The third component is the National Handloom and Handicraft Programme (NHHP), designed to integrate and strengthen existing schemes while ensuring targeted support for weavers and artisans.

The integrated plan for labour-intensive textiles focuses on employment generation, value-added manufacturing, and global competitiveness, especially in garments, man-made fibres, and technical textiles, accoridng to Seema Srivastava, Senior Research Analyst at SMC Global Securities.
