Technological Interventions to transform:
1Promote Parachute, anti size costume → Manmade technical textiles
2Capital and machinery → enhanced productivity
3Use of IoT, sensors → better output at farm level
4Technology → ensure certification and standardization (eg. cashmere cotton) → high value in market
5Increase value addition → currently India's focus more on export of yarn → not fabric
6Modern technology → enhance breathability of fabric (eg. Drytech)
7Competition in export market (eg. with Bangladesh)
