Corporate19975 sections

The Andhra Pradesh Khadi and Village Industries Board (Amendment) Act, 1997 modifies the existing 1959 framework governing the administration of village industries within the state. The legislation updates rules concerning the appointment of board members, organizational leadership, and staff procedures, replacing a temporary ordinance issued earlier that year. It applies directly to the state's Khadi and Village Industries Board, its officials, and rural cottage industry workers. By refining administrative structures and operational governance, this Act matters because it strengthens state support, oversight, and management for traditional artisans, promoting sustainable rural livelihoods across Andhra Pradesh.
