“…One or more self-help groups consisting of women associated with similar livelihood objectives, registered under the National Rural Livelihood Mission and the National Urban Livelihood Mission, or other voluntary self-help groups, will be eligible to receive benefits under the Textile Policy,” the chief minister’s office said in a release on X.
Another amendment grants benefits under the policy to units engaged in non-polluting textile manufacturing activities related to garments, apparel and made-ups, stitching, embroidery and other activities
“As a result of this decision… non-polluting textile units located within municipal corporation limits in the state will receive extensive benefits from the scheme. Additionally, employment generation in urban areas will be encouraged and local employment opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled workers will increase. Recognition of non-polluting textile activities in urban areas will also create a favourable environment for the growth of micro, small and medium enterprises,” the release noted.
The amendments will enable women to become more economically empowered and self-reliant, and will provide them greater opportunities, it added.
