KVIC

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission, commonly known as KVIC, is a statutory body established by an Act of Parliament, the Khadi and Village Industries Commission Act of 1956. It functions under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises of the Government of India. KVIC is tasked with planning, promoting, facilitating, and organizing the development of Khadi and other village industries in the rural areas, in collaboration with other agencies. Its primary objective is to generate employment in rural areas and to produce saleable articles from the produce of these industries.

KVIC plays a crucial role in the promotion of traditional Indian crafts and industries. It supports artisans and entrepreneurs by providing financial assistance, technical expertise, marketing support, and training. The organization focuses on a wide range of village industries, including food processing, handicrafts, textiles, and rural engineering. By nurturing these sectors, KVIC aims to foster self-reliance among rural communities, enhance their economic independence, and preserve India's rich cultural heritage. Its initiatives often involve empowering women and marginalized groups, contributing to inclusive rural development.
