The government on Tuesday said employment has risen in the khadi and village industries, particularly in agro-units, on account of rise in agricultural production and processing.

"The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, the Ministry of Agriculture has reported that employment in agro- industries is growing with an increase in agricultural production, processing...," Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Dinsha Patel said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.

However, the minister did not provide any figures. During 2008-10, the government has provided jobs to 6.7 lakh workers, under the Prime Minister Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP), which aims at generating employment through setting up of micro enterprises, including rural industrial units, Patel said.

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission is the nodal agency to implement the PMEGP.

Under the Rural Employment Generation Programme, over 49 lakh people were provided jobs in the rural non-farm sector between 1995-2008, Patel said.
