Nearly 14.75 lakh people got job opportunities at their doorsteps under the NDA governance through 194,000 small and medium projects, says the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC).

Kumar Saxena who is the chairman of the commission said that record sales worth Rs. 520 billion were recorded in FY17 in the khadi and village industries. He lauded PM Narendra Modi’s decision to digitize the PMEGP scheme, saying that it increased transparency and efficiency in the system.
