(SHRI PABITRA MARGHERITA)
(a) & (b): The Ministry of Textiles is implementing the "General Guidelines for Enabling of
Academic Institutes in Technical Textiles Education in India: For Private and Public Institutes"
under the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM). The said Guidelines aim to cover a
wider range of institutes for introduction of courses and papers related to different application
areas of technical textiles across the country. Under the ibid Guidelines, a total of 59 courses
have been introduced at the Under Graduate (UG) and Post Graduate (PG) levels. Further, 47
applications from various technical universities and education institutes have been approvedacross the country with a cumulative grant amount of Rs. 216.60 crore for upgrading the
academic infrastructure in the form of Laboratory Equipment and training of faculty.
The scheme is open to eligible education institutes in the Technical Textiles sector across the
country, including those from Nabarangpur Constituency. However, no proposal from the
Nabarangpur Constituency has been received under the aforesaid Guidelines.
(c) & (d): Under NTTM, the Ministry has approved the "General Guidelines for Skill
Development and Training of Candidates in Technical Textiles" for skill upgradation of
industrial manpower. The said Guidelines target training of individuals across four target groups,
namely — undergraduate students; unskilled persons prior to employment; upskilling/reskilling
of already-employed technical manpower; and personnel employed in application areas of
technical textiles.
A wide range of Implementing Agencies (IAs), including Textile Research Associations,
