The state’s MSME industries urges Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar to set up a technical textiles centre which would include a testing and design lab as well as training facilities to ensure progress in the sector.
These demands come ahead of the state budget which will be presented by the CM on 23rd February 2023.
Rakesh Chhabra, President of Rai Industries Association, was quoted as saying, “We have CIPET at Murthal for Plastics, MSME Technology Centre at Rohtak for Metal Products. Similarly, we request a centre for Technical Textiles comprising of a lab for testing, a design studio, latest machinery for doing reverse sampling and training.”
He, as a CEC member of Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises (FISME), also submitted virtually a range of suggestions to the State Government during a pre-budget consultation recently held in the presence of the CM.
He further added that Haryana needs 3-4 Entrepreneurship Development Institutes (EDI), so that there is a boost in skill development across the state.
With respect to the need for training, he suggested the setting up of a Modern Skill Institute for Industrial Training where knowledge and expertise are imparted via courses on new systems and technologies including TS Quality Standards, Cost Audits and more.
