In her address to the participants, Irani complimented the CMAI for “going from strength to strength” and for “being the foremost association in the domestic sector”. The minister cited the conversion of the NGF to a digital format as one more example of CMAI’s commitment to innovation, change, and adaption to changing needs of the market.
She also reiterated that the ministry of textiles was there to support the growth of the domestic sector as much as it is for expanding the growth of India’s exports.
Textiles secretary Ravi Capoor described CMAI as “one of the pillars of the domestic garment industry”, and complimented CMAI for its adaption of technology and change. He stressed that the digital fair will help revive the sector from its current crisis, and was confident that the revival would undoubtedly happen.
