TEXTILE RESEARCH CENTRE.

Why textile research centre?

Surat being one of the greatest textile hubs in state & Country has a
wide exploration in field of textile industry and so are its

Aim:

Site Justification:
Site is surrounded by Textile Market, Nawab ni wadi & Chawl which creates a
hub for the textile which creates a hub for the textile dealers, manufacturers
and easy to access.

Client:
MANTRA (Man Made Textile Research Association) is one of the eight
National Textile Research Associations (TRAs) and the leading TRA in manmade fibres, linked to the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, and
recognized as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) by
Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Ministry of Science and
Technology, Government of India.
Resettlement Of the Institute which is presently Situated at Piplod.

Intent of the Project:

Mantra was set up with a view to carry out research and development
activities as well as to provide testing and technical service facilities to the
man-made fibre textiles industry, in particular, and other allied industries, in
general, in South Gujarat.
To serve the local textile industry more effectively, MANTRA keeps close
liaison with the industry around, in general, and the five leading local cooperative textile societies, in particular, viz.,
(a) The Surat Art Silk Cloth Manufacturers Association (SASCMA)
(b) The Surat Vankar Sahkari Sangh Ltd.
(c) The SASME Co-operative Society Ltd.
(d) The Udhna Group of Weavers Producers Co-operative Society Ltd.

(e) The South Gujarat Processors Association.

With the same aim to help textile grow forward and increase its perfection
and Quality this project has been set up by me to take one step ahead the
textile industry and this will not only
effect textile industry of
surat but also the economy of Surat as Surat has its 45% dependency on
textile business.

Literature Review:
Mantra having a set up in Surat has its branches located in different areas of
Surat which were set up as funded by the organizations/government; so it is
a little bit troublesome job to run from one place to another as MANTRA not
only does the research work but also has a short crash course which teaches
the students giving them knowledge for textile industry, its research and
other topics related to textile so according to me it should have a location
where all the functions of MANTRA unite to have a hub and workability.

Types Of Testing Carried Out In Textile Research Labs:

Mechanical testing.

Chemical testing.

Analytical testing.

Technical textile testing.

Nonwovens testing.

Environmental testing.

Eco testing.

CASE STUDY:
ATIRA (AHMEDABAD
ASSOCIATION)

TEXTILE

INDUSTRYS

RESEARCH

ATIRA is an autonomous non-profit association for textile research. It is

the largest of its kind in India for textile and allied industries.

ATIRA was established on 13th December 1947, and started in 1949

after due recognition by the Council of Scientific and Industrial
Research under the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of
India. Later it was linked to the Ministry of Textiles.

ATIRA is located in Ahmedabad, 900 km South West of New Delhi and

500 km North of Mumbai.

It is well connected by air, rail and roads.

The ATIRA campus is surrounded by other major educational

institutions such as Gujarat University, PRL, L.D. Engineering College,
IIM and AMA

Vision :

ATIRA to be a river organization in which every individual will deliver

care and commitment in exchange or the fact that ATIRA will do its
best to help each one to develop his potential to the maximum.
Mission :
ATIRA, therefore, should be an organization that instead of refining
what
it
already
has
will
continuously
improve
and
enhance its ability to create what does not already exist.
