KVI programmes help in arresting the migration of rural population to urban areas in search of employment opportunities. Khadi & Village Industries Sector is now playing a key role in the development or rural economy with an effective, efficient, flexible and innovative entrepreneurial spirit.
BV.Khadi is not only a fashion textile but also a textile of future, since it is a totally hand-woven and contains natural fibers, 100% eco-friendly and skin friendly textile, in this context a fashion show was organized in the State level exhibition to attract youth towards Khadi garments.

Mukhya Mantri Gramodyog Rojgar Yojna MMGRY (State Govt.)
BX.In the year 2015-16 tremendous thrust is given to the employment generation programme as it is one of the top priorities of the present government also. Present Government also gave a big jolt to Khadi production by making following two important declarations:-
Enhancement of Rebate days from 60 to 108.
Budget for pending Rebate claims.
BY.Khadi development Plan has been made with support of NIFT which will directly help to improve the living standard of poor Spinners & Weavers of the rural areas.
BZ.Similarly our Training centres are providing skill development & vocational Training to rural people, so that they could earn their livelihood, one new Training center will also be started in District Kushinagar in this year.
Sericulture
CA.Sericulture is an agro based industry. The pre-cocoon activity, which consists of host plant development and silkworm rearing being performed by the farmers which comes under the agriculture allied sector, whereas post-cocoon activities such as reeling, silk yarn processing like twisting, dying and weaving etc. come under cottage and small scale industries. The agro climatic conditions of U.P. are favourable for sericultural activities.
CB.With the advantage of its agro climatic conditions, U.P. is producing three types of silk viz. Mulberry, Tasar(Arjuna) and Eri(Castor) inter alia U.P. also produces world famous Varanasi Silk Sarees.
CC.Department of Sericulture, U.P. is committed to minimize the gap between production and consumption with its various plan schemes .
Strategy for Silk Production
CD.Although department of sericulture, U.P. has undertaken initiative to boost-up silk production in the State but due to paucity of funds and D-linked Catalytic Development Programme for Sericulture, a central Sponsered scheme of Central Silk Board,Govt. of India in the year 2015-16 So department has reorganised its State plan and introduce new schemes to achieve 272.90 MT by the end of Annual Plan 2016-17.
Goals
CE.Although the programme in which host plant development has been considered to produce 272.90 MT of raw silk by the end of Annual Plan 2016-17. To achieve the above targets for plugging the gap between demand and supply of silk yarn, the following goals shall be taken into consideration:-
Increase in employment generation
Increasing the income of farmers
Increase the sericulture cocoon productivity
Qualitative sericulture production
Self dependence in seed production and seed requirement
Priorities
Increase in area of host plants.
Introduction of high yielding host plant varieties through Government and Kisan Nurseries.
Initiation of Hi-tech sericulture.
Dissemination of improved technology and good practices through Extension.
Skill development.
Inter-departmental coordination particularly with the Forest department for Tasar Host Plant Development in forest areas.
Handloom
CF.The Handloom sector is the largest unorganized economic activity next only to agriculture .Handloom sector provides employment to people, belonging to socially and economically weaker sections, particularly in rural areas. The strength of handloom lies in innovative designs which can not be replicated by the Power Looms. Some of the excellent work of arts transformed on fabrics by the weavers is Brocades of Varanasi. As per the Handloom Census of 2009-10 conducted by Govt. of India, there are 80,000 Handlooms and 2,50,000 Handloom weavers reported in U.P. Handloom is a protected sector due to which the responsibility of state contribution becomes vital. There are problems of marketing the handloom products due to lack of effective strategy in place.
CG.The modern mechanism of advertising and marketing could be used to provide effective platform to handloom sector. The handloom sector should be encouraged to produce designs that reflect a blend of traditional culture and modern style. The determination of quality, its maintenance and promotion of sales of handloom products at the national and international level could be achieved with the formulation of effective policies and strategies. Handloom sector makes little demand on conventional sources of energy and has no adverse ecological effect. The handloom sector today may look small in terms of its tools and technology but it plays a pivotal role in our economy in terms of its employment potential. It is a natural productive asset and tradition at cottage level, which has sustained and grown by transfer of skill from one generation to the others.
Vision, Priorities, Goals and Targets 2016-17
CH.The vision for the next five year plan includes- enhancing the competitiveness of the Handloom Sector; providing the raw materials at the economical price to the weavers, ensuring the social security of the weavers; providing the adequate working capital for the handloom sector; improvement in the working conditions of the handloom weavers and improvement in the marketing infrastructure of the handloom sector.
CI.At present about 2,20,000 powerloom and 4,21,000 powerloom weaver’s are working in this state. The majority of the weaver’s population is constituted of minority sections of the society and every effort is being made for their welfare through various schemes run by the department. Besides this, the State assistance to schemes like- provision of independent feeder, Janeshwar Mishra powerloom industry development and powerloom promotion scheme for the scheduled castes is being increased in the proposed annual and five year plans. The schemes are focused on the -social security of the weavers; enhancing competitiveness of the sector; distribution of semi-automatic and automatic powerlooms to powerloom weavers of SC category, skill development; improvement in the marketing strategies for the handloom sector; and ensuring the healthy and conducive working environment to the weavers.
CJ.The future goals include- checking the drop-out rate of weavers in the handloom sector; increasing the contribution of handloom sector in the economic growth of the State and increasing and sustaining the employment in the sector. This is composite of both major and monitorable targets for the sector. The major targets are focused upon the revival of handloom sector. This will be achieved through skill development; promotion of handloom products through effective marketing strategies and infrastructure development in the handloom sector. On the other hand, monitorable targets include-production of handloom textile production; employment generation; provision of health facilities.
