TEA (India) to train 16,000 workers under Samarth

The Tiruppur Exporters’ Association (TEA) will train 16,000 workers under the Samarth (Scheme For Capacity Building in Textile Sector) programme in the apparel factories of the city in next two years.

The association got approval from the Union Ministry of Textiles last August to implement the scheme.

Initially, 75 units had applied; however, following relaxation of lockdown restrictions that were imposed to control the spread of the pandemic last year, inflow of workers to the garment units reduced and the number of workers who were employed at the units dropped.

Further, many of the 75 units that had evinced interest in the scheme initially were unable to recruit new workers as business had slowed down.

Consequently, the association appealed to the Government to relax the norms of the scheme and permit the addition of more units.

As per Raja Shanmugham, President, TEA, around 100 apparel factories of the city are expected to benefit from the scheme. The Government pays Rs. 14,000 to a candidate during the 45-day training period. The training is on select activities such as quality checking and sewing. Each batch will have maximum 30 workers and the workers receive the stipend directly from the Government.

The Government has permitted more units to be covered under the scheme and the interested units, catering to domestic or export markets, are approaching the association.
