The first ever national textile policy announced by the Government to fix the ailing industry and lift dwindling exports is a stitch very much in time.
The most important thing about this policy is that it has been developed after taking all stake holders into confidence, which is why it has been applauded by all.
Textiles, the major export of Pakistan which contributes a lion’s share in our gross domestic product, has been declining for internal as well as external reasons.
Therefore, there was a dire need on the part of the Government to save this industry as it is considered as oxygen for our economy.
However, this policy will be instrumental only if it is implemented in letter and spirit with the same zeal and zest with which it has been formulated.
