The Prime Minister affirmed his government’s commitment to bolstering the textile sector’s contribution towards India’s development. He noted that efforts are underway to integrate all facets of the textile value chain with initiatives like Fs.
What Did PM Modi Say?
Emphasizing the significance of the five F’s – farm, fibre, factory, fashion, and foreign relations, Prime Minister Modi stated that this framework serves as a guiding principle for empowering farmers, MSMEs, and boosting exports.
Modi highlighted the recent amendments made by the Union government to redefine Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) based on investment and turnover criteria. This adjustment aims to ensure that companies, regardless of their size, can access government schemes and benefits. Efforts have also been made to bridge the gap between artisans and the market.
Prior to the inauguration, the Prime Minister toured the exhibitions and engaged with the exhibitors. Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Darshana Jardosh were also in attendance.
