    "content": "THAT Clause 2 of the Bill be amended— (a) by inserting the following new definitions in their proper alphabetical sequence— “collection centre” means centres designated by county governments to serve as buying stations for cotton; “cotton plant” means Gossypium SSP and its varieties; “ginning” means the process of removing cotton seed from the cotton balls; “processing” means the process of value addition to cotton, cotton seed or cotton by-products and includes cleaning, grading, spinning, weaving or knitting; and, “spinning” means the process of producing yarns from extracted cotton fibre; (b) by deleting the definition of “Cotton industry” and substituting therefor the following new definition— “Cotton industry” includes growers, ginners, spinners, cotton value addition industries and marketers. We are proposing some definitions because some words used in the Bill have not been defined. Marketers have played a pivotal role in the industry and it is, therefore, important to include the definition for the same. I propose adopting the Committee's recommendations on the definitions captured in the Order Paper."
