Background

The history of textiles in India dates back to the

use of mordant dyes and printing blocks around
3000 BC.
The diversity of fibers found in India, intricate
weaving on its state-of art manual looms and its
organic dyes attracted buyers from all over the
world for centuries.
Independent India saw the building up of textile
capabilities, diversification of its product base, and
its emergence, once again, as an important global
player.

TODAYS SENARIO
Today the textile and garments industry plays a
significant role in the economy.
It is one of the largest and the most important
sectors of Indian economy in terms of output,
foreign exchange earnings and employment.
The sector employs 35 million persons. Of this,
textile segment alone accounts for 29 million and
the clothing industry accounts for the remaining 6
million people.
In fact it is the second largest employer in the
economy after agriculture.
It contributes nearly 20 per cent to the countrys
total export earnings.
