The Northern India Textile Research Association (NITRA) has transferred its advanced technology for testing heat and thermal behaviour of protective textiles to M/s Asian Textile Equipments. Developed under the NTTM-sponsored project, the technology enables comprehensive assessment of convective, radiant, and contact heat, significantly strengthening India’s capabilities in protective textile testing.

Hon’ble Union Minister for Textiles, Shri Giriraj Singh, visited the NITRA campus and reviewed the pioneering Milkweed (Aak) cultivation project led by Dr. M. S. Parmar, Director General, NITRA. During the visit, the Minister dedicated India’s first Manikin Flame Test System to the nation and the textile industry. He lauded NITRA’s groundbreaking research on Milkweed fibre, highlighting its sustainability, industrial adoption, and transformative potential for the textile sector.

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial environment, continuous upskilling and knowledge enhancement are essential for professional excellence. To address emerging technologies and changing industry requirements, NITRA offers a range of specialised training programmes focused on delivering updated technical knowledge, practical skill development, industry-aligned best practices, and sustainable professional growth. These programmes are designed to empower individuals and organisations to remain competitive and future-ready.

NITRA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ruma Devi Foundation on 3 December 2025 to collaborate on sustainable materials, milkweed cultivation, and sourcing of milkweed fibre. The MoU was signed by Dr. M. S. Parmar, Director General, NITRA, and Ms. Ruma Devi, Founder, Ruma Devi Foundation, with a shared vision of promoting rural skill development, community empowerment, and eco-friendly textile initiatives.
