Addressing the gathering, Chairman KVIC Manoj Goyal stated that under the leadership and efforts of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, both Yoga and Khadi have evolved into global mass movements. He remarked that yoga is not merely a physical exercise but an Indian way of life that fosters balance and positivity, while Khadi stands as a symbol of self-reliance, Swadeshi (indigenous spirit), and sustainable development.
