Shri Mohd. Seraj Ansari
Chairman

Friends, it is a matter of great privilege for me, as I stand before the society as the Founder & Chairman/President of the All India Momin Ansar Welfare Society - AIMAWS, the AIMAWS has been formed and started its activities since 28th of July 1990 from Faizabad state of Uttar Pradesh, India, and finally its headquarter's office has been shifted to Lucknow the capital of Uttar Pradesh. I consider myself singularly fortunate that the honour of presiding over the Golden Meet of our Ithepo should be bestowed on me.

I feel extremely humbled, it is a proud moment for all of us that Ithepo is the first Export Promotion Organization in India is going to take responsibility to promote exports possibilities throughout the world for textiles, handicrafts and handlooms exports products from the country, which they are struggling hard to get market in the world and reasonable price of the products and change to get good labour cost of weavers from suppliers, manufactures or related to the industry.

Economic Scenario of the society:

The Indian Economy has performed reasonably well in year by year, but, it is unfortunate that the momin ansari community is involved in exports and domestic businesses like; textiles, and handicrafts, garments, carpets, apparels etc. and many other industries, which effects Indian Economy, but our comunnity is not getting self respects, governments attention, economic reformations, global exposures, technogical collaboration in the industry, research & development in the industry, better education, financial help etc., etc., to the society, while these community is fully dedicated to the nation and working for the nation economy.

Our community can do the best of its ability if they get more and more facilities from the government and its allied departments as the other industry peoples are getting from the governments, and its allied departments, the AIMAWS is found that the backwardness of the society and these industries are lacking with good education, which is giving negative effects amongst to the society, otherwise, it can become a very important role amongst the society and industry.

The AIMAWS has its commitment to give them opportunity to get better education, self-respects, better life by implementing all aims and objectives of the society by all means as soon as possible. so that they can make a place in the country as well as global market, which also benefits our country's economy.

The time has now come to act on the available information and focus on a dynamic implementation strategy so that India can benefit from the emerging free trade regime in the textiles, handicrafts and handlooms exports and clothing sector and gain its rightful place under the sun.

Acknowledgements:

Before I conclude, let me take this opportunity to place on record my sincere thanks on behalf of the Ithepo and members of the Committee of Administration society for their unstinted support and guidance through various policy initiatives to make the sector vibrant.

Thank you.
