Kolkata, July 7 (IBNS): Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI), the apex chamber of textiles in India, has welcomed the appointment of Smriti Irani as the new Cabinet Minister of textiles.
Welcoming her appointment, Naishadh Parikh the Chairman of CITI said, "At a time the Textile Industry is poised to establish 'Make in India' into a reality, the appointment of a dynamic, progressive and result oriented Cabinet Minister like Smt. Irani comes at an opportune time."
Confederation of Indian Textile Industry thanked the Prime Minister for giving it a full fledged Cabinet Minister to achieve his goal of creating 5 Crore jobs in the next few years.
