Textile Park in Yavatmal in Maharashtra finally gets green signal from the state government. Yavatmal is popularly known as the city of white gold (cotton) but it is deprived of any industry based on cotton across the district. The proposed park would ensure large scale employment opportunity to the educated youths of the region besides providing better avenues for the farmers to garner the maximum benefit.

The government gave a go ahead after a joint meeting of the concerned departments and the district administration at mantralaya chaired by the Minister of State for energy and district guardian minister Madan Yerawar on recently. 93 hectares of land in Lohara-based MIDC has now been reserved for the park and the work would soon be launched.

Basic infrastructure, including supply of energy, water and provision for sewage water treatment plant, a 132 KV electricity substation would be set up in the park site to cater the energy requirements.
