Question

by what means does hand spun khadi provide large scale employment to weavers

Answer 1

After the Industrial Revolution which started in 17th Century England, most textiles have been made on automatic advanced machines which are able to churn out 1000s of metres of cloth every hour by using just 2-3 machine operators.
However, Hand spun Khadi also known as hand-spun looms were used before the industrial revolution and are still used rarely today for very high quality and expensive clothes.
If these are brought back into fashion, there is a possibility to employ thousands and thousands of people in rural area and villages including widows.
We have seen a similar trend with hand made carpets all over the poor areas of varanasi, Badhoi and Agra and this can be replicated for the Textile Industry
