The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) is a statutory body established by an Act of Parliament (No. 61 of 1956, as amended by act no. 12 of 1987 and Act No.10 of 2006). In April 1957, it took over the work of former All India Khadi and Village Industries Board.
Its functions also comprise building up of a reserve of raw materials and implements for supply to producers, creation of common service facilities for processing of raw materials as semi-finished goods and provisions of facilities for marketing of KVI products apart from organisation of training of artisans engaged in these industries and encouragement of co-operative efforts amongst them. To promote the sale and marketing of khadi and/or products of village industries or handicrafts, the KVIC may forge linkages with established marketing agencies wherever feasible and necessary.
It is a matter of privilege for me to take over as the Chairman of Khadi Village Industries Commission at a time when the nation is celebrating the Amrit Festival of Independence on the call of Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, Khadi and Village Industries have played an important role not only in the freedom movement but in the seventy-five years since independence.
