It is formed to offer financial assistance to individuals who want to set up micro-enterprises related to traditional industrial sectors like khadi and village industries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial assistance is provided in the form of a subsidy. The subsidy amount varies as per the project cost. You are eligible for a subsidy of up to 35% if you live in urban areas. If you live in the rural areas, you can get a subsidy of up to 50%.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>KVIC ISEC<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>ISEC in KVIC ISEC stands for Interest Subsidy Eligibility Certificate. This scheme was launched by the government in May 1977 to assist institutions manufacturing khadi and polyvastra in acquiring funds from the banks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This scheme allows the beneficiary to get a loan at only 4% of interest rate. The difference between the actual interest rate charged by the banking institution and 4% is paid by KVIC. Due to this reason, it is referred to as Interest Subsidy Eligibility Certificate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>KVIC SFURTI&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>SFURTI stands for Scheme of Fund For Regeneration of Traditional Industries.

Out of the total grant, 40% of the benefit goes to the khadi-producing institution and 20% of the benefit is shared with the khadi-selling institution. Artisans are eligible for 30% of the benefit and the remaining 10% of the benefit goes to the volunteers or karyakartas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>KVIC KRDP<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>KRDP (Khadi Reform &amp; Development Program) was launched on 22nd December 2009 by the government.
