The Textile Sector Skill Council (TSSC) is planning to include at least 110 more textile units in India, which will provide employable skills to those wanting to join the industry. Right now, TSSC has some 240 textile units as training providers. These include spinning and composite mills. The new units to be brought under the training program include firms figured in the entire textile production chain. Around two lakh inductees would be given skills training in the textile industry during the current fiscal.

TSSC, incorporated in 2014, is committed to developing world class skilled manpower for all segments of textile manufacturing starting from spinning to fabric finishing. This includes the organised mill sector, powerloom industry and handlooms. It defines the skill requirements of the industry. It imparts training to workers on state of the art technologies. It’s expected that in the next 10 years, more than 500 textile mills will be affiliated to TSSC as training partners.

TSSC is an industry-driven non-profit organisation set up under the National Skill Development Corporation and governed by 14 major textile industry associations and export promotion councils. It works with various textile research associations.
