MGIRI Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Rural Industrialization (MGIRI), earlier named as National Institute for Rural Industrilization (NIRI),[1] is an autonomous institution located in Wardha, Maharashtra, India whose purpose is to accelerate the process of rural industrialization by providing science and technology support.

It is inspired by the Gandhian vision of sustainable and self reliant village economy.

In April 1936, Gandhi established his residence in the village Shegaon which he renamed as Sevagram.

KVIC thus collaborated in many projects with NIRI for developing rural technologies.

Establishment of MGIRI was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, Government of India, on 28 February 2016 as an autonomous body under the Indian Societies Registration Act.
