He appealed the trainees to make the best use of the training and to equipped themselves with the knowledge and to help in producing quality products.
The chairman further stated that an e-catalogue has been produced since most of the products are being sold online this days.
In view of the upcoming festive season, planning are underway to introduce discount schemes to attract more customers, he added.
He also released a handbook enlisting activities and achievements of MHHDCL during 2020-2021 .
Managing Director, K Lamlee Kamei said that the training programme is production oriented to ensure that the trainees are skilful enough to continue working in the Apparel & Garment Making Centre.
A stipend of Rs 300 will be given to the trainees based on the attendance and their conduct, he added.
He continued that the production training will also be conducted side by side and the products of MHHDCL are sold at Panthoibi.com and Paonamart at a discounted rate of 40 percent.
Owing to this many purchase the products from online however the same products are sold at higher rates in markets leading to a situation of more sellers than the weavers, he said.
To overcome such situation, a Powerloom Estate has been opened next to the Apparel and Garment Making Centre for continuous supply of clothes and garments.
