We have one of the largest populations in the world and we are also having a very fast growth of per capita income, which means the affordability of buying luxury items is increasing day by day. So, we are in that preparation preparedness to absorb more and more domestic items in the Home textiles. In addition to that we are also becoming more fashionable, more trendy. Certain areas of Home textiles like when you are putting anti-bacterial property or fire retardancy or even water repellent properties, all those becomes technical textiles in their own right, so that is another segment which the government is very much encouraging. So, I would like all the innovations which are happening, they should come more and more and we should develop. We are the hub of the manufactures. We should become even a stronger hub and reach out to all the global markets. The soul and the heart of our country rest with handicrafts, rest with khadi, we have got great kind of sentimental attachment to these products. The artisans that I saw I think they are the best anywhere in the world and the kind of art which they have really requires to be nurtured and requires to be developed because this art can never be replaced in many many years.
