The Khadi and Village Industries Commission has forced e-commerce portals such as Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal to remove over 160 links selling products in the name of Khadi.
In fact, KVIC has taken various initiatives to protect the trademark, Khadi, in India and the rest of the world, says Vinai Kumar Saxena, chairman of KVIC in Mumbai. “To prevent any misuse of such in India, KVIC has already had its trademark registration on the word, Khadi, for different classes.”
