FUTURE PLANS WILL STRENGTHEN

VOCAL FOR LOCAL

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Indian Khadi is ready for a global
revolution. Moving forward with the mantra of 'Khadi for Nation, Khadi for Fashion and Khadi for
Transformation', Khadi's journey to becoming a symbol of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat is proof of its
lasting importance. With the slogan of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas', the schemes and programs
being run in the growing nation are promoting 'Vocal for Local'. While KVIC is running many
schemes to promote the Khadi and Village Industries sector, it is also preparing to launch many
ambitious schemes. Gramin Silai Samridhi Yojana was launched on 17 September 2024 on the
birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Porbandar, Gujarat, the birthplace of the Father
of the Nation. At the same time, work is also going on at a fast pace to start the Kushal Karigar
Vikas Yojana, Khadi Shakti, Lotus Silk, and Mati Kala Kumhar Sashaktikaran Yojana.
