## उत्तर ANSWER वस्त्र मंत्री ( श्रीमती स्मृतत ज़ूबिन इरानी

MINISTER OF TEXTILES (SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) & (b): As on 31.10.2020, there are 1241 operational and 563 inoperative/closed spinning mills in  the  country.  The  details  of  State-wise  number  of  operational  and  closed  mills  are  at  Annexure-  I. Closure of most of the mills took place before 2015.

(c): There is no specific scheme for revival of closed spinning mills.  Some of the mills are closed due to poor obsolete technology which cannot compete with modern spinning mills.  There is surplus modernized  spinning  capacity  in  the  country  and  Govt.  is  now  focusing  on  creating  similar  modern weaving,  processing  and  garment  production  capacity  in  the  country,  which  has  more  employment creation  potential.    To  this  objective  Govt.  is  implementing  Amended  Technology  Up-gradation Scheme (ATUFS), Integrated Processing Development Scheme (IPDS), Scheme for Integrated Textile Park (SITP) and other Schemes like Technology Mission on Technical Textile (TMTT).

(d): As informed by M/o Labour & Employment, the Labour Bureau is not collecting information on skilled & unskilled workers for such textiles mills.
