NEW DELHI: The Tribal Affairs Ministry will sign a pact with the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) to purchase Khadi fabric worth Rs 14.7 crore for tribal students, according to a statement issued on Monday.
Under the pact to be signed on Tuesday, the ministry will procure over six lakh meters of Khadi fabric in 2020-21 for the students of the Eklavya residential schools run by it. "As the government increases the number of Eklavya schools every year, the purchase of Khadi fabric will also increase proportionally," the statement said.
