The State Government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the Centre, led by Union Minister for industries Piyush Goyal, signed a MoU recently for setting up a textile park in an area of 1,000 acres across Lucknow and Hardoi Districts. The park will be set up under the PM-Mega integrated textile region and apparel scheme (PM-Mitra). The CM announced that they would try and complete the formalities in a time-bound manner so that Prime Minister Narendra Modi could be invited to lay its foundation stone within the next two months.
Thanking the PM for choosing UP to implement this project under the PM-Mitra scheme, the CM called this a move towards re-establishing the state’s ancient glory and making it the new textile hub of the country.
“Centres like Kanpur, which were once famous for their textile industry but had over the years deteriorated, will greatly benefit from the scheme,” the CM said.
