Beginning Tuesday, 1st July, the Gujarat chapter of the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) is planning a number of activities to encourage the production of garments in Surat, a centre for man-made fabrics.
The Gujarat Yoga Board, the Institute of Design and Technology, and the Federation of Surat Trade and Textile Associations Forum are collaborating to organise these programmes.
The event, which will promote clothing and textile companies, will involve more than 500 students. There will be a rally at Ring Road’s Millennium Market. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s five Fs—Farm, Fibre, Factory, Fashion, and Foreign—will be on display at the event.
A national-level conference on topics such artificial intelligence, sustainable fashion, the future of the fashion industry, and textile innovation will take place on 5th July. Leading clothing businesses will attend the conference alongside representatives from the Gujarat, SIDBI, and Chhattisgarh governments.
According to Ajoy Bhattacharya, regional chairman of CMAI, the city has earned a name for itself in MMF and is currently working to become a hub for garments as well.
