A vocal promoter of women empowerment that prime minister Narendra Modi is, he made a series of gestures on the occasion of International Women’s Day on Monday to drive home the point.
Basically, Modi bought quite a few women-made products. For one, he bought a traditional Assamese Gamusa made by women self-help groups.
Said Modi:“You have seen me wear the Gamusa very often. It is extremely comfortable. Today, I bought a Gamusa made by various self-help groups of Kakatipapung Development Block.” Narendra Modi attached a screenshot of the webpage where the product is available and shared the link to it as well.
He has also purchased a traditional Naga shawl from Nagaland. Another was a Khadi product.
“Khadi is closely associated with Mahatma Gandhi and India’s rich history. Bought a Khadi Cotton Madhubani Painted Stole.”
Then there was a product made by women in Kerala.
“I am eagerly awaiting to receive Classic Palm Craft Nilavilakku made by women based in Kerala. It is commendable how our #NariShakti has preserved and popularised local crafts and products.”
He also made a shout for the handmade jute file folder from West Bengal.
“Made by tribal communities of the state, you all must have a jute product from West Bengal in your homes!”
He also highlighted Gond Paper painting. He shared a pic of painting he bought
