The NERTPS is an Integrated Scheme launched
for the overall development of the handloom and handicrafts sector with
components like Cluster Development, Technology Upgradation, Marketing
Promotion and Skill Development.
While
emphasising the fact that the new scheme is ideal for the women weavers of the
state, Tuki appealed the Union Ministry of Textiles to allocate funds under the
scheme for modernisation of equipments and other infrastructure facilities for
them. He highlighted the fact that the women weavers of the state have been
historically producing traditional garments which are rich in style and design.
"Our
weavers are expert and capable of producing competitive products for the
national as well as the international markets" Tuki said while seeking
adequate support from the Central Government.He disclosed steps taken by the
state government which has been rendering looms and other equipments to the
women weavers through the CM's Loin Loom Scheme.
The
Chief Minister also stressed on the Skill Development component of the NERTPS
so as to benefit local youth who can not only gain expertise through training
and employment but also would later be in a position to take up entrepreneurial
ventures in the sector. The skill development outlay of the scheme would be
aligned with the CM's Skill Development Mission which would benefit a sizeable
population of youth in the coming years.
