“The spirit of the khadi means to get along with everyone in the world” Mahatma Gandhi. Handspun fabric and hand woven, Khadi became a tool to gather people and unite them at the order of Mahatma Gandhi thousands of people made collections to make Khadi fabric and wear comfortable Khadi. Many such legal entities became institutions that continued to be accredited by the Khadi Village and Industries Commission (KVIC) from 1957 onwards. These Card Centers are the custodians of the Card Asset.
With the desire to move with Khadi to a new location, a Center for Exploration, Innovation and Design has been established by the MSME Department of Khadi Village and Industries Commission to empower Khadi Institutions. The center aspires to design clothing, home and fashion accessories that appeal to people from generation to generation. The khadi Center of Excellence is committed to making the khadi a universal, classic and value-driven product.
Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises Union Shri Narayan Rane will launch the first khadi Performance Center on 11 May 2022 in New Delhi. The event will be attended by the presence of MSME Minister of State Shri Bhanu Pratap Singh Verma, Minister of Fabrics Smt Darshana Vikram Jardosh, Secretary, Fabrics Department Shri U P Singh and Secretary, MSME Department Shri B.B Swain.
Khadi Center of Excellence is set up at the National Institute of Fashion Technology as a center in Delhi and speaks in Bangalore, Gandhinagar, Kolkata and Shillong. The aim is to design clothing, home furniture and human resources for all generations and to create design processes that reflect world-class quality, design, and sales.
The Khadi Center of Excellence is in the process of developing the Information Portfolio so that the Khadi can distribute design guidelines to reach all of the Card Centers.
