In order to improve the coverage of textile units, particularly the powerloom units
under TUFS, the Government has decided to launch an intensive campaign through
interactive workshops on TUFS. Since sufficient awareness about the scheme has
already been created in the last over one year, the accent of these workshops will
be on facilitation rather than on creation of awareness. In the aforesaid workshops,
all efforts will be made by the selected core team of counsellors to remove all the
handicaps/problems of the potential investors in the interactive session itself to
facilitate and accelerate their access to the TUFS. The interactive workshops will be
organised at various textile centers, more particularly in the areas of clusters of SSI
textile units, by the Regional offices of the Textile Commissioner in association with
regional offices of the Textiles Committee, state government agencies, Nodal
Agencies of TUFS, co-opted PLIs, industry associations and local NGOs etc. The
format of the interactive workshops and the related activities will be as follows :
