The Odra Foundation and designer Manish Tripathi, in collaboration with Uttar Pradesh Khadi & Village Industries Board (UPKVIB), are on a mission to make the World’s Largest Mask, a Guinness World Record attempt.
The team is collecting the fabric for the mask from 10 different states, covering 10,000 kilometers. UPKVIB has also handed over 2 meters of the Khadi cloth from each of 75 districts. The collected cloth will be sewn together to make the mask measuring more than 100 sq. meters to beat the present world record of 72.29 sq. meters.
The raw material used for making the mask will subsequently be upcycled to make alternate products with the Self Help Groups which will be provided forward linkage to the market. The endeavour is in consonance with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mantra of ‘Khadi for Nation, Khadi for fashion’ and his vision of a self-reliant India and would contribute to the national movement of ‘Vocal For Local’ and ‘Aatma Nirbhar Bharat’.
