RJD MP from Buxar, Sudhakar Singh, recently wrote to PM Narendra Modi, demanding allocation of Prime Minister Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM-MITRA) park to Bihar. The MP said under the PM-MITRA scheme, recently announced by the central govt, establishment of parks has been announced in seven states, barring Bihar.
He added that Bihar was an industrially backward state with ample potential for the textile industry and it had selected 1,719 acres of land for this scheme, and the preliminary project report was submitted to the ministry of textiles before the last date of March 15, 2022.
While states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka already have developed textile industries, Bihar does not have any such modern textile cluster. He said due to lack of opportunities, workers migrate from Bihar. If such a project was set up in Bihar, it would not only generate local employment, but large-scale migration could also be prevented, he added.
