The National Handloom Day is observed annually on 7th August to honour the handloom weavers in the country and also highlight India’s handloom industry.
The Union Government had declared 7th of August as the National Handloom Day in July 2015 with the objective of generating awareness about the importance of the handloom industry to the socio economic development of the country. August 7 was chosen as the National Handloom Day to commemorate the Swadeshi Movement which was launched on this day in 1905 in Calcutta Town Hall to protest against the partition of Bengal by the British Government. The movement had aimed at reviving domestic products and production processes.
Handloom sector is a symbol of the country’s glorious cultural heritage and an important source of livelihood in the country. The sector is key to women empowerment as over 70% of handloom weavers and allied workers are women.
The first National Handloom Day was held on 7th August 2015. On this day, the handloom weaving community is honoured and the contribution of this sector in the socio-economic development of this country is highlighted. The resolve to protect our handloom heritage and to empower the handloom weavers and workers with greater opportunities is reaffirmed.The Government endeavours to ensure sustainable development of the handloom sector thereby empowering our handloom weavers and workers financially and instilling pride in their exquisite craftsmanship.

Why did I love him?
Because he is a wonderful person. There were a few qualities that I found in him that I did not see in anyone else. He is the kindest person I know. He is always ready to help others. He has a beautiful smile and kind heart.
These qualities are surely attractive. But would I love someone else having the similar qualities in the same way that I loved him? Probably not. Definitely not.
It was also the way he invested in me and understood me. It was also the fact that he was there for me when no one else was. It was also how he saw me in my worst but chose to hold me and be with me instead of getting away from me.
These things do add up. This is why he is so special to me…

It’s said friends are forever. Friendship stands high among all core values. There are many instances we can find in history. In Indian mythology we can read about ‘Krishna-Sudama’ and their divine friendship. It can do great to all when well understood and can cause equally reverse effect when misunderstood.
We celebrate this day every year to remember our friends and their valuable contribution in shaping our life. To me every day of the year is like a friendship day. I remember a quotation with great meaning from my childhood.
‘”A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
It says something like friends are all who stand by us all the time and not only in our good times. A friend can be anyone in our life who care for us. So, it’s important to understand friendship and choose friends wise and wide. It’s time to evaluate ourselves on our…

Friendship Day (also International Friendship Day or Friend’s Day) is a day in several countries for celebrating friendship. It was initially promoted by the greeting cards’ industry; evidence from social networking sites shows a revival of interest in the holiday that may have grown with the spread of the Internet, particularly in India, Bangladesh, and Malaysia.
Mobile phones, digital communication and social media have contributed to popularize the custom. Those who promote the holiday in South Asia attribute the tradition of dedicating a day in honour of friends to have originated in the United States in 1935, but India celebrates Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August. In Nepal, Friendship Day is celebrated on 30 July each year. In Oberlin, Ohio, Friendship Day is celebrated on 9 April each year.

Chapter 14 Verse 13
अप्रकाशोऽप्रवृत्तिश्च प्रमादो मोह एव च।
तमस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे कुरुनन्दन॥
Human beings suffer from various melodies when they fall prey to indifference and laziness. It leads to lack of focus, inability to perform one’s duties and unproductive deeds. This stage of weakened consciousness leads to confusion and sleepiness. (14.13)
हे अर्जुन! तमोगुण के बढ़ने पर अन्तःकरण और इंन्द्रियों में अप्रकाश, कर्तव्य-कर्मों में अप्रवृत्ति और प्रमाद अर्थात व्यर्थ चेष्टा और निद्रादि अन्तःकरण की मोहिनी वृत्तियाँ – ये सब ही उत्पन्न होते हैं ॥13॥
