JAMMU: Khadi and Village Industries hold a prominent position in the preservation and promotion of traditional arts, crafts, and cultural heritage in the region of Jammu and Kashmir. With a focus on sustainability and environmental friendliness, efforts are being made to ensure the longevity of these industries. The Jammu and Kashmir Khadi & Village Industries Board (J&K KVIB) plays a pivotal role in encouraging eco-friendly practices and minimizing the environmental impact of production processes. By adopting such practices, the board aims to ensure the sustainability of these industries.
The significance of Khadi and Village Industries extends beyond cultural preservation; they also contribute to the economic development and empowerment of rural communities not just in Jammu and Kashmir but throughout India. These sectors play vital roles in various areas, including employment generation, rural entrepreneurship, the preservation of traditional crafts and heritage, and sustainable development.
During an exclusive online interview with Ajmer Alam Wani, Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor (www.jkmonitor.org), Dr. Hina Shafi Bhat, a BJP leader and Vice Chairperson of J&K KVIB, emphasized the Board's commitment to realizing the full potential of these industries. Collaboration with relevant stakeholders, such as banks and Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), ensures adequate support in terms of credit access, training and skill development programs, marketing assistance, and infrastructure development. These efforts aim to foster economic growth, social empowerment, and the preservation of rich cultural heritage for rural communities in Jammu and Kashmir.
