New Delhi, Mar 20: Khadi, the heritage fabric of India, is all set to catch eyes during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two-day visit to Bangladesh scheduled on Mar 26 and 27. Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has supplied 100 custom-designed 'Mujib Jackets' that will be the attire of dignitaries during the visit of the Prime Minister.
The Mujib Jacket is famed as the signature garment worn by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who is called
Bangladesh’s Father of the Nation. As Bangladesh celebrates Mujib Borsho, the birth centenary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Indira Gandhi Cultural Centre of the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, had placed an order for 100 Mujib Jackets, ahead of the PM Modi's visit to Bangladesh.
The specially designed Mujib Jackets have been made of high quality handcrafted Poly Khadi fabric. The black Mujib Jackets have been designed with 6 buttons, two pockets on the lower half and a front pocket on the left, as worn by Rahman. In keeping with the eco-friendly nature of the Khadi fabric, the covers for these jackets too have been made of black Khadi cotton fabric with Khadi India’s logo embroidered over it.
These jackets will be carried in specially designed plastic-mixed handmade paper carry bags made at KVIC’s Kumarappa National Handmade Paper Institute (KNHPI) in Jaipur. KVIC Chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena said that “Mujib Jacket is historically significant in Bangladesh and it is a matter of great pride that Mujib jackets made of Khadi will be adorned during the Bangladesh visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is the biggest brand ambassador of Khadi."
