President Rahmon also inaugurated a sewing and carpet-weaving workshop in the village of Dalyoni Bolo, established with the support of local entrepreneurs. The facility has created 30 permanent jobs and manufactures school uniforms as well as men’s, women’s, and sportswear based on market demand.
The President described the launch of the industrial facilities as an important contribution to the government’s fourth strategic objective of increasing domestic production, reducing reliance on imports, generating employment, and accelerating industrial development.
