| Apparel Training & Production Center (ATPC) |
| |
His excellency the ex-president of India, Sri A P J Abdul Kalam, advised the state to take up textile as one of the missions for Karnataka's prosperity. With the advent of WTO regime since January 2005, opportunities for exporting garments have increased enormously. Karnataka is emerging as a textile hub of the country. Garment industry in the state provides employment to nearly 4 lakhs of people. Women account for more than 90% of work force. A conservative estimate of the manpower requirement during the next five year works out to 3.5 lakh persons. Educated unemployed youth need various skill-sets in order to make them employable by the readymade garment industry. This calls for establishment of Apparel Training & Production Center at potential districts. |
