During the session of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) held at Bezwada (Vijayawada) in March 1921, it was resolved to achieve three goals within three months: enroll one crore members in the Congress, collect one crore rupees for the Tilak Swaraj Fund, and distribute 20 lakh charkhas. This decision significantly boosted the Khadi movement and the wide-scale popularization of the charkha.

The resolution at Bezwada was part of the preparatory phase for the Non-Cooperation Movement, emphasizing self-reliance and boycott of foreign goods through the promotion of Khadi and village industries.

Mahatma Gandhi actively promoted the charkha as a symbol of swadeshi (self-sufficiency) and an instrument for economic upliftment of the masses.
