KVIC to launch ‘e-charkha’

Ludhiana: The Khadi and Village Industries Commission of India (KVIC) would launch an “e-charkha” on November 19, the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

‘Boon for spinners’

“The charkha will be a boon to the spinners of the KVI sector who would be able to experience the fusion of economic activity with the pleasure of music while working on the e-charkha,” KVIC Chairperson Kumudben Joshi told reporters here on Saturday.

Electricity generation

The e-charkha would generate electricity that could be stored for working of radio and domestic lights, she said.

Ms. Joshi said in reply to a question that KVIC has sanctioned three projects in the state — a khadi cluster in Amritsar, a phulkari cluster in Patiala and a handicraft cluster in Hoshiarpur district which would be implemented in the current financial year. — PTI
