Union Govt taking measures to bring down contamination in cotton: Chairman of CCI

New Delhi, Aug 18 (KNN) The Union Government is taking steps to bring down contamination in cotton, said P. Alli Rani, Chairman and Managing Director of Cotton Corporation of India.

She inaugurated a two day conference on “Indian Cotton Scenario in the Current Context 2018/2019” organized by the Indian Cotton Federation, Coimbatore (ICF), and Indian Cotton Association, Bathinda.

Speaking at the conference, she said that the second phase of Technology Mission on Cotton, proposed by the Ministry of Textiles, is likely to be approved by the Government soon. When it is launched, issues such as contamination can be resolved.

T. Rajkumar, Deputy Chairman of Confederation of Indian Textile Industry, urged the cotton stakeholders to give priority to quality. Data provided by the trade on cotton should be consistent.

Further, the Cotton Corporation of India should have a warehouse in Tamil Nadu as the State has the largest textile industry, he added.

K. Vinayagam, Vice-Chairman of Southern India Mills Association, said the domestic industry should get the benefit of home grown cotton.

 For that the Union Government should form a price stabilization fund. It should also increase funding for cotton research, he added.
