The apex trade body for textile industry, Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) welcomed the appointment of Smriti Irani as the Union Cabinet Minister for textiles.
Naishadh Parikh the Chairman of CITI said, “At a time the Textile Industry is poised to establish 'Make in India' into a reality, the appointment of a dynamic, progressive and result oriented Cabinet Minister like Irani comes at an opportune time."
Parikh thanked the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for appointing a full-fledged Cabinet Minister for the Textile industry, "to achieve his goal of creating 5 crore jobs in the next few years."
“India is the second fully integrated robust textile value chain, next only to China and industry is looking forward to initiatives to further bolster the textile industry in view of large investments taking place in Bangladesh and Vietnam towards verticalisation of the industry," Parikh said here.
