Khadi Village Industries Commission Act

The Khadi Village Industries Commission (KVIC) Act, established in 1956 in India, aims to promote and develop village industries and the production of khadi—handspun and handwoven cloth. It supports rural artisans by providing financial assistance, training, and marketing support to enhance their livelihoods. The KVIC plays a key role in preserving traditional crafts and promoting self-reliance in rural areas, while also contributing to national economic development and employment generation. Overall, it seeks to empower local communities by fostering sustainable and eco-friendly industries.
