Potters, mainly from Varanasi region, will play a key role in KVIC’s venture, which entered the e-commerce industry in July, with handmade paper packaging materials to prevent plastic pollution.
KVIC Chairman Vinay Kumar Saxena said,”We have decided to begin online sale of earthen lamps and idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh this Deepavali.. The initiative aims at promoting Swadeshi products and reduce the import of these articles from China. The KVIC will make it possible with the help of the potters’ fraternity, especially from Varanasi region.” The KVIC has distributed over 2,700 electric potter wheels in Varanasi to revive the pottery industry in the region.
