दुर्गापुर में CSB, जूट, हथकरघा, हस्तशिल्प, CCI तथा राज्य एवं क्षेत्रीय वस्त्र अधिकारियों के साथ आयोजित बैठक की अध्यक्षता की।
बैठक में पश्चिम बंगाल के बुनकरों और कारीगरों के हुनर को नई पहचान और बेहतर अवसर देने, जूट उत्पादों के विविधीकरण के माध्यम से इस उद्योग को बढ़ावा देने तथा रेशम उत्पादन बढ़ाने की संभावनाओं पर चर्चा की। हमारा प्रयास है कि यहां की पारंपरिक कला, स्थानीय कौशल और रेशम उत्पादन को प्रोत्साहन देकर वस्त्र क्षेत्र से जुड़े लोगों की समृद्धि के नए रास्ते खोले जाएं।
पश्चिम बंगाल के जामुड़िया स्थित श्री माँ टेक्सटाइल्स का दौरा किया। यह सुखद है कि पहले राज्य से बाहर उद्योग स्थानांतरित करने पर विचार कर रही कंपनी अब नई भाजपा सरकार के गठन के बाद जामुड़िया में ही अपने कारोबार का विस्तार कर रही है।
कंपनी बाहर से सूत मंगाकर कपड़ों की प्रोसेसिंग, गारमेंट्स निर्माण और निर्यात का कार्य करती है। इसका विस्तार स्थानीय रोजगार बढ़ाने और पश्चिम बंगाल को वस्त्र उद्योग के क्षेत्र में एक महत्वपूर्ण केंद्र बनाने की दिशा में अहम कदम है।
A proud milestone in the journey towards sustainable infrastructure!

🇮🇳🤝🇮🇹 Strengthening India–Italy Textile Cooperation | From Industry Dialogue to Manufacturing Partnerships
Day 3 of the Indian delegation’s visit to Italy, led by Smt. Neelam Shami Rao Secretary, Ministry of Textiles,Government of India,visited Prato, one of Italy’s most prominent textile manufacturing clusters, renowned for its rich textile heritage, specialised manufacturing capabilities and thriving circular textile economy.
The day commenced with an interaction with the President of Confindustria Toscana Nord (CTN), followed by a seminar on India–Italy cooperation in textiles and fashion. Discussions centred on strengthening bilateral trade, investment, technological exchange and industrial partnerships, with Bharat Tex 2027 highlighted as an important global platform to deepen industry engagement and unlock new opportunities.
The seminar was followed by one-to-one B2B meetings between Indian and Italian industry representatives, facilitating direct business interactions, exploring synergies and identifying potential areas of collaboration.
The afternoon featured visits to textile manufacturing facilities in Prato, offering valuable insights into the region’s industrial ecosystem, manufacturing expertise, material innovation and sustainable approaches to textile production.
A key takeaway was the strength of Prato’s interconnected textile ecosystem, where specialised enterprises, manufacturing knowledge and strong industry networks come together to drive innovation and global competitiveness.
🇮🇳 For India, this presents an important opportunity to strengthen linkages between our textile clusters, design institutions, research capabilities and industry, transforming traditional strengths into globally competitive, innovation-driven enterprises.
With the India–EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) opening new avenues for economic engagement, the visit also sets the tone for deeper India–Italy cooperation, enabling businesses on both sides to leverage complementarities, expand market access and realise mutual benefits.
The future of textiles will not be shaped by manufacturing capabilities alone, but by how effectively we connect knowledge, technology, sustainability and markets. India and Italy have much to learn from each other—and even more to achieve together. 🇮🇳🤝🇮🇹
