Reforms aimed at empowering cotton farmers, enhancing transparency and strengthening India’s cotton value chain to take centre stage

The Ministry of Textiles, through the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) and the Central Silk Board (CSB), is organizing 'Reform Utsav 2026' in Hyderabad to showcase reforms in the cotton and sericulture value chains. Key cotton initiatives include digital procurement via the Kapas Kisan platform, quality improvement, traceability, the High-Density Planting System (HDPS), and the Kasturi Cotton Bharat initiative. Additionally, the CSB is highlighting reforms such as the digitisation of Silk Mark services, the 'Mera Resham Mera Abhimaan' (MRMA) technology transfer campaign, and the development of Seri-Tourism hubs. These measures aim to enhance transparency, efficiency, farmer empowerment, and global competitiveness across India's textile sector.
