Corporate197838 sections

The Sikkim Khadi and Village Industries Board Act, 1978 establishes a statutory corporate board to plan, organize, promote, and regulate khadi and village industries within the state of Sikkim. Operating under the guidance of the national Khadi and Village Industries Commission, the Board provides financial assistance, loans, raw materials, technical training, and modern equipment to rural artisans and cooperative societies. It also facilitates publicity, research, and marketing for local hand-spun textiles and village-made goods. This legislation matters because it empowers local self-reliance, promotes rural employment, preserves traditional craftsmanship, and supports socio-economic development across non-urban communities in Sikkim.
