The conference was attended by the Union Minister for Textiles Giriraj Singh, Minister of State for Textiles Pabitra Margherita, textile and industry ministers, Members of Parliament and senior officials from the North-Eastern states and the Central Government along with representatives of key textile sector institutions.
Addressing the conclave, Singh said that the North-Eastern region plays a very integral part of the country’s textile sector and the Union Government is committed to its development.
The North-Eastern Region’s unique strengths—its rich handloom heritage, GI-tagged products, diverse silk varieties, bamboo crafts, and strong participation of women artisans and weavers—were highlighted during the deliberations, the Ministry of Textiles said in a press release.
The conference underscored the need for a coordinated and integrated approach to strengthen value chains, enhance exports, attract investments, and combine traditional skills with modern technology, design innovation, and market linkages.
