The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has played a pivptall role in advancing the Indian economy. Before independence, its contributions were informal and unstructured, whereas, in the post-independence era, it has functioned in an organized and systematic manner. Established as a statutory body in 1956 under an Act of Parliament, KVIC began operations in 1957 as the apex national organization for promoting Khadi and Village Industries in rural areas. It took over the responsibilities of the All India Khadi and Village Industries Board and has since operated as a premier institution committed to generating employment opportunities in rural regions through the production of Khadi and Village Industries. KVIC aims to provide financial support to rural artisans, helping them preserve and develop their skills to produce marketable goods and services, thereby contributing to household income. Since its inception, KVIC has been dedicated to fostering rural development across India.
