We are glad to inform you that the Ministry of Textiles is taking an initiative to organize first ever “Investors Summit” exclusively for North East Region (NER) of India in association with Ministry of DONER and the Industry Associations FICCI and CII on 30-31 January 2017 at Shillong. The Summit aims to showcase the NER as a global destination for investment, and explore possibility of convergence of efforts of various central Ministries and North Eastern States to attract investment in NER.
The Summit will be attended by the all North Eastern States, Industries from North East and leading investors across the country. The Summit is expected to unlock huge potential of the NER in textile manufacturing and generate new avenues for employment in the region.
North Eastern Region has huge potential for investments particularly in the field of textiles and handicrafts due to its inherent strength for skilled work force and locally available raw material. Ministry of Textiles (MOT) is implementing projects worth Rs 1,050 cr for Handlooms, Handicrafts, sericulture, Apparel & Garmenting, Technical textiles etc. in the eight States of North East region in line with the “Act East” policy of the Government.
