The Conference is being held under the theme “India’s Textiles: Weaving Growth, Heritage & Innovation”
According to the Ministry of Textiles, it is a strategic initiative designed to catalyse inclusive and sustainable growth across the country’s textile landscape.
The move will also help boost exports and create job opportunities. Under the initiative, districts were categorised into Champion Districts and Aspirational Districts.
Champion districts will focus on removing advanced bottlenecks. Interventions include upgrading to Mega Common Facility Centres, integrating Industry 4.0, and facilitating direct Export Market Linkages.
The Aspirational Districts would aim to build the ecosystem from the ground up in setting up the foundation and formalisation of the workforce.
On the inaugural day of the National Textiles Ministers’ Conference, the Ministry of Textiles (MoT) marked a transformative step toward evidence-based policymaking by signing Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with 15 States.
The MoUs, signed between the Ministry of Textiles and the respective State Governments, are part of the “Textiles focused Research, Assessment, Monitoring, Planning And Start-Up (Tex-RAMPS)” scheme.
The Central Sector Scheme is designed to improve the coverage, quality, timeliness, and credibility of textile-related statistical products and research.
