KVIC Signs MoU with ITBP for Supply of 1,72,000 Cotton Durries Every Year

Khadi and Village Industries Commission today signed MoU with Indo-Tibetan Border Police, ITBP for the supply of 1,72,000 cotton durries every year. The total value of these durries is eight crores 74 lakh. 

The agreement has been signed for one year which will be renewed thereafter. The development comes after Home Minister Amit Shah gave instructions to the paramilitary forces



to encourage local products to support the Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan.

 

The cotton durries will be produced by Khadi artisans in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab. KVIC Chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena has termed the development as historic saying this will not only encourage the use of Swadeshi products in our forces but also create large-scale additional employment for Khadi artisans.
