KVIC Chief Vinai Kumar Saxena gets 3 Year Extension
NEW DELHI. Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) Chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena will continue to head the organisation for another three years. An official from the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) said September 6 that the Centre granted the extension to Saxena, the only person in the government from corporate side heading an autonomous body, with effect from September 5, 2019.
Saxena, first appointed KVIC Chairman in October 2015, explored untapped streams of Khadi and Village Industries and implemented many innovative schemes like 'Honey Mission', 'Kumhaar Sashaktikaran Scheme' and leather artisans development scheme, he said.
The official said it was his idea that resulted in Khadi's average jump of over 62 per cent in Khadi fabric production in the last five years -- from 105.38 million sq mt in 2014-15 to 170.80 million sq mt in 2018-19.
