He said that Panipat is a historic city of weavers, and its textile industry has brought recognition not only to Haryana but to the entire country. Saini said that Panipat is also rapidly emerging as a major food processing hub and keeping in view the demands of various industry organisations, a textile institute will be established, which will provide technical expertise as per international standards. He further stated that on the demand of industry associations, the validity of the Haryana AatmaNirbhar Textile Policy has been extended by one year, up to December 18, 2026.
