The Department of Apparel and Textile Technology (DATT) of GNDU is working under central government’s National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM), which aims to drive four key components under technical textiles – research, innovation and development; promotion and market development; education, skilling and training; and export promotion.

Varinder Kaur, department head, DATT, GNDU said, “One of the major factors affecting the growth of technical textiles in the country is the lack of quality manpower, specially technically educated and trained engineers and professionals, and highly skilled workmen, both for manufacturing and application areas of technical textiles.”

“Therefore, in order to become a world leader and pioneer in the field of technical textiles in the next decade, India has to lay focused emphasis on creating an effective knowledge and world-class skill ecosystem,” she said.

DATT had previously organised technical textiles conclave in collaboration with Punjab State Council for Science and Technology, CII, Textile Industry Associations of Punjab and Technology Enabling Centre, Panjab University.  (KNN Bureau)
