India is one of the largest producers of cotton in the world. The textile industry, largely based on cotton, is one of the largest employment sectors in India. Cotton is not just a fabric in India—it is woven into the essence of the country's history, traditions, and economy. It symbolizes heritage, self-reliance, and the deep connection between culture and sustainability.
