraging Khadi are:

1. Khadi production is labour-intensive and supports rural people's livelihoods, contributing to job creation and community economic growth.
2. Khadi is created from natural fibres and uses minimal industrial processes, making it environmentally friendly by lowering carbon emissions and water consumption.
3. Khadi represents India's rich cultural legacy and the attitude of self-reliance promoted throughout the freedom movement. Hence, it maintains traditional crafts and national pride.
