Tamil Nadu to set up new textile library

The state government announced a slew of measures for the development of handlooms and textile industry including establishing a textile library for conserving the traditional designs and churning out new designs and a separate electricity feeder line for textile parks in Tamil Nadu.
“This library will aim at preserving the traditional handloom designs, handloom weaving tradition, art work, foster handloom designs making, applying latest technology in design and production.
The CM has ordered the establishment of this library at Chennai Co-Optex complex at the cost of Rs 25 lakh,” S. Sundararaj, handlooms and textiles minister said.
Winding up the debate on the demand for grants for his department in the Assembly on Wednesday, he said the library would house books and periodicals on textile technology, besides display handloom woven products and looms.
Apart from announcing a 10 per cent hike in wages for handloom weavers, thus entailing the cooperative societies an additional expenditure of about Rs 25 crore, the minister said the education aid given to wards of weavers would be enhanced.
A design and training centre would be set up at Paramakudy and training centres at Kumbakonam and Kancheepuram. The defunct Ramanathapuram district cooperative spinning mill would be revived.
Meanwhile, a policy note on the department said 17 of 18 common effluent treatment plants, Tirupur, have submitted reports to the TN Pollution Control Board, which has recommended 7 CET plants for the first phase.
About Rs 24.36 crore, 10 per cent of the loan amount for civil works and 20 per cent of loan amount for purchasing machines, would be released from out of the interest free loan of Rs 179.34 crore sanctioned by the government.
