HON’BLE VICE PRESIDENT OF INDIA SHRI C.P. RADHAKRISHNAN VISITS TIRUPPUR

For the first time after assuming office, Hon’ble VICE PRESIDENT Shri. C.P. Radhakrishnan visited Tiruppur, his hometown on 29th October, 2025. The People’s Forum of Tirupur organized a Felicitation Ceremony in honour of Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan, Hon’ble Vice President of India, at Tirupur. Our mentor and guru, Honorary Chairman of our Association, Padmashri. Dr. A. Sakthivel delivered the Welcome Address in the august gathering.

It is indeed a moment of great pride for all of us that our Honorary Chairman Padmashri. Dr. A. Sakthivel had the unique privilege of being the sole representative to deliver the welcome address on behalf of all Textile Associations, the Apparel Industry, and the entire Tirupur District People’s Forum.

Hon’ble Vice President, a senior member of our Association, during his address recollected his life as an exporter. He said that while he was exporting to Bangla Desh, he never had plans of being a full time Politician. He advised the participants that everyone must work towards betterment of the society they live in. With regard to the recent tariff hike for Indian goods by President of United States, he mentioned that the Government of India was negotiating with the Government of United States to bring an amicable solution to this problem. He hoped that the value of apparel export from Tiruppur to United States of America would DOUBLE within the next few years.

I had the honour of presenting a memento along with our Honorary Chairman Padmashri. Dr. A. Sakthivel to Hon’ble VICE PRESIDENT of India Shri. C.P. RADHAKRISHNAN on behalf of our Association.
