印度政府保留目前手工织布机的定义

 

Indian govt retains the present definition of handloom

The Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, has accepted the report of the sub-committee constituted to examine the issue of change of definition of handloom, Santosh Kumar Gangwar, Minister of State (Independent Charge) in the Ministry of Textiles, said in written reply in Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliament.

“The sub-committee examined the issue and given its recommendation based on the representations of the stakeholders and recommended that in the process of weaving, the weaver does not use power and hence definition of handloom need not be changed and it should remain in the purest form. The Government of India, Ministry of Textiles has accepted the report of the sub-committee,” Gangwar said.

The sub-committee constituted by the Ministry of Textiles did not have any representative from handloom or powerloom weavers to examine the issue of change of definition of handloom. However, the committee had discussed in detail all the aspects of this issue with handloom and powerloom weavers in different clusters of the country, Gangwar added.

He informed that Government of India is implementing a number of developmental and welfare schemes to empower the handloom weavers such as Yarn supply/Mill Gate Price Scheme, National Handloom Development Programme, Handloom Weavers Comprehensive Welfare Scheme and Comprehensive Handloom Cluster Development Scheme (CHCDS)-Handloom Mega Cluster. 

In the Budget 2014-15, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced setting up of textile mega clusters at various places with a budget outlay of Rs. 200 crore. This include two mega handloom clusters—one in Bhagalpur (Bihar) and another in Trichy (Tamil Nadu)—with a duration of 5 years, Gangwar said a day earlier in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Indian Parliament.

印度政府纺织部已经接受了小组委员会的报告，该小组委员会任命于检查改变手工织布机定义的问题,国家纺织部长Santosh Kumar Gangwar在书面答复上议院时说道。

“小组委员会检查问题,并给出利益相关者代表一些建议，这些建议是在织造过程中的,织造不使用电力,因此手工织布机的定义不需要被改变,并且应该保留其纯粹的形式。印度政府纺织部已经接受了小组委员会的报告,”Gangwar说。

由印度纺织部组成的小组委员会没有任何来自手工织布机和动力织机织布工的代表，该小组委员会检查改变手工织布机定义的问题。然而,该委员会详细讨论了来自不同集群手工织布机和动力织机的织工问题的所有方面,Gangwar补充道。

他告知,印度政府正在实施一些授权手工织布机的发展和福利方案，比如纱线供应/工厂大门价格计划,国家手工织布机发展计划,手工织布机织工综合福利计划以及综合手工织布机集群开发计划(CHCDS)。

根据2014-2015年预算,财政部长Arun Jaitley宣布预算支出20亿卢比用以在不同地方建立大型的纺织集群。包括两个大型的手工织布机集群，一个在比哈尔邦的巴加尔布尔,另一个在泰米尔纳德邦特里奇城，将持续花费5年的时间,Gangwar一天前在下议院说。
