He said that the carpet exporter organization should prepare its action plan keeping this in mind. Giving advice, he said that the carpet industry should work on a plan to take its business from Rs 16 thousand crore to Rs 50 thousand crore. Carpet and carpet are cousins. We will cooperate at every level for the development of this industry that provides employment to people.
He said that the carpet is the heritage of Bhadohi and Türkiye is nothing in front of us. We will have to work to take our legacy forward by using technology. Enhance your heritage by bringing new patterns in design. To reduce the cost of products, a wool mill should be set up in Bhadohi for raw production and a raw material bank should also be established.
Emphasizing on technology, Giriraj Singh said that both the central and state governments are ready for cooperation. He announced that within 6 months, work is being done on a new fiber which will be prepared from jute and bamboo.
