A noble and non-profit making body, the Club epitome’s democratic principles in its administration are being manned by an elected team of office bearers and nominated executive body. It was the vision for mutual progress that brought together the Knitwear and allied industries which is more than 100 years old and holds the title of “Mother Industry” to a common platform. A humble beginning with 11
0 members to a patronage of 700 direct members is anything but evidence of club’s achievement. A noble and non-profit making body, the club epitome’s democratic principles in its administration are being manned by an elected team of office bearers and nominated executive body. Contributing to the dedicated growth of knitwear industry, problems related to economic, technical and commercial issues are taken up with respective government agencies. Representation and recommendation on the behalf of entire knitwear / textile industries is another privilege of the knitwear club. Knitwear Club proposes to impart training in Knitwear/Textile segment i.e. Apparel/Garments thru holding seminars, lectures, training programmes, exhibitions and workshops. The Club intends to create a force of skilled and unskilled workers to reform the fortunes of youth particularly those belonging to below poverty line families. We have got spacious premises and necessary infrastructure for the purpose of utilizing it as a training centre to impart training to the unemployed youth. Going in retrospect, we observe that the path has never been smooth. The industry had to pass through many obstacles, prevarications, and evasiveness. But there was a rosy side to this scenario also. We had the advantage of getting whole hearted co-operation and guidance from some highly competent, knowledgeable, firm and determined officers who have always been sympathetic to the cause of the knitwear/textile industry. The Club has successfully completed the tenure of 25 years and celebrated the silver jubilee with full enthusiasm. The functioning of Knitwear Club strengthens our belief in homogeneity of thoughts and actions and reminds us of Mr. Henry Ford who said “Coming together is beginning, keeping together is progress and working together is success”.
