The Charkha, a simple spinning wheel, symbolizes self-reliance, non-violence, and dignity of labor in India's history. During the freedom struggle, it embodied resistance to colonial exploitation and promoted indigenous production. Beyond symbolism, it sustained rural livelihoods, empowered women, and preserved traditional skills through cottage industries. Even a few decades ago, spinning and weaving supported household incomes and community resilience. Today, industrialization has reduced its practical role, yet the Charkha remains a cultural emblem of sustainability and eco-friendly living. Revived through Khadi institutions, government initiatives, and sustainable development programs, it continues to offer pathways for rural empowerment and inclusive growth.
