The Standing Committee on Labour, Textiles, and Skill Development proposed an umbrella policy for the cotton sector and comprehensive measures for reviving closed jute mills or establishing new ones. It suggested exploring alternative markets for silk exports beyond UAE, US, and EU to offset potential export value declines. The committee advised incentivizing cotton farmers instead of scrapping import duties and urged a comprehensive study on cotton production issues. Additionally, it urged expediting the National Textile Policy formulation.
