Mega Textile Parks being created in different parts of the country, are simply revolutionizing the sector, creating thousands of jobs and business opportunities, besides raising income of the people already engaged in the sector. Inaugurating the new mega textile part at Dhar district in Madhya Pradesh, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that it will strengthen Make in India and will create new job opportunities for the youth. He also added that the Park will open new doors for the growth of the state.

Apart from this, the government is also implementing a scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP) through which 54 textiles parks have been approved across the country, out of which 31 textiles parks have been completed, while 23 are at various stages of completion.
