Khadi made compulsory for all Central govt hospitals

The Health Ministry on Friday ordered all of its 23 government hospitals to use only Khadi products. The list of hospitals includes hospitals like AIIMS, PGIMER (Chandigarh) and NIMHANS (Bengaluru). "Adopting Khadi for hospitals and staff is a significant symbol of Khadi being the most natural and organic skin friendly fabric," a Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) official said.
