NEW DELHI, JUNE 12, 2024: WITH the formation of the 'Modi Government' for the third time at the Center, the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises has once again increased the pace of delivering government schemes to the beneficiaries.

In a statement, Chairman KVIC  congratulated Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi on behalf of 'Khadi Parivar' for becoming the Prime Minister for the third time and said that the distribution of subsidy of Rs 299.25 Crore directly in the accounts of beneficiaries by KVIC on the very next day of swearing-in is an indication that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, government schemes will now be delivered to the public at double speed.

Manoj Kumar informed that as per the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to achieve the goal of 'Developed India' by the year 2047, KVIC is working on a plan to strengthen 'Khadi Gram Swaraj Abhiyan' in every village. All preparations have been made to take Khadi from local to global. Along with this, Prime Ministers' Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) is also being expanded to increase the quality and reach of products related to village industry. In this sequence, KVIC has distributed Rs 299.25 Crore in the accounts of 7444 beneficiaries of all its 6 zones through online medium.

From the start of PMEGP scheme till the last financial year, 9.40 lakh new projects have been set up in the country, which has provided employment to more than 81.48 lakh new people.

Under this scheme, a grant of 15% to 25% is given to general category candidates and 25% to 35% to reserved category candidates by the Government of India.

Manoj Kumar emphasized that the guarantee of Modi Government has made Khadi and Village Industry products popular globally. In the last 10 years, 'New Khadi of New India ' has given a new direction to the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan' . As a result, more than four times the sales of Khadi products have been recorded in this period. With the increase in production and sales of Khadi, artisans of rural India have become economically prosperous. The increase of more than 233 percent in the remuneration of artisans in the last 10 years has attracted artisans towards Khadi work, while the 'Vocal for Local' and 'Make in India' mantra has made Khadi popular among the youth. KVIC officers and employees were present in the programme.
