India is predominantly a nation with villages and the bulk of the population lives in rural areas or villages. The rural production of the Khadi and village industry is a systematic phenomenon in India. It is defined based on different parameters and the meanings of the sources of evolving government policy and economic conditions have been updated from time to time.  The word small scale industry (SSI) was intended to describe the village base and/or village khadi industry and handicraft production prior to independence. The differentiation between small-scale industry and village industry was made during the First Five Year Plan due to the lack of policies on khadi and village industry. Even after numerous deficiencies in the strategy proposal, weak facilities, insufficient preparation, incomplete credit service, higher sickness incidence and many more, the Khadi and village industry has now acquired a reputable rest in India’s socioeconomic contribution. The purpose of this research paper is to address the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) programme, as well as to examine KVIC’s contribution to employment, production and sales. We have also clarified the policy or approach used by the government for the growth of the Khadi and village industry in India in this article.
