National Handloom Day 2021

Weaving empowerment, preserving culture

National Handloom Day is commemorated every year on August 7, with the aim to spread awareness of the need to protect our handloom heritage and to empower handloom weavers and allied workers.

Key Highlights

1. Handloom is a symbol of India’s rich cultural heritage.
2. The handloom sector provides livelihood in rural and semi-rural areas of the country.
3. The sector directly addresses women's empowerment.

National Handloom Day is celebrated every year on the seventh of August. On this day 116 years ago, prominent Indian freedom fighters -- Lajpat Rai, Bipin Chandra Pal, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and others -- launched the Swadeshi Movement urging Indians to boycott British-made textiles in favour of homespun products for self-reliance. The spinning wheel soon became a symbol of the mass movement against British rule in India.

In July 2015, the Central government proclaimed August 7 as National Handloom Day. Through this observance, the government aims to honour handloom workers in the country and to empower them with greater opportunities. The day also aims to shine a spotlight on the need to protect our handloom heritage.

Handloom is a symbol of India’s rich cultural heritage, and this sector is one of the largest income-generating sources in the country. It provides livelihood in rural and semi-rural areas of the country. The handloom sector addresses women empowerment as more than 70 per cent of all weavers and allied workers are women, as per the government.

The pandemic outbreak and subsequent shutdowns caused disruption of businesses across the world. The handloom sector has, too, been severely impacted by the crisis unleashed by the virus pandemic. Pandemic-triggered hurdles have led to abrupt interruption to the livelihoods of weavers and allied workers.

There are no signs of swift economic recovery, as the COVID-19 pandemic drags on. We must act to protect the interest of handlooms weavers and our country’s glorious cultural heritage. Financial support, design innovation, product diversification, infrastructure development, skill upgradation, lighting units and access to markets can make a difference to weavers in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged all citizens to buy handloom products and showcase their grandeur by associating with #MyHandloomMyPride.

कारगिल विजय दिवस पर विशेष

कारगिल विजय दिवस पर विशेष

26 जुलाई 2021: 🔅कारगिल विजय दिवस स्वतंत्र भारत के सभी देशवासियों के लिए एक बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण दिवस है। भारत में प्रत्येक वर्ष 26 जुलाई को यह दिवस मनाया जाता है। इस दिन भारत और पाकिस्तान की सेनाओं के बीच वर्ष 1999 में कारगिल युद्ध हुआ था जो लगभग 60 दिनों तक चला और 26 जुलाई के दिन उसका अंत हुआ और इसमें भारत विजय हुआ। कारगिल विजय दिवस युद्ध में शहीद हुए भारतीय जवानों के सम्मान हेतु यह दिवस मनाया जाता है।

कारगिल विजय दिवस हर साल कारगिल के द्रास क्षेत्र में मनाया जाता हैं. साथ ही यह हमारे देश की राजधानी नयी दिल्ली में भी मनाया जाता हैं, यहाँ इंडिया गेट के अमर जवान ज्योति स्थल पर देश के भावी प्रधानमंत्री हर साल देश के बहादुर सैनिकों को श्रद्धांजलि देते हैं. देश में विभिन्न स्थानों पर स्मरण उत्सव भी मनाये जाते हैं, जिनमें सेनाओं के योगदान और बलिदान को याद किया जाता हैं और उन्हें सम्मानित किया जाता हैं.

26 जुलाई 1999 को भारत ने कारगिल युद्ध में विजय हासिल की थी। इस दिन को हर वर्ष विजय दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाता है। करीब दो महीने तक चला कारगिल युद्ध भारतीय सेना के साहस और जांबाजी का ऐसा उदाहरण है जिस पर हर देशवासी को गर्व होना चाहिए। करीब 18 हजार फीट की ऊँचाई पर कारगिल में लड़ी गई इस जंग में देश ने लगभग 527 से ज्यादा वीर योद्धाओं को खोया था वहीं 1300 से ज्यादा घायल हुए थे। युद्ध में २७०० पाकिस्तानी सैनिक मारे गए और २५० पाकिस्तानी सैनिक जंग छोड़ के भाग गए।

 कारगिल विजय दिवस के 22 साल पूरे हो गए। 26 जुलाई 1999 को कारगिल युद्ध में भारत को विजय मिली थी, इस वजह से हर साल 26 जुलाई को कारगिल विजय दिवस मनाया जाता है। 1999 में करगिल की पहाड़ियों पर पाकिस्तानी घुसपैठियों ने कब्जा जमा लिया था, जिसके बाद भारतीय सेना ने उनके खिलाफ ऑपरेशन विजय चलाया। ऑपरेशन विजय 8 मई से शुरू होकर 26 जुलाई तक चला था। 

“ भारतीय सेना द्वारा द्रास में स्थित कारगिल वार मेमोरियल का मुख्य प्रवेश द्वार ”

प्रारम्भ में इसे घुसपैठ मान लिया था और दावा किया गया कि इन्हें कुछ ही दिनों में बाहर कर दिया जाएगा। लेकिन नियंत्रण रेखा में खोज के बाद और इन घुसपैठियों के नियोजित रणनीति में अंतर का पता चलने के बाद भारतीय सेना को अहसास हो गया कि हमले की योजना बहुत बड़े पैमाने पर किया गया है। इसके बाद भारत सरकार ने ऑपरेशन विजय नाम से 2,00,000 सैनिकों को भेजा। यह युद्ध आधिकारिक रूप से 26 जुलाई 1999 को समाप्त हुआ। इस युद्ध के दौरान 550 सैनिकों ने अपने जीवन का बलिदान दिया और 1400 के करीब घायल हुए थे ।

International Plastic Beg Free Day

 International Plastic Beg Free Day 3rd July 2021

On July 3, when you go to the grocery store take a cloth or paper bag with you because it is International Plastic Bag Free Day.

International Plastic Bag Free Day is also known as International Bag Free Day.

Created by Bag Free World, a “global initiative that aims to eliminate the use of single-use plastic bags,” International Bag Free Day is an unofficial holiday that promotes environmental conservation by encouraging people to reject plastic bags. The holiday also raises awareness of the harm that plastic bags do to nature and to animals and marine life.

How to Celebrate?

Say no to single-use plastic bags.

Take your own cloth or paper bag when you go shopping. Not only will you be saving money – several grocery stores give discounts for patrons bringing in their own bags, you will also be helping to save the environment.

If you are crafty, make your own bag and carry it with style.

Volunteer your time or money with an environmental organization that works on cleaning water and landmasses of plastic bags.

Recycle all the plastic in your house and office.

Spread the word to your family and friends.

If you are a company, why not make promotional cloth bags to give away to your clients and customers?
