National Handloom Day 2022

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Swadeshi Movement which started in the year 1905, the government of India decided to choose the same day to celebrate National Handloom Day.

The Swadeshi movement started in Calcutta Town Hall as a protest against partition of Bengal by the British Government.  The main focus of this movement was to boycott foreign  made products and to promote Swadeshi goods, which was the main focus of Mahatma Gandhi, who described Swadeshi as the soul of swaraj.

To strengthen the Swadeshi Movement, Gandhiji burned 1,50,000 English clothes at Elphinstone Mill Compound, Parel, Mumbai on 31 July 1921. Gandhiji raised Khadi spinning mills all over the country and he stamped Khadi spinners as freedom fighters.

To mark the Swadeshi Movement Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the first handloom day in College of Madras’ Centenary Corridor in Chennai on August 7, 2015.
