New Delhi, May 26: Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a fashion statement at the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan, where he showcased his commitment to sustainability. While visiting the Peace Memorial Museum and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park to unveil the Mahatma Gandhi bust statue, PM Modi was seen wearing a beige sleeveless jacket made from recycled materials.

PM Modi's emphasis on sustainable fashion and support for local goods has gained momentum since he assumed office in 2014. His advocacy for khadi, a sustainable fabric deeply rooted in India's freedom struggle, goes beyond rhetoric.

Narendra Modi's sartorial choices serve as inspiration for embracing sustainable fashion, emphasizing the urgent need for eco-consciousness in the industry.
