Agro-textile demonstration
India has set up a demonstration farm in Navsari, Gujarat, to showcase the use of agro-textiles, especially protective nets. The project has been developed at a cost of Rs. 4 crore. Another demonstration facility is currently being developed at Pusa in Bihar under the National Technical Textiles Mission, according to Mission Director Ashok Kumar Malhotra.
Malhotra stated that production is gaining pace across several of the 12 key segments of technical textiles, particularly agro-textiles, geo-textiles, and industrial textiles. He noted that the use of value-added agro-textile nets made in India is steadily increasing across different parts of the country.
He also mentioned that the Mission is open to setting up a similar demonstration farm in southern India, provided an agricultural university from the region submits a suitable proposal.
