“On Wednesday, KVIC Chairman Manoj Kumar visited the Khadi India Pavilion and interacted with Khadi artisans from various states, entrepreneurs associated with the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP), and representatives from SFURTI clusters,” the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises said on Friday.
He engaged with them on their products, experiences, and innovations, and appreciated their contribution to strengthening India’s rural economy.
Encouraging artisans and entrepreneurs, the Chairman urged them to continue supporting the Government of India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Vocal for Local campaigns.
Speaking to media persons, Manoj Kumar said the Khadi India Pavilion has been thoughtfully designed in alignment with the Prime Minister’s vision of “Har Ghar Swadeshi, Ghar Ghar Swadeshi” and “Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat.”
A total of 150 stalls have been set up, enabling the participation of Khadi artisans from Khadi institutions, PMEGP units, and SFURTI clusters across the country. The stalls offer an impressive display of traditional handicrafts, Khadi, and village industry products.
During his visit, Manoj Kumar observed live demonstrations of indigenous charkhas, the peti charkha, the electric pottery wheel, and traditional ghani-based oil extraction, reflecting India’s rich heritage of craftsmanship and sustainable production practices.
