In the last eight years, 215 cotton/man-made fibre textiles mills have been shut down, informed Anand Sharma, Union Minister of Commerce, Industry & Textiles, in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
Sharma said, "215 cotton/man-made fibre textiles mills (non-SSI) having 69,774 workers on rolls were closed during the past eight years."
Under the Textile Workers Rehabilitation Fund Scheme (TWRFS), the government provides interim relief to the textiles workers rendered unemployed due to closure of units in the private sector.
Sharma said, till March 31, 2012, 1.13 lakh workers have been benefited from the scheme.
The government has said that necessary amendment in the TWRFS would be made to expedite the benefits to textiles workers under the scheme.
As on March 31, 2012, there were 1,957 cotton/man-made textiles mills employing 8.58 lakh workers, he added.
