Summary
Uttar Pradesh said it will open new khadi outlets across the state after surveying sales centres, training institutes and assets, aiming to lift youth demand and link khadi more directly to jobs.
New stores are being planned for locations with strong customer bases, while the state pushes wider khadi availability at universities, technical institutes, medical colleges and other public places.
Officials also told banks to clear pending cases quickly and extend loans to eligible beneficiaries so village-industry schemes can meet targets within set deadlines.
The broader drive spans khadi, handloom and silk sectors, with orders to fully use this year's budget, modernize training centres and finish a common facilities centre in Kushinagar.
