IMPACT OF NCDC’S ASSISTANCE ON THE COOPERATIVE TEXTILE SECTOR

The Cooperative Textile sector has played a commendable role in the upliftment of small and marginal cotton farmers and the weavers belonging to the weaker sections besides the Jute Growers, Sericulturists and the Coir workers. These mills/units – a majority of which are located in the rural areas have brought about a significant socio-economic transformation in the area of its operation. Over 5 lakh cotton growers and 6000 grower cooperatives reap benefit by marketing of cotton in value added form. About 22500 handloom weaver cooperatives are benefited by consistent supply of quality yarn. The cooperative spinning mills represent about 10% of the total spindleage of the country with substantial yarn production and exports. The weaving cooperatives have been instrumental in providing a source of livelihood to a large number of people most of which belong to the weaker segment.

 

 

NCDC has been promoting the cooperative textile programmes by providing financial assistance for the development of Cotton Ginning and Spinning, Weaving, Coir, Jute & Sericulture activities in the cooperative sector. These activities include the entire gamut of activities right from ginning to the garmenting stage besides activities for development of Coir, Jute & Sericulture.
