PREFACE Government Polytechnic, Aurangabad, One of the Oldest Institutes in Maharashtra Was Established in the Year 1955-56 Department of Dress Designing and Garment Mfg. GPA PREFACE Government Polytechnic, Aurangabad, one of the oldest institutes in Maharashtra was established in the year 1955-56. Over the period of time the institute, through its untiring efforts has created its own niche and has been functioning as a Lead Technical Institute in the State of Maharashtra to serve the Industry and Society by producing excellent technical manpower. Government Polytechnic, Aurangabad has expanded quantitatively from an intake of 180 in 1995 with three programmes to 720 Intake in eight programmes. The Institute has been striving relentlessly for achievement of excellence in technical education. Government Polytechnic, Aurangabad has been functioning with ‘the Autonomous Institute status’, since 1994.It is presently functioning in three shifts, by running Diploma Programmes in I Shift (Regular), II shift and Part Time Diploma programmes in evening shift. I am proud to share that , the Institute has been ably rewarded with three state level awards for its best performance in the state of Maharashtra. Institute has revised the curricula five times in the past and the sixth revision which was due, was initiated in the year 2015 and finally , the revised( sixth) curricula which is the outcome of, search conference under the guidance of NITTTR, Bhopal ,several workshops and deliberations, has been implemented with effect from 2017-18 with the approval of Programme wise Board of Studies (PBOS) Board of Studies ( BOS) and consent of Governing Body . The hallmark of sixth revision is, adopting ‘Outcome Based Education Philosophy’ as the basis for Curriculum Design and Development process. The ‘Vision & Mission’ of Institute and programme offering Departments, and with programme Educational Objectives ( PEOs) ,Programme Outcomes as mandated by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) have been considered as points of reference for curriculum revision. Taking into account the need/ demand of industry and society, the courses such as ‘ Vocational Training ( Industrial/ In-plant Training), Seminar and Development of Life Skills for all the programmes have been introduced as compulsory. To accommodate these additional courses and other requirements, the credits of each programme have been enhanced from 184 to 194. ‘Skill India’, ‘Digital India ‘and ‘ Make in India’ the flagship programmes/ initiatives of Government of India and State of Maharashtra have been the basic considerations in the curriculum revision process. I deem this is as an opportune moment to recall the following proverb/quote which I view as highly relevant ,on the occasion of writing the preface. "If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people." – a Chinese proverb & As the Indian Education Commission of 1964-66, also known as the Kothari Commission, it is stated that “The destiny of our country is being shaped in our classrooms”. i Department of Dress Designing and Garment Mfg. GPA I take great pride in appreciating the efforts of Faculty of all Departments. All Faculty have taken determined efforts under the guidance of NITTTR Bhopal, Industry experts , academicians and Curriculum Development & Implementation Cell ( CDIC) in the revision of curricula. I appreciate the contribution of alumni, students and faculty by making valuable suggestions / feedback for the revision of curricula. I wish to assure, that the curriculum of all programmes will be implemented in true spirit to achieve the intended educational objectives of the programme.

GPA SCOPE: The recent Economic Survey 2016-17 of the ministry of finance analyses the growth of the apparel sector, and reveals that there is ample scope for development. The Indian apparel industry can grow considering that China is losing ground due to various factors including a rise in labour wages. However, there are certain factors that are hindering the growth of the sector, which need to be tackled to ensure its unprecedented growth. A Market Intelligence- Fibre2Fashion report. The Economic Survey, the flagship annual document of the ministry of finance, represents the annual economic performance of the Indian economy. It is presented every year in Parliament by the ministry a day before the presentation of the Union Budget. It reviews the performance of key development programmes the policy initiatives of the government, and forecasts the effect of different government initiatives from short term to long term. The apparel sector is growing in India as people are more concerned about their lifestyle and thus, the demand for branded and quality clothes across the country as well as across the globe has gone up. During 2015-16, the apparel sector contributed 42 per cent of the total share in textiles and apparel exports of India. The apparel sector has a huge potential for employment generation especially for women. The apparel sector is the second largest labour intensive sector after footwear. It is dominated by female workers, driving the cause of women empowerment. Women empowerment leads to the development of the country with the growth of the apparel sector.

The fertile soil, mild tempera- ture, and booming production of silk fabric and thread naturally nourished the burgeoning and flourishing of Suzhou embroidery. According to "Shuo Yuan", written by Liu Xiang during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD), the country of Wu (current Suzhou area) has started to use embroidery to decorate garments over 2,000 years ago. As described in the book of "Secret Treasures of Qing," the Suzhou embroi- ders in Song Dynasty (960-1279) used "needles that could be as thin as the hair. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Suzhou has become a thriving center for silk industries and handicrafts. Artists in Wu area, represented by Tang Yin (Bohu) and Shen Zhou, helped the further development of Suzhou embroidery. Embroiders reproduced their paintings using needles. These works were so vivid and elegant as to be called "paintings by needle" or "unmatch- able even by the nature." Since then, Suzhou embroidery evolved a style of its own in needle- work, color plan and pattern.

  • Editorial Calendar 2020
    PRESERVING THE LEGACY OF NEEDLEWORK Editorial Calendar 2020 There are stories to be told, and PieceWork readers want to read them. Whether it’s a personal account of a master knitter (“Bertha Mae Shipley: A Navajo Knitter”) or a well-researched article on the embroidery that adorned alms purses (“Charitably Chic: The Eighteenth-Century Alms Purse”), PieceWork is the place to share these stories. People who care about handwork and who value its past and present role in the ongoing human story are PieceWork magazine’s core audience. PieceWork explores the personal stories of traditional makers and what they made and investigates how specific objects were crafted and the stories behind them. In-depth how-to techniques and step-by-step projects make the traditions come alive for today’s knitters, embroiderers, lacemakers, and crocheters. Beginning with the magazine’s inception in 1993, we have explored numerous needlework traditions and needleworkers. We’ve covered the prosaic—mending samplers—and the esoteric—the Pearly Kings and Queens of London. The stories have been poignant—the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire; inspiring—Safe Return Mittens; and entertaining—Rattlesnake Kate. Beginning with the Fall 2018 issue, PieceWork changed frequency from a bimonthly publication to a quarterly. The biggest bonus with this change was the addition of more editorial pages, allowing us to continue and expand upon PieceWork’s unusual blend of the elements behind a handwork tradition—who did it, how it was done, and why. Future issues will include core sections for techniques, including knitting, lace, embroidery, and crochet. Beyond these sections, there will be a wide variety of other needlework techniques.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Textile Society of America Symposium Proceedings by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. The Changing Politics of Textiles as Portrayed on Somali Postage Stamps Heather Akou When Somalia became an independent nation in 1960, the change in power was celebrated with new postage stamps. Departing from the royal portraits and vague images of "natives" favored by their colonizers, Somalis chose to circulate detailed images of local plants, animals, artisanal products, and beautiful young women in wrapped fabrics. In the early 1960s, these images were fairly accurate representations of contemporary fashions. Over the next twenty years, with a few notable exceptions, these images became more romanticized focusing on the folk dress worn by nomads in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Confronting drought, corruption, and economic interference from the West, dictator Siad Barre (who came to power in a military coup in 1969) longed openly for the "good old days" of nomadic life. As the country became increasingly unstable in the 1980s, leading to the collapse of the national government in 1991, postal depictions of textiles and wrapped clothing became even more divorced from reality: surface patterns unrelated to the drape of the cloth, fabrics that were too thin or wrapped in impossible ways, and styles of dress that were nothing but fantasy.
