Abstract

Khadi, a hand-spun and hand-woven textile, is a unique segment of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in India. Over time, it has undergone significant changes with respect to product mix, technology and employment generation. In the present neoliberal context, Khadi is increasingly being seen mainly as an economic activity, thereby, missing out its various social, cultural, and political dimensions. This paper argues that it is still an important segment of the economy, primarily because of its flexibility in terms of time, skills, products and workforce with significant involvement of women and disadvantaged groups, particularly in rural areas. Besides, being environment friendly, it has long-term ‘existence value’. To what extent it can help ensure sustainable economic support with dignity to women and the poor, remains a mute question.
