Rapid industrialisation has pushed up the demand for manpower: association

COIMBATORE: The South India Small Spinners' Association has appealed to the Union and State Governments to help textile units in Coimbatore and Erode districts in overcoming manpower shortage.

In a memorandum submitted recently to Minister of State for Textiles E.V.K.S. Elangovan, association president R. Kuppusamy said the rapid industria lisation pushed up the demand for manpower. To get enough workers, the mills had come out with several in-house facilities. "Only with such schemes, the mills are able to run three shifts a day and use the machinery fully."

The Centre had executed schemes to provide jobs to the unemployed in the rural sector, and it should recognise the steps taken by the spinning sector to create jobs, he said.
