About Us

While dedicating their lives for the cause of Khadi and Village Industries, some leading Gandhians like late Sri H.A. Pai of Ankola, late Sri Anant Bhat of Bijapur, late Sri Jayadev Rao Kulkarni of Belgaum, late Sri B.J. Gokhale of Dharwar, late Sri Vasudeva Rao of Chitradurga and late Sri. B.H. Ianamdar of Raichur felt the need for guiding the Khadi institutions. It was named the ¿Karnataka Khadi Gramodyog Samyukta Sangh (Federation), Bengeri, Hubli¿,

with late Sri Venkatesh T. Magadi being made its first Chairman and late Sri Sriranga Kamat its Vice-Chairman. The initial work of the Federation was started with a sum of Rs. 10,500/- donated by the above said member Institutions. Later, over the period of time, this small organization has grown into a big tree as Khadi Federation, taking under its shelter 58 member Institutions across the state, helping and guiding them in their way ahead.
