Decentralised powerloom sector is the major fabric producer and employment provider in our country. Govt. of India, Ministry of Textiles has been supporting this sector in various ways by providing different financial schemes for modernisation, growth and development. One major such support is establishment of Powerloom Service Centres (PSCs) to provide technical and other guidance to this sector. These centers are spread all over the country at various clusters of powerlooms. These PSCs are operated by various agencies and Government. ATIRA is also administering three PSCs situated at Ahmedabad, established in July 1987, at Dholka in November 2000 (handed over by MANTRA, Surat) and at Indore in April 2003 (shifted from Jaipur, Rajasthan).
