Revamping the Knitwear Cluster in Tirupur – A Bold initiative towards Sustainable Development
Authors
Abstract
The rapid growth of the knitwear industry in Tirupur has led to the depletion and contamination of the ground and surface water in the region. The study outlines the pollutant effects of the knitwear production process and the efforts of the industry and the government to curtail them. Despite appreciable efforts taken, the problems still seem to persist. This article suggests measures to revamp the knitwear cluster through application of greener practices which would lead to the development of this knitwear industry in a more sustainable way.
