There has been no interference on the part of the Government, especially the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises in the day to day work of Khadi & Village Industries Commission (KVIC), for that matter any organisation under it, as this will impede the smooth functioning of that organisation.
This was stated by Shri Mahabir Prasad, Union Minister for Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises at the closing ceremony of the Golden Jubilee Celebration function of KVIC.
Shri Prasad said the Government has given priority to addressing infrastructure and basic needs of rural people through creation of sustainable employment opportunities, exploitation of local resources, increasing production and offering opportunities to all for employment in the service of the community.
KVIC as a part of its commitment to rural industrialization has been assessing rural resources, augmenting deficient resources and formulating plans, programs and schemes for the most effective and balanced utilisation of these parameters and determining priorities, the Minister added.
Shri Prasad further stated that from a highly centralised urban planning system, the Indian economy is gradually moving towards the rural sector and it is here that the KVIC concerns itself with the building of a long term strategic vision of the future rural strategy and decide on priorities of the rural sector.
KVIC has been working out sectoral strategy for providing promotional stimulus to the rural economy to grow in the desired direction.
