Addressing the media, KVIC Chairman Mr. Manoj Kumar said “The Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, once said, ‘I see God in every thread drawn by the spinning wheel.
’ Embracing this philosophy, KVIC, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, is organizing various programmess like sales campaigns, exhibitions, and national and international fairs to boost Khadi artisans’ income, which has played a significant role .
