Tirupur which was on the path of becoming the textile hub of the country has been benefitted hugely by ATDC’s presence. It is to the credit of the ATDC centers that the textile and hosiery industry in the area has not faced shortage of skilled weavers and employees. Under the Budget Proposals for 2016-17, Finance Minister, Shri Arun Jaitley emphasized on the need of quality education, skills, and job- creation as the foundation of a strong and stable economy. These words of wisdom may not find appreciation in every realm of the society but when it come to Tirupur in Tamil Nadu, we find it as a perfect example of how Skill development can lead to a miraculous transformation. With nearly 44% of its population employed and registered as ‘main workers’, the skill development thrust has also ensured women development and empowerment. The Textile/garment sector has proven to be a sector where women have achieved better results than their compatriots from the other gender.
