Indian spinners who spin yarn on the charkha (spinning wheel) will see a 25-per cent rise in their wages, while weavers who work on the loom will receive a 7-per cent hike, the ministry of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) recently announced. The revised wages were effective beginning October 2, the birth anniversary of the Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had disclosed the hike in wages last month at a ceremony held at Gujarat’s Porbandar, Mahatma Gandhi’s birthplace.

A special discount of 20 per cent on khadi products and 10 per cent on village industries items was launched at official khadi outlets across the country, a statement from the ministry said.

The last such wage hike was on April 1, 2023.
