Addressing the gathering, the Minister said that the Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given special attention to the Ministry of Textiles with special focus on the North Eastern Region.

Of the total outlay of Rs 1038.10 crore, Rs 18.9 crore has been given to Mizoram for setting up of this centre where the State government provides 1.5 acre of land free of cost. The centre will be managed by the Ministry of Textiles for 5 years and will be handed over to the state government thereafter.

Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, Dr. S. K. Panda said that the garment making centre will provide employment to the youths of Mizoram. It will also lead a way for developing technical textile and skilled personnel which will in turn contribute to the economy of Mizoram.
