Rehabilitation measures taken by the Government

To provide financial assistance to the workers of permanently closed private sector textile mills, Government has introduced the Textile Workersâ€™ Rehabilitation Fund Scheme (TWRFS). This Scheme is implemented by the Office of the Textile Commissioner, Mumbai in co-ordination with the concerned State Government/Workersâ€™ Union/Official Liquidator /Provident Fund Commissioner etc. It provides an interim relief for an interim period of 3 years on a tapering basis. Out of the above 87 closed mills, 12 mills are covered under the TWRFS and have been disbursed an amount of Rs. 63.29 cores and out of 37 mills closed in Tamil Nadu, 3 mills are covered under TWRFS and disbursed an amount of Rs. 6.06 crores. The cooperative and public sectors have the separate sets of rehabilitation measures and are, therefore, not covered under the TWRFS.

For the sick mills which may or may not be closed, the Government has set up the Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) under Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act with a view to arranging the timely detection of sick and potentially sick companies and for the speedy determination of preventive, ameliorative and remedial measures which need to be taken in respect of such companies. BIFR appoints operating agencies for preparation of rehabilitation proposals in respect of potentially viable units. The decision on rehabilitation is taken by BIFR based on its findings. Out of the above 87 closed cotton / man-made fibre textile mills, 30 textile cases have been registered with BIFR (as on 31/05/2005). Out of the 37 textile mills closed in Tamil Nadu, 12 textile cases have been registered with BIFR as on 31/05/2005. The status of the cases under BIFR as on 31.05.2005 is as below:-

Sr.	Status	Tamil Nadu	All India
No.	Private sector	Private Sector	Public Sector
