Set up a new textile processing Park:
A new textile processing park may be created with all necessary infrastructure including R&D, Common effluent treatment center, etc.
The Park can be set up near River/Sea with Zero effluent discharge facility.

Marketing support may be provided by the State Government by way of subsidized stall charges and travel expenses to be incurred by the exporters for encourage them for more participation.
