The unemployment growth rate in India was increasing with a rapid speed. To address this problem the development of the Khadi and Village Industries were important, Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) was established under the Khadi and Village Industries Commission Act, 1956. At present over 4.56 lakh people are engaged in their activities under KVIC, majority of them (over 70 percent) are women. In comparison to total unemployment in India the quantum of employment provided by these industries is low and overhead costs of providing the employment is very high, especially in the case of Khadi. The main problems of Khadi and Village Industries are scarcity of capital, marketing problems, competition from large scale industries, consumer unawareness, limited working hours of the Khadi bhandars, uneven quality and limited design patterns. This sector could be developed by addressing these problems and by creating awareness among consumers about the importance of KVIs.
