| Thus the Department of Fibres and Textile Processing Technology (FTPT), formerly known as Textile Chemistry section has the unique distinction of being one of the two disciplines (other being Chemical Engineering), with which this institution- ICT (formerly UDCT) started in the year 1933. The Department conducts B.Tech. course with an intake capacity of 34, which is highest among all the B.Tech. courses of ICT. The course involves study of chemistry and manufacture of Fibres, their chemical processing such as bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing. It further encompasses the study of chemistry as well as application of various kinds of chemicals, dyes, thickeners, and finishing auxiliaries which are used in chemical processing of textile fabrics and garments. Textile chemistry also involves knowledge of green chemistry, biotechnology and nanotechnology with special reference to chemical processing of textiles. |

After the globalization of the markets with border less trade, textile manufacturing activities are shifted to country like India which is fast developing economy. Today Textile being one of the fundamental needs of human being, it is a mother industry, next to only agriculture sector, employing over 60 million people. The business is fast growing and will soon touch around US$ 100 Billion. However, in the border less trade many multinational brands are competing and the critical area of chemical processing of textile fabrics and garments requires tremendous amount of consolidation in terms of well trained manpower which can keep pace with latest technological operations and demand of stringent quality parameters in shortest delivery time giving competitive edge to the manufacturers. There is a huge shortage of Textile Processing graduates in the core textile industry as well as in multinational and reputed Indian manufacturers of dyes, chemical and auxiliaries. Thus the scope for graduates and postgraduates of this department is enormous and such a demand with every passing day will only be rising given that consumption of apparels and technical textiles in India and abroad is increasing at galloping rate.
VISION
To be the world class centre of excellence in teaching and research in chemical processing of fibres, textiles, apparels and the key areas of technical textiles with ecological, social and ethical responsibility, meeting the crucial needs of trained man power and technological solutions of Indian textile industry.
MISSION
- To be the leader in offering top class human resources by training them from bachelors to doctorate level degrees in core competence i.e. in chemical processing of fibres, textiles and apparels.
- To train the industrial technicians as per the demands of the industry, upgrading their skill to meet international quality standards.
- To conduct industrially relevant research and provide technical guidance aimed at offering technology solutions and enhancing competitive edge to the industry.
- To offer technological interventions to preserve our rich heritage of the artisans in rural areas in hand looms, khadi and village industry and to strengthen the rural economy by enhancing the use of rural fibres and natural dyes.
- To create awareness of the environment protection and social and ethical commitment in pollution abatement
Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) of Textile Department
