To institutionalize the development of the Khadi and Village Industries sector, the Government of India first constituted the All India Khadi and Village Industries Board in 1953. This was followed by the enactment of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission Act, 1956 (No. 61 of 1956), which inter alia provides for the establishment of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) as a statutory body.

KVIC is entrusted with the responsibility to plan, promote, facilitate, organize, and assist in the establishment and development of Khadi and Village Industries in rural areas, in coordination with other agencies engaged in rural development.

In view of evolving market dynamics, technological advancements, and the need to further strengthen support systems, certain provisions of the KVIC Act, last amended in 2006, require updating. A comprehensive amendment is proposed to align the legislative framework with current sectoral needs and to enhance KVIC’s role as a facilitator of growth, innovation, and sustainable village industries.

To strengthen and modernize the Khadi and Village Industries sector, the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) in collaboration with MyGov invites citizens to share their views on the proposed Amendments to the Khadi and Village Industries Commission Act, 1956.

The Ministry of MSME is in the process of amending the KVIC Act, 1956. In this regard, this Ministry is being consulted by various central Ministries/Department. The amendments proposed in the KVIC Act, 1956, are based on the following three key pillars:
(a) Diversification and adoption of New Technology
(b) Formalization of Village Industries
(c) Inclusivity and Institutional Strengthening

(a) Diversification and Adoption of New Technology
(i) Make provision for the adoption of any emerging form of fabric in the KVI Sector.
(ii) Adoption of clean energy, like Solar energy, in Khadi production while retaining the sector's authenticity.

(b) Formalization of Village Industries
(i) Align the "Village Industry" definition with the micro-enterprise classification under the MSME Act, based on investment and turnover thresholds.
(ii) Update the Schedule of Village Industries to allow inclusion of emerging activities aligned with market trends, rural entrepreneurship, and technology-led enterprises.
(iii) To make provisions to facilitate Udyam Registration for village industries and align the Village Industries with the National Industrial Classification Code (NIC Code).

(c) Inclusivity and Institutional Strengthening
(i) To include representation of women, weaker sections (SC/ST/OBC) and contemporary expertise in the Commission’s composition
(ii) To open up the Khadi Sector for new entities.
(iii) To include the rule making power in the functions of the Commission.

पहले खादी को सिर्फ गरीब लोगों की पोषाक माना जाता रहा है। लेकिन अब खादी सर्वहारा वर्ग का हिस्सा बन गई है। हर आय वर्ग की पसन्द का और हर किस्म का सामान मिलता है। खादी अब फैशन स्टेटमेंट बन गई है

6. International and national fashion shows can be organised to give boost to khadi demand. 7. By providing different products to different villages we can make a more efficient interdependent khadi industry. 8. Villages should be trained for very specific products and machines. do not burden them with excessive knowledge. 9. Engineers or MBA graduates can be assigned to run khadi villages more like industries. 10. International exposure should be considered by including khadi products in official gifts to counterparts of various countries.

Hii everyone myself Aditi Gupta so well i am going to discuss some positive as well as negative features of this campaign recently launched by the indian gov. introduction The Indian government has recently launched a new campaign proposing amendments to the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) Act, 1956. The aim is to modernize rural industries, increase employment, and promote sustainable development through Khadi and village-based products. However, opinions are divided — some view it as a progressive step, while others worry about its long-term effects on traditional practices. Side 1: In Favour 1. Modernization and Growth: The amendments will help KVIC adopt modern technologies and marketing strategies, making Khadi products more competitive in both domestic and international markets. 2. Employment Generation: By expanding the scope of village industries, the amendments can create new job opportunities for rural youth and artisans. Thank you

I support the initiative to modernize the Khadi and Village Industries sector. I recommend stronger incentives for adopting solar and green technologies, skill development programs for rural artisans, and better market linkage through digital platforms and e-commerce. This will promote sustainability and empower rural entrepreneurs under the MSME ecosystem.

खादी ग्रामोद्योग बोर्ड की अब आवश्यकता नहीं है।यह विभाग व्यवहारिक तौर पर सफल नहीं है। खादी के शौकीन भी अब नहीं बचे। बदलते परिवेश में सूती काटन कपड़े,लीनन जैसे कपड़े चलन में हैं। खादी भारी होता है एवं धुलाई व प्रेस करने में दिक्कत होती है। खादी हैण्लूम का व्यापार दिनों-दिन गिर रहा है। सब्सिडी के नाम पर संस्थाएं अपनी दुकान चला रहे हैं। खासतौर पर उत्तर प्रदेश में खादी ग्रामोद्योग बोर्ड आयोग की अब आवश्यकता नहीं है।
