Corporate195933 sections

This statute provides for the establishment, governance, and operation of a dedicated statutory board to promote and develop traditional handspun cloth and rural industries across the state of Tamil Nadu. It applies to government officials, board members, staff, cooperatives, and rural artisans engaged in cottage industries throughout the state. The statute regulates the board's administrative framework, financial management, budgeting, audit procedures, loan distributions, and scheme implementations. This law matters because it strengthens the rural economy by generating home-based employment opportunities, preserving traditional craftsmanship, and providing structured financial and logistical support to local producers.
