Although khadi has been in vogue since the British period, it has changed over time. In the beginning, khadi was made only by hand looming, later the production was increased by making holes under the feet to meet the increasing demand. At present, automated machine is used to make khadi in higher quantities which had serious negative impact on the environment. We need to think about how we can apply technology to the handloom khadi. We can undertake such an initiative with the goal to improve the handloom. This activity may be started with the aim of improving handmade looms. We need to ensure that good quality looms are produced and lasts long. Khadi sellers and entrepreneurs should know how to use technology everyday to keep track of their daily expenditures. Now children in every home are aware of the use of technology and there are various training facilities to train professionals. Nowadays many online entrepreneurs are working with khadi. They need to further develop their knowledge and skill in growing market for khadi. They can promote handmade khadi through Internet. They can run various promotional activities on their personal profiles, pages, groups, websites and YouTube channels. We need to keep in mind that the more one becomes adept in using technology the more one will remain ahead of others in competition. Therefore, for all domestic products including khadi, we need to ensure the use of technology to promote the products at national and international level.
