ABSTRACT

In india,the unsustainable growth of manufacturing industries poses a major environmental threat nowadays and has been functioning in an unmanageable energy crisis,particularly,the second largest manufacturing sector in a country namely textile sector is affected by both these problems from the last two decades,this industry has been developed very rapidly in various forms like handloom, power loom,textile and spinning, processing,garment and hosiery.as far as the spinning industries are concerned, at the national level,2049 large and medium textile mills are functioning in india.out of these 893 large and medium textile mills are located in tamil nadu.among these 18 are cooperative spinning mills 17 national textile corporation mills and 23 composite mills are important specifically,in tiruppur and its adjacent area called coimbatore regions, there around 10,115 small, medium and large scale industries locatedin its five taluks namely coimbatore (north) coimbatore (south) mettupalayam, sulur, pollachi,In other spinning industrial area namely virudhunagar region of tamil nadu there are 54 spinning mills are functioning.the spinning capacity of these industries is 14.75 million spindles with a labour force of about 2.17 lakhs,nowadays, these textile industries are facing problems like shortage of electricity power and management of air and other pollutions. due to absence of regular supply of electricity,the textile sector in tamil nadu has been affected to a great extent resulting in spinning industries manufacturing yarn, remaining idel.besides this due to the absence of separate standards for spinning industries still there is confusion in putting optimal standards in the regions so that the issue of environmental governance in these regions has become an increasingly important concern. therefore this study is mainly centered on this crucial and sensitive issue and throws lights on the determinants which are important to stipulate the optimal environmental standards and find out the means to maintain the level of energy sfficiency by spinning industries. it is for this purpose the reseachers has taken in to account many derterminnants which are responsible for sustainable environmental development in the six selected  spinning industries in the regions of tiruppur and virudhunagar districts,in which the spinning industries are functioning these determinants used for the basis for enforcement of any legislation for the abatement of pollution and assess the efficiency in energy utilization by the industry. generally in many of the medium level industries there is a lack of infrastructure facilities to handle the pollution and emissions through this study the researcher wants to know the important infra structure facilities that are needed for pollution control and energy utilization for the spinning industries for the sustainable industrial development.
