Khadi and Village Industries Commission

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) is an Indian government body established in 1957 to promote the development of khadi (handspun and woven cloth) and other village-based industries. Its main aim is to create employment opportunities in rural areas, enhance livelihoods, and support sustainable practices. KVIC encourages local craftsmanship and traditional skills while fostering entrepreneurship. By promoting products made through eco-friendly methods, the commission helps preserve cultural heritage and boosts the rural economy. Overall, KVIC plays a vital role in empowering rural communities and promoting self-reliance in India.
