Corporate200642 sections

This law establishes the Gujarat State Khadi and Village Industries Board to promote the production of hand-spun cloth and other small-scale industries in rural areas. It applies to the entire state of Gujarat and defines what counts as khadi or a village industry, focusing on small investments and local production. The Act matters because it aims to support rural artisans, create employment opportunities, and foster economic development in villages by providing a legal framework for these traditional and small-scale sectors to thrive and become self-sufficient.
