Weaving Magic
The KVIC is a statutory body established in 1956 by an Act of Parliament, and is charged with the planning, promotion, organisation and implementation of programmes for the development of khadi and other village industries in India's rural areas in coordination with other agencies engaged in rural development wherever necessary. Khadi is a hand-spun and woven natural fibre cloth promoted by Mohandas K Gandhi as swadeshi (self-sufficiency) for the freedom struggle of the Indian subcontinent.
