KVIC launches high-quality Muslin fabric masks for Diwali
The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has launched a two-layered “Happy Diwali” printed face masks made of pure muslin fabric, high-quality and ultra-fine cotton fabric handmade by traditional khadi artisans of West Bengal.
It also has plans to launch Christmas and New Year-special masks in the coming days.
The muslin face masks have been developed following the overwhelming public response to two layers Khadi Cotton and three-layers silk masks. So far KVIC has sold over 18 lakh such face masks across the country in less than six months.
The Diwali Muslin face masks are priced nominally at Rs 75 apiece and are available for sale through the Khadi outlets in Delhi and online through KVIC’s e-portal.
KVIC Chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena said the double-layered Diwali mask is another effort of the KVIC to protect people from pandemic while celebrating the festivals in style.
“Apart from protecting people from the spread of disease, KVIC is constantly working to make its face masks look trendy. These Muslin fabric face masks have added variety to our range of face masks that also include cotton and silk masks. At the same time, this is creating additional employment for Khadi artisans,” Saxena said.
