(a): Under  the  Pilot  Scheme  for  setting  up  Incubation  Centers  in  Apparel  Manufacturing,  three projects were sanctioned by the Government. The Scheme envisaged infrastructure support and capacity building  support.    As  part  of  capacity  building,  training  was  given  to  200  workers  per  incubatee  for 3  months with an aim to provide placement oriented skilling to an individual thereby supporting the efforts of the industry in creating jobs in the organized textile sector. The criteria for the selection of 200  workers  for  training  support  was  in  accordance  with  the  norms  of  SAMARTH,  a  scheme  for capacity building in textile sector. The trainee must be a citizen of India possessing an Aadhaar Card with age over 14 years.

The present reformed SAMARTH, addresses the requirements of the industry and other stakeholders in a  transparent  manner  by  giving  opportunity  to  all  willing  persons.  Preference  is  given  to  the marginalized social groups like women, SC/ST, differently-abled persons, minorities, persons from the BPL category and 115 Aspirational Districts notified by the NITI Aayog. In addition, a web and Mobile App  based  platform  is  operational,  wherein  the  interested  candidates  can  indicate  willingness  for training.
