Foundation was laid for the construction of a hi-tech textile training centre at Bandalli village in Yadgir, identified as one of the backward districts of Karnataka by the Nanjundappa Committee.
The training centre would come up on five acres of land at the village which will involve an investment to the tune of Rs. 13 crore and likely to be completed within one year.
The training would be provided to eligible candidates to enable them to get jobs in the proposed textile park which would be established in 1,000 acres of land in the Kadechur-Badiyal industrial hub in the district shortly.
The state government is already in the process of establishing textile park which is expected to improve condition of cotton farmers and weavers, and also create employment for a large number of people.
In addition, the government is also planning to develop smaller textile parks at different places in Ballari, Chamarajanagar and Vijayapura districts, official sources said.
