at 5:42 pm

New Delhi (NVI): In the wake of novel coronavirus pandemic, the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises unit Khadi and Village Commission (KVIC) today started selling Khadi Face Masks online.

The widely popular Khadi Face Masks will now be available for online sale. This will benefit people in the remotest parts of the country particularly those who cannot afford to move out of their houses.

KVIC Chairman Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena said the online sale of Khadi face masks has been started so that people buy only genuine Khadi face masks. “Online sale of Khadi masks also aims at preventing buyers from any fraud,” adding, “Many online portals have been selling masks in the name of Khadi that are neither genuine Khadi fabric nor hand-made products”.

KVIC is selling both Khadi Cotton and Silk masks. While the Cotton face masks are priced nominally at Rs 30 per piece, the Silk masks are available for Rs 100 per piece. The minimum order for online purchase of masks is Rs 500, wherein buyers have the option of choosing from the four types of masks available.
