The study would focus on detailed field-level interactions with central agencies.

The field study would be conducted through structured questionnaire and checklists at the cluster level on a pan-India basis, the office of the Textile Commissioner said. The four schemes whose performance will be evaluated are PowerTex India, Converged Group Insurance, Revised Comprehensive Powerloom Cluster Development and North East Region Textile Promotion Scheme that are in place till March 2020, according to a report.
