The village industries produce, or Gramodyog, grew by 24% in the fiscal year 2016-17, with Khadi products sales growing by 33 percent to reach Rs. 2005 crore during the same period. The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has now set a target of more than doubling khadi sales to Rs 5,000 crore by 2018-19.
The Government has done its bit in promoting the Khadi industry. With institutions like IIM Rohtak joining the bid, it seems Khadi’s popularity is set to gain further.
