cotton farmers. The industry is sustaining livelihoods to millions of people in rural and
semi urban areas by providing them employment directly and indirectly, including a large
number of women and rural population. Cotton is one of the most important cash crops and
accounts for around 25% of the total global fibre production. The close linkage of

increase in the prices of raw cotton are posing serious challenges to the Textile
