Govindas proposes textiles park under NERTPS during annual conference of Textile ministers

NEW DELHI, September (MIC) 24: Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Textiles Santosh Gangwar discussed the provisions of the proposed New Textile Policy such as introducing flexible labour laws

NEW DELHI, September (MIC) 24: Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Textiles Santosh Gangwar discussed the provisions of the proposed New Textile Policy such as introducing flexible labour laws and setting up integrated textile parks with States in the Annual Conference of State Textiles Ministers on Wednesday at Scope Complex, Lodhi Road here.

Participating at the conference, Govindas Konthoujam, Minister of Sericulture, Commerce and Industries, Manipur introduced a brief account of the status of handloom industry in Manipur.

Referring to the opportunities so far given by Govt. of India to Manipur; he stated that the Ministry of Textiles extended the State the opportunity to implement various Centrally Sponsored Schemes under the Development Commissioner for Handlooms and Handicraft, Power loom and Sericulture directly.

Presently, the State was implementing handloom cluster development project, catalytic development project and Manipur Sericulture Project phase-II, handicrafts clusters and Guru Award among others Coming to the sericulture, Govindas said,

“Manipur is also a unique State in the country where four varieties of silk namely, Tasar, Mulberry, Eri and Muga are grown. With this potential, Japan Bank of International Co-operation (JBIC) funded Manipur Sericulture Project-I during 1998-2008 for infrastructure development.”

He proposed to Ministry to consider Manipur Sericulture Project Phase-II for covering tribal community of five hill districts of the State to make an equal growth in all areas.

Govindas proposed to introduce Mega Handloom Cluster as a National Scheme in the States where minimum weavers is more than 1.00 lakh as the eligibility criteria.

For setting up of a Textile Park under the North Eastern Region Textile Promotion Scheme (NERTPS); Govindas pointed out that the Ministry had Integrated Textile Park where there were certain minimum criteria which the North Eastern States like Manipur had limitation to fulfill the criteria laid down in the guidelines.

He proposed to include the Textile Park in NERTPS to cater all sectors of power loom, handloom, handicrafts, garmenting, value addition units, finishing and packaging units.

In regards to the implementation of Handloom Schemes by State government, Govindas stated that most of the Handicrafts Schemes under the Central Plan Scheme did not require the State share in the implementation.

He proposed to the Union government to allow the State government to implement the handloom schemes of DC (Handlooms) in the similar manner.Manipur Minister of Commerce and Industry also proposed to introduce online submission of project proposal for speedy and accuracy in all the schemes of the Ministry. He hoped that the Union Minister of Textiles would be taking serious view for promotion and development of handlooms, handicrafts and sericulture in the North Eastern Region, in particular and the country, in general. He expected that the textile sector would flourish further in the near future to meet both ends of consumption and economic development under able leadership of the Union Minister for Textiles Santosh Gangwar.
