Tiruppur will be the backbone for India's textile output, as the knitting industry here accounts for 50% of the nation's exports, said Union Minister of Tourism G. Kishan Reddy on Monday at the NIFT-TEA College of Knitwear Fashion in Tiruppur.
In a session, addressing the students on AatmaNirbhar Bharat, he highlighted, “India’s textile industry is witnessing positive development with a separate ministry for the sector. PM Vishwakarma Kaushal Samman Yojana 2023 will ensure employment for rural youth across the country and focus on their welfare.”
“Over the next 20 years, our country will be the world’s greatest economic strength,” he mentioned.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi hopes to increase India’s textile exports worldwide. Tiruppur’s contribution is prominent to achieve this. Foreign business investments are inspired and the textile industry is moving forward today. Around 50 % of the country’s export is taking place through the Tirupur knitwear industry. India will top the world in textile production, for which, the knitwear city of Tiruppur will serve as the backbone,” the Minister stated.
