Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) to promote the Khadi textile globally has shipped a consignment of Khadi products to Trinidad & Tobago.
 

KVIC delivered the products to the Indian High Commission which will undertake promotional activities in Trinidad & Tobago by giving away khadi product to dignitaries in the two countries.
 
KVIC has sent out products like Khadi face towels in paperboard packing and 150 boxes of Khadi face towels in wooden box packing.

Commenting on the promotional activity, KVIC Chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena, said, “Keeping in view a large number of population of Indian origin and initiative of prime minister Modi to popularize Khadi globally, we decided to facilitate Indians by offering them Khadi angvastram.”
 
“To keep future prospects of Khadi marketing on, KVIC has also decided to participate in the nine days’ Diwali festival fair during November 2018 in Trinidad and Tobago. It will create awareness about Khadi among the people and also helpful in identifying potential buyers,” Saxena added.
 
Sale of khadi and village industries products in India had increased to ₹59,098 crore in 2017-18 over ₹52,138 crore in 2016-17. KVIC is now looking to tap the international markets for future growth.
 
Last month, the Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu had announced at a conclave that the Union Government will promote the Khadi textile globally as it has the power to boost India’s economy.
