The state cabinet has recently approved to establish the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) campus in Nava Raipur, a move that underlines the government’s focus on skill development and design innovation in textiles.Highlighting the rich heritage of Chhattisgarh’s traditional textiles, CM Sai said, “The natural kosa cocoon found in Bastar and Surguja carries enough potential for textile development. With institutions like NIFT and support from CMAI, the branding and promotion of our handloom products will now get a much-needed push.”The state’s new industrial policy has received encouraging investment proposals from sectors ranging from Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to high-tech industries like semiconductors. Over 350 reforms have already been implemented to make the investment process seamless. There are additional incentives rolled out in the policy for enterprises setting up units in tribal regions like Bastar and Surguja.”With surplus water and power, centrally located and now cargo facilities at Raipur Airport, the logistics advantages for the textile industry are unparalleled”, said the CM as he called upon all textile industry leaders to take advantage of the investor-friendly environment in Chhattisgarh.
