Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the PM Mitra Park in Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh, as part of the government’s initiative to establish seven integrated textile parks across India. This park is envisioned as a self contained ecosystem that brings together spinning, weaving, processing, designing, and garment production in one location. It also aims to revive the cultural legacy of Maheshwari sarees, inspired by the vision of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar. By linking heritage with modern industry, the park is expected to empower artisans, create employment for rural youth, support farmers with fair cotton pricing, and strengthen India’s global textile competitiveness.
