KVIC gets purchase order worth Rs 2 crore

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has announced that it will supply as many as 15,000 khadi yoga kits to Indian missions abroad. The purchase order is worth Rs 2.63 crore.

Last year, KVIC started to offer Khadi yoga kits, designed by the National Institute of Design. 

Vinai Kumar Saxena, Chairman, KVIC, said, "It is the biggest order for any organisation dealing with yoga kits. Khadi has ‘zero carbon’ footprint, environment-friendly, swadeshi products."

He said, the mega order has been placed by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR).
