Textile park workshop to give a push to 'Make in India'

A national workshop on textile parks has been sanctioned under the Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP) to put the 'Make in India' campaign on a stronger footing.
"The workshop will feature experience-sharing by special purpose vehicles (SPVs) of successful textile parks and representatives of state governments on fruitful interventions by states," the Textiles Ministry said in a statement.
"The participants will also deliberate on critical success factors for SITP such as financing of parks, state government support, technological advancement and skill development initiatives," the Ministry added.
The 2-day workshop seeks to make the SITP scheme more effective by identifying and sharing best practices for its implementation.

It will also identify areas of improvement and discuss strategies to incorporate such improvements in design and implementation of the same.
Moreover, the workshop offers an opportunity to state governments to understand the benefit of the scheme in promoting textile ecosystem in their states.

It's also designed to facilitate interaction of the participants with the local industry and visit to successful textile parks.
But critical constraints remain, of which inadequate infrastructure is one.
The SITP aims to fill this infrastructure gap by encouraging the industry to set up greenfield industrial parks with partial capital grant support from the Ministry.
