The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on Tuesday approved the continuation of Khadi and Gramodyog Vikas Yojanas at a total cost of Rs 2,800 crore for the period 2017-18 to 2019-20.
As part of a rationalisation exercise, the government has merged eight different schemes of khadi and village industries under 2 umbrella heads -- 'Khadi Vikas Yojana' and 'Gramodyog Vikas Yojana' -- both of which will continue for this period.
Additionally, the CCEA decided to bring in a new component of "Rozgar Yukt Gaon" to introduce enterprise-based operation in the Khadi sector and to create employment opportunities for thousands of new artisans in the current and next financial year.
