WAZED ALI 63 SleepSafe: Develop Safe Habit of Sleeping Krishna Kumar Baheti 3 CMYK 4 CMYK Editorial It is utmost joy and pleasure to release the 2016 edition of TANTU on the occasion of fourth TANTU seminar on Technical Textiles organised by the north India section of alumni association of textile technocrats from Calcutta University. While we are proud to consolidate our effort in in addressing the untouched and unorganized ‘manufactured textile market’, I would like to thank the speakers to support our maiden effort on coming together in a platform to discuss the ‘secret sauce’ of this value added segment. Although it is estimated that the market size for technical textile sector and it’s products (all 12 categories together) will grow from $ 9.43 bn in 2011-12 to $23.66 bn in 2018-19, there is no breakup available about roll goods and manufactured products in India’s technical textile sector. From the category wise break up it is clear that roll goods dominate the share. By the roll goods sector I mean the specialty fabric and raw materials commonly manufactured in 2D shape, and by manufactured sector consists of cut-n-join or 3D manufacturing of products for immediate customer use. Following the example from traditional textile sector it can very well be assumed that roll goods sector of technical textiles are the organized one and the manufactured sector of technical textiles are still the unorganized ones. While the daylong seminar will bring together who’s who in the manufactured technical textile sector, especially from Meditech and Protech, this magazine also put together their thoughts about the market, business challenges and innovative products. With Meditech and Protech is poised to reach a paltry $853 mn and $794 mn respectively by 2018-19, there is serious concern having no special focus of Government to these value added sectors. While meditech is going to get traction from increase in wellness expenditure, the Protech is likely to find mutil-stakeholder in manufacturing, services (like cold chain) and defense modernization. The scratching of the surface of manufactured sector reveals some interesting trends like Maharashtra is the popular destination for both Meditech and Protech, while Kolkata continues to share a sizable chunk in Protech. While fashion garment manufacturing proliferated through growth of natural clusters (though illogical) like Bangalore, Delhi, Tirupur, Ludhiana, Chennai, Mumbai, it is to be seen whether Government intervention (read textile parks) can shape up a logical growth in manufactured technical textiles sector? An article on Odisha is particularly important due to the new found interest of textile and apparel manufacturing sector in that state and the recent spate of state sponsored meet to attract investors. We at TANTU have reached another important milestone in starting our website www.tantutextile.com hoping for better and dynamic engagement with industry. Last but not the least I would like to thank our spouses and children for their support notwithstanding the agony and tolerance for all the late comings and meetings. DR.

  • Odisha District Gazetteers Nabarangpur
    ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR DR. TARADATT, IAS CHIEF EDITOR, GAZETTEERS & DIRECTOR GENERAL, TRAINING COORDINATION GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ii iii PREFACE The Gazetteer is an authoritative document that describes a District in all its hues–the economy, society, political and administrative setup, its history, geography, climate and natural phenomena, biodiversity and natural resource endowments. It highlights key developments over time in all such facets, whilst serving as a placeholder for the timelessness of its unique culture and ethos. It permits viewing a District beyond the prismatic image of a geographical or administrative unit, since the Gazetteer holistically captures its socio-cultural diversity, traditions, and practices, the creative contributions and industriousness of its people and luminaries, and builds on the economic, commercial and social interplay with the rest of the State and the country at large. The document which is a centrepiece of the District, is developed and brought out by the State administration with the cooperation and contributions of all concerned. Its purpose is to generate awareness, public consciousness, spirit of cooperation, pride in contribution to the development of a District, and to serve multifarious interests and address concerns of the people of a District and others in any way concerned. Historically, the ―Imperial Gazetteers‖ were prepared by Colonial administrators for the six Districts of the then Orissa, namely, Angul, Balasore, Cuttack, Koraput, Puri, and Sambalpur. After Independence, the Scheme for compilation of District Gazetteers devolved from the Central Sector to the State Sector in 1957.

  • 16 Textiles in Defence* Richard a Scott Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency, Science and Technology Division, Flagstaff Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS, UK
    16 Textiles in defence* Richard A Scott Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency, Science and Technology Division, Flagstaff Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS, UK 16.1 Introduction To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving Peace (George Washington, 1790)1 Defence forces on land, sea, or air throughout the world are heavily reliant on tech- nical textiles of all types – whether woven, knitted, nonwoven, coated, laminated, or other composite forms. Technical textiles offer invaluable properties for military land forces in particular, who are required to move, live, survive and fight in hostile environments. They have to carry or wear all the necessities for comfort and sur- vival and thus need the most lightweight, compact, durable, and high performance personal clothing and equipment. The life-critical requirements for protecting indi- viduals from both environmental and battlefield threats have ensured that the major nations of the world expend significant resources in developing and providing the most advanced technical textiles for military use. 16.2 Historical background Military textile science is not new, and one of the earliest documented studies can probably be credited to Count Rumford, or Benjamin Thompson. Rumford was an American army colonel and scientist who issued a paper in 1792 entitled ‘Philo- sophical Transactions’, which reported on the importance of internally trapped air in a range of textile fabrics to the thermal insulation provided by those fabrics.2 He was awarded the Copley Medal for his paper, as the significance of his discovery was recognised immediately. * Copyright MOD (1997) DCTA, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS 426 Handbook of technical textiles 16.2.1 Pre-Twentieth century Up until the end of the 19th century military land battles were fought at close quar- ters by individual engagements.

  • ALDI Textiles
    ALDI Textiles ALDI Textiles Guideline 2 Aloe Vera. Recognises the demand all on its own. A Aloe vera micro capsules are attached to the textile fibres using a binder. The friction from wearing causes the microcapsules to burst and release the moisturising substance. The advantage of the microcapsules is the fact that the encapsulated substance is only released when the fabric is mechanically stressed. Through the addition of the aloe vera capsules, the garment hydrates and moisturises the skin. Anti-Pilling. Reduces pilling. A Anti-pilling is a special finishing process for reducing the formation of pilling, meaning lint, in predominantly synthetic materials. This is primarily achieved through a mechanical process or heat treatment. ALDI Textiles Guideline 3 Breathable. Keeps you dry and keeps moisture away. B Breathable fabrics are defined as textiles which possess certain physiological properties which above all wick moisture away from the skin. Such materials may also be water-resistant and therefore protect against rain. See also: Cool & Fresh, COOLMAX® ALDI Textiles Guideline 4 Cotton. The all-rounder among textiles. C Cotton is derived from the soft seed hair of the cotton plant. The plant thrives in countries with a sub-tropical climate, such as the USA, Egypt, India, and South Africa, and in terms of volume is one of the most important raw textiles materials in the world. The quality of cotton wool is dependent on its fineness, strength, fibre length and consistency.

Village industries and handlooms were well integrated into the rural economy and the whole organisation was a part and parcel of socio-cultural fabric of the society. The social traditions, ethos and values were reflected in the handloom products. The handloom products, which have survived against the competition from machine made cloth, represent the rich artistic traditions of our country. Globalised economy has contributed to the ever-increasing competition among the developing nations. Due to this, the traditional crafts of the country are under threat from the neighboring countries by way of replication of the traditional items.
