ALL INDIA POWERLOOM BOARD

Aug. 10, 2020

After the all India handicrafts and handloom boards, the ministry of textiles has disbanded another advisory body — the All India Powerloom Board.

All India Powerloom Board:

The All India Powerloom Board was first constituted as an advisory board in 1981. It was reconstituted for a period of two years in 2013.
It had representatives of central and state governments, Powerloom Federation and was headed by the Union minister of textiles.
The decision to disband the boards follows an assessment that they failed to impact policy-making and became vehicles of “political patronage”
