Village Industries Commission

The Village Industries Commission (VIC) was an Indian government organization established in 1954 to promote small-scale industries in rural areas. Its goal was to create employment, boost local economies, and reduce rural-urban migration by supporting small factories, craft production, and village industries. VIC provided financial assistance, training, and technical support to entrepreneurs and artisans, encouraging sustainable development in villages. Over time, it played a key role in empowering rural communities and fostering economic growth at the grassroots level, contributing to the broader goal of rural development in India.
