摘要

'I truly believe this is the golden period for the Indian textiles industry' stated Dr. K S Rao, Union Minister for Textiles, while inaugurating the 5th edition of FICCI-TAG 2013 summit in Mumbai. Dr. Rao further mentioned that although the textile industry is facing certain challenges in terms of skilled manpower, uninterrupted power supply and fluctuation in prices of cotton and yarn, he suggested that the industry should also take initiatives on their own such as setting up of captive power plants, training facilities and R&D centre with the help of central and state government. Dr. Rao added that labour laws need to be revised and 24 hrs work shift and night shift for women should be permitted in T&A Industry as permitted in IT & ITeS Industries.
