Powerloom Sector, Powerloom Cluster, Indian Power loom Sector

Automation will also result in a reduction in the number of machines in each of these sectors (as each machine becomes more productive). This may create a redundancy of jobs. Some effort also needs to be taken to ensure that those displaced are retrained and absorbed in the industry. Manpower training and organized placement services may address this issue.

How this money is utilized to solve specific problems will decide the success of the scheme. If the funds are frittered away in short-term subsidies, it will just serve to fill the pockets of a few entrepreneurs, while the rest will continue to languish. What happens once the funds received as subsidies are absorbed and digested? While subsidies may entice people to set up businesses, they are definitely harmful in the long run as they do not build competitiveness. If at all subsidies are offered, they should be based on a strategy of long-term operation.

Dr.M.S.Mathivanan, Chairman, PDEXCIL on benefits of powerloom cluster:

By establishing the Mega Cluster, global prominence will be given to these centers, a new thrust will be provided for the modernization of looms, introduce new technology and state of the technology will be viable. Presently due to lack of service facilities productivity is lesser than what is expected and in product development the exporters are not able to provide the latest designs and develop the products as per the buyers needs.

This cluster will provide the essential facilities so that the exporters in and around Erode will be able to develop products and develop the samples and will offer to the international buyers. They will be able to analyze the marketing strategy and their entrepreneurial skills will be developed to face the international competition.

This mega clusters will also organize international fairs so that the buyers will come and meet the manufacturers directly and see the product development and place orders. Such direct liaison will eliminate the intermediaries in the buyers country and also in our country. There are also places where many home furnishing products like, Chennimalai, Bhavani, Karur, and Vellakoil. This mega cluster will be a great benefit to the manufacturers and exporters.

Dr.M.S.Mathivanan, Chairman, PDEXCIL on opportunities and living standard of inhabitant of Erode and Bhiwandi after development of these provinces as powerloom cluster:

Presently the powerloom weavers are employed to weave the fabrics for the orders as and when the power loom units get them. By establishing the mega clusters, there will be immense possibility of increase in the value of products and volume of products. More employment will be generated and more wages can be paid for the weavers.

At present the weavers of the Rapiers looms and air jet looms are paid on monthly basis or weekly basis, but the powerloom weavers are given the job work based on the meters produced in a day. When the production is reduced due to order shortage, due to maintenance, or power shut down, the weavers will not get their earnings. The establishment of mega cluster will provide opportunities for continuous production which will result in the increase in the wages of powerloom weavers and they can be assured of the monthly wages too.

The employment opportunity will increase in and around the area of 150 kms, in direct and indirect way related to the textiles activities, this will undoubtedly change the living standards of the weavers and their families.
