New Delhi:
The government has okayed 40 textile parks in nine states that
have together attracted Rs.3,500 crore investment and generated
thousands of jobs, Minister of State for Textiles Panabaka Lakshmi
said Thursday.
"The Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP) has attracted
investment of Rs.3,500 crore and generated employment for 15,000
textiles workers," Lakshmi said in a written reply to a question
in the Lok Sabha.
Lakshmi said under the SITP scheme, the ministry of textiles has
sanctioned 40 textiles park projects.
These projects are located in nine different states - Andhra
Pradesh (5), Gujarat (7), Karnataka (1), Madhya Pradesh (1),
Maharashtra (9), Punjab (3) Rajasthan (5), Tamil Nadu (8), and
West Bengal (1).
The minister said an external evaluation of the SITP scheme was
