   Multi Stakeholder Initiative Tamil Nadu (MSI-TN) was formed towards fostering cooperation and partnership among stakeholders, which includes suppliers, NGOs, trade unions and government. The main objective of MSI-TN is ensuring fair, ethical, and sustainable labour practices in the garment and textile industries across Tamil Nadu.

   MSI-TN was born out of a need for addressing human rights abuses in the supply chain, which include: forced labour, child labour, discrimination, sexual harassment, underpayment of wages and irregular deductions, and excessive working hours.

   State level institutional mechanisms for asserting fair labour practices are ineffective. MSI-TN aims to fill the gap. Recognizing the role of business and its importance in contribution of sustaining livelihoods, the MSI-TN intends creating open dialogue and discussion between all stakeholders, including businesses.

It is used as an invaluable tool for building on crucial knowledge. Research is the most reliable way SAVE uses to understand the complexities of various issues and to maintain integrity. It is used to pursue an in-depth and deep original study about the complexities of various issues. The applied benefits of research are two-fold: first, it provides a means to enhance the knowledge base; and secondly, it provides a spring board to collaborate with relevant stakeholders in finding sustainable solutions for the problems..
