Delhi Revives Village Industries with Stakeholder Dialogue
Delhi is trying to help small businesses and artisans.
The government held a meeting to figure out how to bring back old-fashioned village industries.
They want to help people learn new skills and start their own businesses, especially in crafts and food.
They are giving the Delhi Khadi and Village Industries Board (DKVIB) a lot of money to make this happen.
This plan is part of a bigger idea to make Delhi's economy stronger and more self-sufficient, supporting local businesses and jobs.
Delhi's Industries Minister, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, led a stakeholder dialogue to revive village industries.
The consultation aimed to identify ways to revitalize the Delhi Khadi and Village Industries Board (DKVIB).
The Delhi government has allocated ₹50 crore in the 2025-26 budget for DKVIB's revival.
The revival aligns with the 'Vocal for Local' initiative and aims to boost self-reliance.
DKVIB will launch skill-building workshops in crafts, textiles, and food processing.
