- (a): Ministry of MSME is implementing the following schemes/programmes all over the country through KVIC for sustainability of khadi and to improve income of spinners/weavers:

## i) Khadi Grant:

2. Workshed Scheme for Khadi Artisans for providing assistance for construction of worksheds.

- ii)  Market  Promotion  Development Assistance  (MPDA) is  a unified  scheme  by  merging  Market Development  Assistance,  Publicity,  Marketing  and  Market  Promotion.    A  new  component  for setting up of Marketing Complexes/Khadi Plazas has been added to expand the marketing network of Khadi & VI products. Under the Modified MDA (MMDA), financial assistance at 30% of the Prime  Cost,  is  distributed  amongst  Producing  Institutions  (40%),  Selling  Institutions  (20%)  and Artisans (40%).
- iii)  Interest  Subsidy  Eligibility  Certificate  (ISEC)  Scheme  provides  credit  at  concessional  rate  of interest through Banks in which the institutions are required to pay interest of only 4%, any interest charged by banks over 4% will be paid by the GoI through KVIC.
- iv) Khadi Reform and Development Programme (KRDP) has been implemented with the financial and  technical  assistance  of  Asian  Development  Bank  (ADB)  to  revitalize  the  khadi  sector  with enhanced  sustainability  of  khadi,  increased  incomes  and  employment  for  spinners  and  weavers, increased artisans' welfare and to achieve synergy with village industries.
