In his address, Shri Chakravarty emphasized the dual purpose of the initiative: popularizing locally crafted Khadi flags and fostering patriotism, especially among the youth.

A mobile sale van, flagged off by the Superintendent of Police and the Municipal Board Chairman, will visit Tamulpur and Goreswar, ensuring that even remote communities can participate in the Republic Day celebrations.

The Tamulpur Anchalik Gramdan Sangha, established in 1971 and supported by KVIC, has been a beacon for Khadi and village industries. Through its Khadi Gramodyog Vidyalaya in Kumarikata, it offers training in spinning, weaving, and design, benefiting youth across the Northeast.

The initiative, blending patriotic pride with the promotion of rural craftsmanship, is set to inspire communities while celebrating the spirit of Republic Day.
