The Textile Puzzle

Cloth production has been lagging behind Plan targets and the Per capita availability has also been on the decline. The annual average for the last three years (1980-83) works out to only 14.36 metres (10.44 metres of cotton cloth and 3.92 metres of blended and manmade fibre fabrics). This is well below the 1964 figure of 16.83. metres (15.21 metres of cotton cloth and 1.62 metres of other fabrics).
