Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always focused on skill development, hence the decision was taken to start charkha weaving course from January next year. UPRTOU will be the only university to run this course.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 9 November 2016.
There is a charkha laboratory in Allahabad where students can attend classes from Monday to Saturday for practical lessons. The laboratory is equipped with 40 charkhas on which students can learn on how to run and weave on the spinning wheel. Teachers come from Uttar Pradesh Khadi and Gram Udyog.
While no educational qualification is needed to pursue this course and there is no age bar, it will benefit students belonging to rural areas. On completion of the course, students can get many employment opportunities since the demand for khadi clothes is increasing.
