Sales Outlets

The Board is running sales outlets viz- “Khadi Kraft’’ at Kuralagam building in Chennai and in other districts to facilitate marketing of Khadi and Village Industries products produced by the various units of the Board. In addition to the items produced by the Board’s production units, the handicrafts items produced by Self-Help Groups and traditional artisans are also being sold through 48 Khadi Krafts outlets.

Special emphasis is given to popularize the sale of Khadi and Village Industries products by conducting exhibition and special campaigns in Government office campus. The annual Navarathiri doll Kolu exhibition being held every year during Navarathiri festival season in Kuralagam Khadi Kraft at Chennai is very popular. It acts as an effective platform for marketing the traditional and contemporary paper mache doll produced by the potters.
