The document discusses the role of export promotion councils (EPCs) in promoting exports from the Indian textile industry. It finds that while large export houses are satisfied with EPC services like trade fairs, small companies are less satisfied as they receive less attention. EPCs work to project India's image abroad and encourage adherence to international standards. Membership provides exporters access to market opportunities and recognition to expand and diversify exports. Overall, EPCs help increase textile exports, though small businesses require more support to fully benefit.
