Indian Texpreneurs Federation (ITF), an apex body of textiles mills in the region, has signed an MoU with National Skill Development Council (NSDC), to train 50,000 fresh workers in 15 job roles during 2017.
Kenya plans to revive its cotton industry, a major foreign-exchange earner until the 1980s, amid strong demand for lint from domestic mills and the potential to supply manufacturers exporting clothing and textiles to the U.S. under a preferential trade deal.
