The Andaman and Nicobar Islands Khadi and Village Industries Board Regulation 1988 establishes and governs a dedicated statutory board to promote and develop khadi and village industries within the Union Territory. It applies to local artisans, rural entrepreneurs, board officials, and administrative authorities across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The regulation outlines the board's constitution, appointment of key officers including the chairman and financial adviser, meeting rules, and operational guidelines. This law matters because it creates an organized framework to generate rural employment, preserve traditional cottage industries, and drive sustainable economic self-reliance throughout the island region.
