The Development Commissioner for Handlooms, under the Union Textiles Ministry, has sought bids for setting up of common facility centres (CFCs) in the ‘Varanasi Mega Handloom Cluster’. The CFCs will be in the public-private-partnership (PPP) mode. The government will contribute to the extent of 80 per cent of the project cost components. This is excluding the cost of the land.
