Scope to expand footwear & textile sectors in India: Minister Goyal

Goyal is also in charge of commerce and industry, consumer affairs, and food & public distribution portfolios.

He encouraged the industry to have a greater risk appetite, invest in labour-intensive industries that may be less profitable at the beginning, but generate lakhs of jobs, and promote tribal handicraft products as part of corporate social responsibility activities.

Stressing that the country is going through a sharp and strong revival, the minister said rising economic indicators indicate India is shaping up for a growth decade, according to an official release.
