The  Haryana Government has decided to set up a Hosiery Cluster at village Darbi in district Sirsa and initially, the Central Government would spend Rs six crore to develop this cluster.
       While stating this today, an official spokesman said that  under this scheme, a   building would also be constructed in the village and under Backward Regions Grant Fund, an amount of Rs 60 lakh would be spent on it.  He said that as a group, about 120 people of the village would make sweaters, shirts and uniforms and village Darbi would set itself as an example of  small industry, especially of hosiery industry.
       He said that about 11 years ago two persons had started this hosiery business. All the beneficiaries of the scheme  belong  to Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes and it is the first group of its kind in the country. He said that Ministry of Micro,  Small and Medium Enterprises has given green signal for setting up of hosiery cluster in the village  and this has  become possible only because of  the initiative taken by Haryana Industry and Commerce department.
 He said that  setting up of such small scale industries would  promote industrialization. He said that district Sirsa produces 40 per cent of the total cotton produced in the state and this area is famous as cotton belt in the country.
       MP from Sirsa Dr Ashok Tanwar said that the machines to be installed by Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises  would be of modern technology and the clothes produced would be of high quality. At government and private level, the  textiles would be marketed through tenders and other mediums which would prove beneficial for the people working in this industry.
