Under the flagship programme National Technical Textiles Mission, the Ministry of Textiles (MoT) has approved 20 important projects totaling Rs. 30 crore in the fields of speciality fibres and geotextiles (NTTM).
The project was approved in a meeting presided over by Union Textiles Minister Piyush Goyal. Sixteen of the 20 research projects involve specialised fibres, including five in healthcare, four in industrial and protective applications, three in energy storage, three in textile waste recycling, one in agriculture, and four in geotextiles (infrastructure).
Various leading Indian institutes, centres of excellence, and government organisations, including IITs, DRDO, and BTRA, among others, took part in the session, which approved projects that are strategic for the development of the Indian economy and a step toward Atmanirbhar Bharat, particularly in the healthcare, industrial and protective, energy storage, textile waste recycling, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors.
"Building convergence with academics, scientists, and researchers is the need of the hour," Piyush Goyal stated to the distinguished group of Scientists and Technical Technologists. The focus should be on developing a structure of brainstorming around issue statements and focusing on worldwide high value-added goods.
Furthermore, recruiting big research initiatives in the country necessitates inter-ministerial collaboration." Last year, the MoT approved 11 research projects totaling Rs. 78.60 crore.
