So far, no projects have been sanctioned under TUF Scheme for Handloom Sector.
(b): The TUF Scheme for handloom sector is a part of the existing “TUF Scheme for Textile and Jute industriesâ€
of the Ministry of Textiles, therefore, the expenditure would be met from the funds allocated under “TUF Scheme
for Textile and Jute industries†of the Ministry of Textiles.
(c): Under the scheme, the funds will be released, based on the viable proposals received, to the beneficiary
organizations/ banks as the case may be. Hence, state-wise allocation has not been made.
