The Khadi and Village Industries Commission on Friday said it has appointed Sunil Sethi, Chairman of the Fashion Design Council of India, as its Advisor. 

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) on Friday said it has appointed Sunil Sethi, Chairman of the Fashion Design Council of India, as its Advisor.  “Sethi will advise the Commission on latest design interventions in the readymade garments segment as well as promotion of Khadi in India and abroad,” the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) stated.

Sethi comes with over four decades of experience in global merchandising, where he has contributed significantly to the growth of Indian handicrafts, design and the textile industry, through many innovative and successful initiatives, it added.  “Sustainable growth of Khadi in the fashion industry, both locally and internationally, is the key idea behind the appointment. KVIC has already marked its advent on the global platform and from here on we must capitalize on every opportunity. “Khadi artisans are capable of producing the finest quality and the most unique fabric in the world and with the newest design innovations, Khadi can be a favourite of a vast global consumer segment,” KVIC Chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena said.
