THE KHADI AND VILLAGE INDUSTRIES COMMISSION (KVIC)

• The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) is a statutory body created by an Act of Parliament (No.61 of 1956 and as amended by Act No. 12 of 1987). Established in April 1957, it took over the work of the former All India Khadi and Village Industries Board. The broad objectives that the KVIC has set before it are :
  • The social objective of providing employment,
  • The economic objective of producing saleable articles, and
  • The wider objective of creating self-reliance amongst the poor and building up of a strong rural community spirit.
• The KVIC is charged with the planning, promotion, organisation and implementation of programs for the development of khadi and other village industries in the rural areas in coordination with other agencies engaged in rural development wherever necessary.
