The details of product-wise export of handloom products, export of major textile items and  country wise Export of textile items are at Annexure-I, Annexure-II and Annexure-III respectively.

Further, Government, has conducted a Symposium with textile Export Promotion Councils and other  industry  stakeholders  for  finalizing  a  list  of  potential  export  products  against  which  exports  of textile  and  apparel  can  be  enhanced. The  list  of  potential  export  products  were  shared  with the  Indian Mission  abroad  for  identification  of  potential  buyers  in  the  respective  countries.  In  order  to  make  the textile sector competitive by rebating all taxes/levies in international market, the Government has decided to  continue  the  RoSCTL  (Rebate  of  State  and  Central  Taxes  and  Levies)  scheme  until  such  time  the RoSCTL  scheme  is  merged  with  Remission  of  Duties  and  Taxes  on  Exported  Products  (RoDTEP) scheme. For this purpose, the Government has approved adhoc allocation of funds of Rs. 7398 crore for FY 2020-21 for issuance of duty credit scrips under RoSCTL scheme.

(d) & (e): With a view to boost textiles sector in the country, government has initiated two important steps which were part of Budget Announcement in Lok Sabha on 01.02.2020. These are;

-  Creation of National Technical Textiles Mission with total outlay of Rs 1480 crore. Technical textiles  are  textiles  which  are  used  for  their  functional  properties,  rather  than  for  aesthetics  or comfort.  There  are  a  large  varities  of  technical  textiles  some  of  which  are  used  in  important applications  such  as  agriculture,  health  and  hygiene,  medical  applications,  soil  and  water conservation, roads and highway, railways, airports, sea-ports, defence, protection of personnel in military, para-military, petrochemical/chemical industries, safety of fireman etc. The aim of the Mission  is  to  position  India  as  a  major  producer,  consumer  and  exporter  of  technical  textile products in the world map, therefore boosting its economy and technological capability.
-  Abolition of anti-dumping duty on P urified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), which is a critical input for man-made  textile  fibre  and  yarns.  Its  easy  availability  and  competitive  pricing  is  desirable  to unlock the immense potential in textile sector which is a significant employment generator.

In  order  to  promote  and  develop  various  sectors/  segments  of  the  textiles  and  clothing  industry, the  Government has been implementing  various policy initiatives and schemes which inter alia support/ improve  the  lives  and  livelihoods  of  textile  weavers  through  employment  generation  and  promotes production and export competitiveness of the textile industry such as Amended Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (A-TUFS), Schemes for the development of the Powerloom Sector(Power-Tex), Schemes for  Technical  Textiles,  Scheme  for  Integrated  Textile  Parks  (SITP),  Scheme  for  Additional  Grant  for Apparel Manufacturing Units under SITP (SAGAM),  Jute (ICARE- Improved Cultivation and Advanced Retting Exercise), Integrated Processing Development Scheme (IPDS), National Handloom Development Progarmme, Comprehensive Handloom Cluster Development Scheme (CHCDS), Silk Samagra, Integrated  Wool  Development  Programme  (IWDP), North  East  Region  Textiles  Promotion Scheme (NERTPS), Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (ROSCTL) etc.

Budgetary allocation of funds is not made State-wise. The funds are allocated Scheme-wise on pan India.  However,  indicative  physical  targets  are  allotted  to  States/implementing  agencies  and  funds  are released  based  on  viable  proposals  received  and  utilization  of  previous  funds.   The  details  of  funds allocation/expenditure in major textile sector is at ANNEXURE-V.

The  government  is  implementing  the  Samarth-Scheme  for  Capacity  Building  in  Textiles  Sector,  a placement oriented programme targeting skill development of 10 lakh youth in the entire value chain of textiles,  excluding  Spinning  &  Weaving  in  the  organized  Sector.  Some  of  the  advanced  features  of SAMARTH scheme include Training of Trainers (ToT), Aadhar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS), CCTV recording of training programme, dedicated call centre with helpline number, mobile app based Management Information System (MIS) and on-line monitoring of the training process. The Government had approved the Samarth Scheme with a total outlay of Rs. 1300 crore.

Under  Samarth,  18  State  Governments  have  been  allocated  a  training  target  of  3.6  lakh beneficiaries  for  conducting  training  programme  in  traditional  and  organized  sectors.  The  States  have entered into MoU with Ministry on 14.08.2019. Sectoral Organizations of Ministry (DC-Handlooms, DCHandicrafts, Central Silk Board & National Jute Board have been allocated a training target of 43,000 beneficiaries for skilling/up-skilling in traditional sectors.

Further, Ministry initiated the process of empanelling industry/industry associations for undertaking  industry  oriented  entry-level  skilling  programmes  in  the  organized  sectors.   A  total  of  76 industries  have  been  empanelled  under  Entry-level  skilling  and  allocated  a  training  target  of  1.36 lakh beneficiaries. Also, 44 industries for upskilling programme have been empanelled and allocated training target of 30,000 beneficiaries.

With a view to improve the participation of MSME in the skilling programme, a separate RFP was  floated  to  empanel  industry  associations  working  with  MSME  sector  textile  industries.  Physical verification  of  training  centres  proposed  11  industry  associations  applied  under  this  category  has  been commenced.

Also  handloom  workers  are  provided  training  for  up-gradation  of  their  skills.  During  the  last  three years and the current year, 23,739 handloom workers have been provided training to upgrade their skill, 33,043 Looms /Accessories provided under HSS and 103574 number of loans have been sanctioned to handloom  weavers  under  the  MUDRA  Scheme.  The  details  of state-wise  Employment  status  under ATUFS is at ANNEXURE-IV.
