Samarth Scheme

Samarth Scheme — (Source: competitiveindia.com)

The textile and apparel industry is one of the oldest industries established in India. This industry contributes 5% to the country’s GDP and is responsible for 12% of India’s total export earnings. India has been able to achieve this immense growth due to the availability of the labour force.

Despite the labour force availability, India faced a gap in engaging ‘skilled labours’ in the textile and apparel industry. The earlier production methods relied heavily on manual practices. However, the new age demand and usage of technology created a void of skilled labour. Subsequently, to increase the supply of skilled labour, the Government of India launched Samarth Scheme.
