Q. "INDIAsize project", recently seen in the news, is an initiative of which ministry?
Answer:
Ministry of Textiles
Notes: The government is set to launch the 'INDIAsize' initiative to establish standardized body measurements suited for Indian body types. Currently, international and domestic brands in India use US and UK size charts, which differ from Indian body structures, causing fitting issues. INDIAsize, led by the Ministry of Textiles, aims to resolve these disparities by creating standard sizes for Indian consumers. The project will collect data from 25,000 Indians aged 15 to 65 using 3D body scanning technology. This size chart will help brands produce better-fitting garments, balancing demand and supply for well-fitted clothes in India.
