Textiles Committee
National Programme for capacity building of textile SMEs through cluster based approach by Textiles Committee
Textiles Committee, which has transformed itself from regulation to facilitation, acts as a coordination agency in implementation of this programme. The services of various support institutions are roped to implement the programme.
While the regional offices of the Textiles Committee act as nodal offices for the concerned clusters, an experienced officer within the concerned office is designated as Cluster Development Agent (CDA) exclusively, for implementation of the programme.
