AbstractTextile industry is one of the oldest and biggest in India; it employs maximum number of people after agricultural sector. Today it is 2"d highest foreign exchange earner for India after software and services industry. But since the beginning of the industrial era, due to lack of focused approach and adequate planning the industry went on growing as an unorganized sector. Archaic technology, unskilled labour, lack of funds and volatility of price of raw material has prevented this industry from being an efficient one. Huge initial investment in the total production line and rigid labour laws has forced the industry to grow as decentralized sector. In this study, the present scenario of the industry and the factors, which has crippled the Industry, have been investigated. The loophole in the government policy, which has prevented the proper growth and acted as a hindrance of new investment has been pointed out. At the end necessary recommendations have been made to rejuvenate the industry.
