The ‘Make in Gujarat – Textiles’ seminar will be held on the third day of the ‘Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2017’ that will take place in Gandhinagar from January 10 to 13.
The four-day event will focus on ‘sustainable economic and social development’ and is expected to be attended by over two million people from around the world.
The textile sector is one of the most important sectors for Gujarat as it is one of the largest producers of cotton. The state produced close to 93 lakh bales, which amounted to about 33 per cent of the total cotton production of India, in 2012-13. About 50 per cent of India’s total art silk fabric is produced in Surat and the state is the largest producer of denim with a share of 65 per cent.
The Vibrant Gujarat event is being organised by the government of Gujarat and its organisation Industrial Extension Bureau. Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) are the national partners for the summit.
The global summit will provide the visitors an opportunity to interact with key policy makers, industry leaders, global thought leaders, regulators and renowned academicians from all over the world.
