After taking over charge of the Indian ministry of textiles, minister Piyush Goyal recently visited the office of the textile commissioner in Mumbai to review the sector’s schemes and their progress and suggested measures to speed up implementation. He also recommended simplification of formats for submission of statutory returns from industry.
He reviewed various schemes and activities of the office of the textile commissioner, the textiles committee, the Cotton Corporation of India Ltd, various export promotion councils and textile research organisations.
The minister said applications received under subsidy-oriented schemes should be processed in a transparent manner using automation, keeping in view the broad objective of each scheme and necessary mechanism should be devised so that personal contact of industry and department can be eliminated.
For accelerating the progress of the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS), he suggested that major issues should be outlined and deliberations with stakeholders may be arranged to resolve the issues permanently.
He suggested the Cotton Corporation of India to work out possibilities for providing kapas plucking machines to cotton farmers through start-ups and develop special models for supporting small players. He emphasised the need to eliminate child labour in the textile sector, according to an official release.
