Tamil Nadu Minister for Tamil Development and Information and Publicity M.P. Saminathan, on Tuesday (March 3, 2026), released a coffee table book, ‘Made in Tiruppur, Every Stitch a Story’ brought out by The Hindu jointly with the Tiruppur Exporters Association and the Tiruppur Corporation.
On the occasion, Mr. Saminathan recalled the upgraded municipal corporation was inaugurated in 2009 by former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and said Tiruppur had since grown despite challenges. From its origins in cotton-based trade, the town had attained international recognition, he said. The book captures the various phases of the district’s growth and would stand as a profile of Tiruppur, he added. Referring to government initiatives such as four-laning projects, a cancer care centre and solid waste management measures, he said further development would be possible with coordination between the government and stakeholders. He also indicated the possibility of a second volume covering more sectors across the district.
