Quality talk: Collector J. Umamaheswari addressing a workshop in Karur on Monday. KARUR: The Textiles Committee has submitted a study to the Central Government on preventing impurities in cotton in a bid to maintain the quality all through the chain from raw material to finished textile product. The system, when accepted and implemented, would enable the Committee to grade ginning factories and the cotton they process, according to Secretary, Textiles Committee, Pradeep Gupta. Inaugurating a national workshop on “Building competitiveness through quality” organised by the Textiles Committee here on Monday, Mr. Gupta observed that the assessment and grading of ginning and pressing units has been done after the Centre commissioned the Committee as a project under the Technical Mission on Cotton towards upgrading cotton generics. Under the system the generics would be assessed of how devoid they were of “trash and contamination,” the main impurities, he said. The issue of keeping out impurities from the process chain had to be addressed to improve the marketability, Mr. Gupta pointed out. The gradation system, which he hastened to add was only under the consideration of the Central Government and was not being implemented yet, was voluntary in nature by which he meant that the ginning and pressing units could also opt to remain out of the gradation system. Gradation systemUnder the gradation system the Textiles Committee, which would also function as the accreditation agency, would accord three, two and single star status to the mills opting to adhere to guidelines and set principles of processing cotton. District Collector J. Umamaheswari observed that quality and textiles went together. Quality had to be given the priority to improve marketability in a gloablised market, Dr. Umamaheswari said. Exporters should recognise the importance of branding and quality that they should adhere to certain standards to make a mark. Quality control also meant accountability in societal requirements such as addressing pollution-related issues. Karur Textile Forum president M. Sivakkannan said that for all manufacturers quality has become the main parameter. The manufacturers’ very existence was based on quality, he reminded the exporters. Director, Textiles Committee, S. Ulaganathan, Deputy Director V. Velmurugan, president of the Karur Textile Manufacturer Exporters’ Association V. Kumar and others spoke.
