Representing Surat in the 17th Lok Sabha, Darshana Jardosh is Minister of State for Textiles and Railways and serves her third term as a parliamentarian. Surat has been her political bastion, beginning her political journey as a corporator in 2000 and since 2009, she has been representing the Lok Sabha constituency.

As the textile minister, she has been vocal about internationalising the Indian technical textile industry. Various initiatives such as Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, HSN Codes, and the National Technical Textiles Mission are providing the necessary boost to the Indian textile industry.

She sees India’s G20 Presidency as strengthening its textile, apparel, and merchandising industry.
