KVIC is the statutory organization established in 1956 to promote and develop khadi and village industries in India. Its objectives are to provide employment in rural areas, produce saleable goods, and promote self-reliance. KVIC functions include planning training, assisting in infrastructure and marketing, and ensuring quality standards. It is organized with a head office, zonal offices, state offices, and training centers. Major schemes implemented include PMEGP, interest subsidies, product development, and insurance for artisans. New initiatives focus on improving productivity, strengthening institutions, and glamorizing traditional khadi fabric.
Rural areas are separately settled places away from large cities characterized by lower population density and engagement in primary industries like agriculture. A rural community has a sense of unity and religion plays an important role in village life. Rural lifestyles differ from urban ones in having limited services, public transport, and utilities. Rural development aims to improve the economic and social conditions of rural poor through collective efforts and generation of employment in farm, storage, and other economic activities while also developing infrastructure, health, education, and living conditions. It faces various challenges including traditional mindsets, lack of education, inadequate infrastructure, and economic and leadership problems. Rural development is important for India to develop rural areas holistically and empower communities.
On September 25, 2015, 193 Heads of State at the United Nations General Assembly set up a collection of 17 goals known as The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or simply Global Goals.
The SDGs and their 169 targets form the core of Resolution 70/1 of the United Nations, which is a breakthrough agreement called AGENDA 2030. The goals are to be achieved by all member states by year 2030.
They are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The goals are broad, interdependent and cover social, economic and social issues and making them work is everyone’s responsibility.
The following slides present a brief overview of the goals.
This document discusses concepts related to sustainable development including definitions from organizations like the Brundtland Commission. It outlines the need for sustainable development to meet basic human needs, address climate change, and ensure financial stability. Education is presented as key to promoting sustainable development. Philosophies of sustainability are grouped into three conceptions. Gandhian thought emphasizes self-reliance, local production, non-possession, and voluntary simplicity. Social and equitable frameworks are discussed in the context of business. Criticisms of sustainable development include issues with growth, efficiency, and meeting future generations' needs. Stakeholder roles and powers are defined, and managing sustainability opportunities and risks for business is addressed.
This document outlines a strategy for improving rural livelihoods through a paradigm shift in production and marketing. It proposes forming thematic self-help groups (T-SHGs) focused on a common livelihood theme. These T-SHGs would come together into a federation for collective bargaining. The federation would link with a producers' company to access infrastructure, achieve economies of scale in production and quality, and connect to urban markets. This end-to-end model provides resources, training, market access, and financial services to lift small producers out of poverty by placing them higher in the value chain.
The document discusses the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the UN in 2015 to be achieved by 2030. The SDGs include goals to end poverty and hunger, ensure health and well-being, provide quality education, achieve gender equality, and promote sustainable industry and infrastructure. Progress will be assessed in 2020, 2025, and 2030. The SDGs replace the Millennium Development Goals and apply universally to all countries.
The document discusses the gig economy. It defines the gig economy as relying on temporary and part-time independent contractors rather than permanent employees.

It also discusses characteristics of the gig economy like flexibility and innovation as well as cons around job security. Finally, it notes the large impact of COVID-19 on gig workers' finances and employment.
Entrepreneurial vs. Managerial Approach & Emergence of Entrepreneurshipudayjoshi35
The meaning of entrepreneurship involves an entrepreneur who takes action to make a change in the world. Whether start-up entrepreneurs solve a problem that many struggle with each day, bring people together in a way no one has before, or build something revolutionary that advances society, they all have one thing in common: action.
A manager, on the other hand, is not an owner of an enterprise. Instead, he is the one that is responsible for the management and administration of a group of people or a department of the organization. His day to day job is to manage his employees and ensure the organization runs smoothly.
A manager must possess some of the same.

Start up process of small industrial unitHoney Jangra
Small scale industries are labor intensive and require low capital. They produce goods using small machines, hired labor, and power. Setting up a small scale industry involves idea generation, environmental analysis, product selection, organization selection, report preparation, securing a location, arranging finances, provisional registration, acquiring machinery and technology, applying for utilities, hiring and training workers, installation, procurement, production, marketing, and permanent registration to generate profits.
This document discusses agricultural transformation and rural development. It begins by quoting several experts emphasizing the importance of agriculture for economic development. It then provides statistics on rural populations in developing regions.

Cluster development aims to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of small and medium enterprises through economies of scale. India has over 350,000 small enterprises clustered in sectors like textiles, metals, food processing and others. Clusters provide opportunities for mutual learning, knowledge sharing and access to common facilities. However, clusters require state intervention for long-term sustainability since benefits may not be immediately visible. The Ministry of Small Scale Industries initiates various programs to promote technology upgrades, access to finance, skills and market linkages for clusters across India.
Globalization is a complex phenomenon with arguments on both sides. Proponents argue that globalization leads to more efficient use of resources and economic growth that benefits all involved. However, critics argue that globalization threatens jobs and wages as companies outsource work overseas, and that it could undermine national sovereignty as corporations gain more power. Overall, there are reasonable perspectives on both sides of this complex issue with reasonable arguments that globalization may have both benefits and drawbacks.
NGOs play an important role in rural development by filling gaps left by governments and helping communities through activities like literacy programs, healthcare, marketing local products, and advocacy. They work at the grassroots level on specific issues and projects, but sometimes lack coordination, transparency, and long-term funding. Effective NGOs collaborate with governments and local institutions to advance community interests through community involvement, tailored development programs, and holding stakeholders accountable.

About 70 percent of the global poor aged 15 and over have no schooling or only some basic education. Impact sourcing reaches into those populations with opportunities for enduring, meaningful careers that foster hope. If someone has the will, we will teach them the skills.

Job creation
1.
2. A solution to the Job Creation goal
Current Situation
• In today’s world of globalization and
technology, it has become difficult to
create and sustain jobs.
• It is becoming cheaper for developed
countries:
– to import commodity needs from other parts of
the world or
– have them be manufactured in lower wage
countries such as Mexico or Brazil.
3. A solution to the Job Creation goal
Reality
• Machinery is replacing labour in the
workplace as they do not sleep, take
leave, stay away, strike or ask for
increases.
• Machines work 24 hours per day 7 days
per week 365 days per year non stop.
• Machines are more efficient and reliable
than humans, hence companies are
starting to evaluate the reduction of staff
more seriously.
4. A solution to the Job Creation goal
Reality
• The recent global economic collapse led
to large scale job losses.
• The economic recovery will not result in all
these people getting jobs again.
• These factors when all put together, are
driving increases in our already high
unemployment rate in SA.
• The Eastern Cape is the worst affected
region
6. A solution to the Job Creation goal
Future employment challenges
• Companies are actively recruiting
people:
• with a degree or a diploma and

practical experience
• By implementing our projects:
• jobs will be created and
• people will be employed
7. A solution to the Job Creation goal

• Government,
• Unions and
• Service providers.
• The Government designed, developed and
implemented the most powerful Act in South African
history, to overcome this problem:
The Skills Development Act.
17. A solution to the Job Creation goal
Challenges
• Red tape and bureaucracy have created
obstacles which are destroying its
potential.
• This is affecting the unemployed people.

due to all the red tape and paper work.
