The group is government-run and serves to promote the use of khādī and small-scale khādī industries. The group also gives licenses to companies that wish to manufacture the Flag of India. Khadi Bhandar chain stores are managed as per the rules and guidelines by this organisation. These stores serve as outlets for products made by village industry.
