Abstract
The textile industry in India stands as a crucial agro-based sector that significantly contributes to the national gross domestic product. Tamil Nadu serves as a key hub where the textile industry has flourished in various areas of the Tiruppur District. This sector encompasses different segments including the composite, weaving, spinning, mill, handloom, and power loom sectors, among others. The handloom and power loom sectors are distributed across multiple locations within the Tiruppur District. This industry encounters several challenges. The resolution of these issues and the potential for improvement depend largely on the collaborative efforts of business owners, workers, and government entities. The researcher has chosen to conduct this study to identify the issues and propose potential solutions. The aim of this research is to analyze the various challenges experienced by this sector. The hypotheses focus on the difficulties and opportunities within the industry. The investigation is founded on a sample comprising 165 textile units, including 141 from small enterprises, 8 from medium-sized businesses, and 6 from large establishments. The researcher utilized the Chi-Square Test to assess the hypotheses. The study relies on primary data, and the Chi-Square Test is employed to determine if there is a significant discrepancy in the perspectives of the different respondent groups.
