蒂鲁巴服装制造商要求政府经营的培训中心
Tirupur garment makers demand govt-run training centre
With the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa assuming charge of the State for the second consecutive time, garment makers and exporters in Tirupur have made a fresh appeal to the state government to set up a training centre to meet the growing demand of skilled workers in the industry.
“We are asking for a training centre as the garment cluster faces extreme shortage of skilled workers, who have the ability to produce value-added apparels,” The Hindu quoted the President of Tirupur Exporters and Manufacturers Association (TEMA) MP Muthurathinam as saying.
The TEMA also emphasised on the need for government assistance to construct houses for migrant workers employed in the cluster.
“Tirupur cluster has always depended on the migrant labour”, Muthurathinam acknowledged and warned that soaring house rentals were driving away many youth from the cluster.
“Unless affordable housing is provided, the cluster will not be any more of an attraction for workers from outside the district,” it was pointed in the list of demands sent by various industrialists to Chief Minister Jayalalithaa as she began her second straight tenure.
Entrepreneurs associated with garment industry also stressed upon the need for the government to take up infrastructure development, especially road construction on war-footing.

蒂鲁巴服装制造商要求政府经营的培训中心
随着泰米尔纳德邦首席部长J Jayalalithaa连任管理该州,蒂鲁巴服装生产商和出口商已经重新呼吁政府建立一个培训中心,以满足该行业对熟练工人日益增长的需求。
“我们要求一个培训中心,因为服装集群面临着熟练工人的极端短缺,这些工人有能力生产附加值的服装,” Hindu引用蒂鲁巴出口商和制造商协会(TEMA)议员Muthurathinam的说法。
“蒂鲁巴集群一直依赖于移动劳动力”,Muthurathinam承认并警告说,飞涨的房子租金已经赶走了集群许多青年。
“除非提供保障性住房,集群将不会再从区域外吸引员工,”这是由各种实业家向首席部长Jayalalithaa寄出的需求清单中指出的,因为她开始连续第二个任期。
服装行业的企业家还强调政府需要基础设施建设,特别是公路建设。
