Ground Work / MANTRA Interview

Millions of metres of sarees are produced daily, and many players, specially the small ones, simply discard it or burn it in boilers as fuel. Some factories, it is said, substitute 20–30% coal with chindi, burning it at night, often between midnight and dawn, because coal is expensive. This is extremely polluting as it releases toxic emissions.

A national-level, uniform textile policy would make growth more equitable.
