The Textile Commissioner’s office will be shifted from Mumbai to Delhi. The step has been taken to restructure the office of Textile Commissioner and Textile Committee (TC) in order to enhance effectiveness and achieve optimal use of resources.
To start the process, it has been decided that the Textile Commissioner will be moved to New Delhi along with a few key personnel, including one joint Textile Commissioner, two deputy secretary level (director rank) and two deputy director level officers.
The Textile Commissioner will be seated in the ministry and other officials in the regional office at Noida. The officials have been told to shift by 5th April 2023.
As per reports, Jayashree Sivakumar, undersecretary in the Ministry of Textiles, has written to Textile Commissioner Roop Rashi informing them about the decision.
“This restructuring exercise would involve shifting Textile Commissioner and a few key officials to the Ministry of Textiles (MoT) to strengthen the technical arm of the ministry, deployment/deputation of officers/staff from head office and field office to TC head office and field offices,” the letter read.
The Textile Commissioner acts as the principal technical advisor to the MoT and carries out techno-economic surveys and advises the government on the general economic health of the textiles industry through its eight regional offices at Amritsar, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Noida, Indore, Kolkata, Navi Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
