ABSTRACT
The textile and fashion industry is a major contributor to several national economies, including both small-and large-scale processes globally. With concern to the employment as well as production, the textile sector is one of the prime industries in the world (Abernathy 2004). The garment sector is a labour-oriented one and provides enormous job opportunities at the entry level for unskilled labour in developed as well as developing nations. Further, it is a sector where comparatively modern technologies could be implemented even in poor countries at moderately low investment costs (Ashdown 1998).
