Minister for Industries and IT K.T. Rama Rao said that the readymade garments made by women at Gokaldas Images Pvt. Ltd’s ‘Green Needle’ manufacturing unit in the Sircilla Apparel Park are being exported to the U.S. under the ‘Sircilla’ brand name, proving the mettle of women.
Once the apparel park becomes fully operational, it would provide employment to 8,000 women, the Minister said, adding that plans are afoot to provide frame looms in place of pit looms to the weavers under the ‘Telangana Chenetha Maggam’ scheme.
Addressing the 77th Independence Day celebrations after unfurling the national flag at the Integrated District Offices Complex in the textile hub of Sircilla on Tuesday, the Minister said the apparel park works, taken up at ₹174 crore on 60 acres at Peddur near Sircilla, have been completed.
