[ The heart of India is Textiles for me, because you may go anywhere in India people are very much covered with textiles in so may ways and in so many colours that is in different colours and prints of cloth that pleases them.
THE REAL HEART OF INDIA IS ANY OR ALL VILLAGES of INDIA.
THERE ARE 6,66,369 VILLAGES IN INDIA ESTIMATED IN THE YEAR 2019.
Textiles was a mother of all Industry's in India and even now it is the only industry in the country which employes the maximum skilled,unskilled,technical. non technical,all types of Civil.engineering all the commercial,sales,knowledge in accounting and other business in textile industries.
India’s current population in June 2026 is approximately 1.476 billion people, making it the most populous country in the world, surpassing China. This accounts for nearly 18% of the global population.
How much cloth is needed for the populations of all the Villages that are in India.
1)
India had a huge number of Textiles. Many were famous mills were managed by France, Portugal and Britain, who exported their products and sold them in India also.
2)IN India we have 15,733 mills and in 2025 - 26, these mills produced a total of 89.18 billion square meters of cloth valued at nearly (Rs.16.2 lakh crore) for domestic consumption.
3) At present, No mill is shut, but they are all idle with workmen still going to work and getting partial wages. Crores of money are paid with no intention to run the Govt controlled mills.
**However, I tried to start a fully closed mill where I was the General Manager to show that a 100-year-old mill cannot be shut simply because the bureaucrats appointed to run it kept reporting huge losses to their bosses year after year because they did not have the technical expertise to improve operations.

However, I tried to
start a fully closed mill where I was the General Manager to show that a
100-year-old mill cannot be shut simply because the bureaucrats
appointed to run it kept reporting huge losses to their bosses year
after year because they did I think they did not have the technical expertise to improve
operations.
I was only a Spinning Superintendent of a huge 100 year old Textile Mill which had everything that could be spun or owen and even printed and also make yarn from cotton waste,when an ordinence by the Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi's and the GOI in no time sent all and any person was sent to all more than 100 textiles mill to take over and report to the Chairman and branches of all mills in India.
A army officer was asked to take over our mills, he came took rest in a guest house by a governament management guest house and he was met by our mill Factory Manager who told him to come to the mills and need to contact the Mill Director who was in Delhi and need to tell him about his visiting the mills. That is what I know.
I was given Mill Quarters out side the mills and the Army Officer came to the mills the next day and went to the Director's office saw it was vacant and he went inside the mills. I was about to walk to mills when a security man came and told me that a person from Government had come and he is inside the Mill. The Factory Manager and some others were at his back and I cooly joined the group. After completing his rounds he went near the mill office and he told the Factory Manager to bring all Departmetal Head officers of the mills to his office. The Finance Maneger was not present and I came to know he had gone to Delhi to meet the Director.The Gen Magr had resigned previously few days back and his office was vacant.
The person from the army was a Colonel.( He looked Good )
The Factory Manager and all 9 of us went to Colonel's Office ( A huge office built by the earlier Owners of the Mill closed), one by one and we sat down in the 9 chairs.I sat in the middle chair opp to CEO.(the designation of the Colonel by NTC).
The Colonel spoke slowly,camley by introducing himself and told all of us to tell what exactly the work we are doing in the mills.Every one spoke few minutes. I was the Spinning Superintendent but I told him what I was doing in all the mills as my dept production was working in all mill that processd my product. Aftersome more discussions in general the CEO said he is informing him his decision and the meeting was adjourned.
The next day he called me to his office and told me he was appointing me as PRODUCTION MANAGER and can shift my office in his office and also shift my residence to the vacant quarters in the adjacent vacant building of his residence .
I shifted my office to main office and shifted my Residence inside the quarters of the Ex General Manager, his PA's office as my office and sent a Memo to the CEO telling him what I have done,even connecting the Phone to my ofice and Residence.
The CEO being a army man did not say anthing but his PA told me that he was impressed and had reported to the Chairman about he had done and mentioned that his view was yet to be tested.
There was a change in the way persons in all areas of operation looked at me and did not except any change in my duties.
1) I spent all the time in the nook and corner of the mills.
2) The waste spinning mill was never operated and the whole building was in such a way no one wanted to go in. I had seen the mill during my training periods in Bombay,Century Mills which was one of the Mills selected for visit.
3) Visited the huege workers quarters and saw there was no water supply.
4) The Store departement was in a mess and a young uneducated man was in-charge. 5) The Huge Godowns for cotton storage looked something I did not make out.
6) Weaving Department was another area that I thought needed better machine utilization as the whole Dept was working only 2 shift.
7) The packing department needed better lights in some ares.
8) The workers canteen was not well maintained.
9) Open areas in and outside were not well lit in the nights.
10) Even inside the whole Mills the lighting was not good.
