Gadkari becomes the brand ambassador of Khadi Prakritik Paint.
MSME Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday said that he will be the brand ambassador of Khadi Prakritik Paint and will promote it across the country to encourage young entrepreneurs to manufacture paints from cow dung. Inaugurating the new automatic manufacturing unit of Khadi Natural Paint ‘online’ in Jaipur, he said that it will prove to be important in empowering rural and agro based economy in the country.
The ministry said in a statement that this is the first paint manufacturing plant in the country to be made from cow dung. “Inauguration of infrastructure projects worth lakhs of crores of rupees is not as pleasant and satisfying as inaugurating this manufacturing unit,” Gadkari was quoted as saying in the statement. There is huge potential for sustainable development for the benefit of the poor and we should aim to set up at least one natural paint unit in every village.
