Brief Overview: KVIC
At KVIC, we firmly believe in the principle: “Don’t just seek a job—become a job creator.” Our Entrepreneurship Generation Program aims to empower individuals, particularly youth and women, to launch their own enterprises.
The PMEGP Program is a powerful enabler in this direction. It provides up to 35% subsidy on projects worth up to ₹50 lakhs, with more than 350 government schemes available for employment generation.
Yet, awareness remains low. At KVIC alone, we have 40–50 such schemes—benefitting 70% rural and 30% urban populations.
The process here is simple:
We raise awareness among rural communities.
Assist with loan documentation and bank linkages.
Facilitate project setup at the local level.
This model ensures that raw materials, labor, and production facilities remain in rural areas, lowering costs, reducing urban migration, and fostering social equity.
It has implemented projects even in challenging areas like Naxalite-affected Some Maharashtra districts, proving that with the right support, enterprises can flourish anywhere.
Its work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, achieving progress in poverty reduction, women empowerment, decent work, responsible consumption, and climate action.
Khadi itself has undergone a transformation—from “Khadi for Nation” to “Khadi for Fashion” and now “Khadi for Transformation.” Today, it is a fashion statement embraced by the younger generation, with sales crossing ₹1,70,000 crores over the last decade.
As Mahatma Gandhi said, Khadi is not just fabric—it is a movement. And with the support of the Honorable Prime Minister, its reach and impact continue to grow, empowering millions across India.
