Mumbai, Jul 28 (KNN) The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has put in public domain the 100 day agenda for itself under the Narendra Modi Government even as its governing body has been dissolved for reconstitution.

The 100 day action plan has been put on the website of KVIC after a lapse of 2 months- June and July.

Under the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) scheme, the target to be achieved in 100 days is that 60,000 applications have to be forwarded to Banks.

“As many as, 17,448 units have to be set up by involving M.M of Rs 318.46 crore and 10,000 persons to be trained. In August, the KVIC would be convening DLTFC meetings and forwarding of applications to banks,” according to its target.

Under the Scheme of Fund for Regeneration of Traditional Industries (SFURTI), the government has set a target of approval of fund by SFC KVIC for 10 clusters (3-Khadi and 7-Village Industries). Also, preparation of final proposal for 55 clusters as per revised guidelines is also the government’s target.

For its Capacity Building scheme, the government’s 100 days target is to provide training on Skill Development to 12,800 persons and conducting Entrepreneurship Awareness Programme for 9,300 prospective entrepreneurs in three months (June-August).

The government has dissolved the KVIC with effect from July 24 and all its members, including the chairman, will have to vacate their office with immediate effect. 

The decision to dissolve the KVIC is to make it more professionally competent, effective and efficient body for the development and promotion of Khadi and Village Industries and for generation of more employment opportunities in the rural non-farm sector," Ministry of MSME said in a statement last week.
