Work on the proposed Perarignar Anna Handloom Silk Park in Kanchipuram that will employ over 2,000 weavers will commence soon with environmental clearance in sight.
Rajesh NV, Managing Director, Perarignar Anna Handloom Silk Park Limited said, with no objections raised during the public hearing recently, the environmental clearance that stalled the project will be through in another couple of months with the installation of a common effluent treatment plant.
Rajesh said the proposed treatment plant with Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system will ensure environmental safety. The technology was developed by WTT Technologies, Tirupur.
Perarignar Anna Handloom Silk Park was a part of MoUs signed with the State government during the Global Investors Meet last month. The project has got a funding of ₹83 crore through Scheme of Integrated Textile Parks (SITP) and it plans to raise another ₹100 crore via Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS).
Rajesh said, “We are planning to come up with 2,000 upgraded handlooms directly benefiting 2,000-4,000 people.” The park will be operational in three years.
