About the training program
Nano-finish is a textile finishing technique that uses nanotechnology to create care-free fabrics. The technique creates fabrics that are highly active and have UV-blocking, antimicrobial, and self-cleaning properties. Nano-finishing is one of the way of value addition of textile fabrics. SKUAST- Kashmir is currently executing Holistic Agriculture Development Program entitled “Promotion of wool and pelt for effective processing and marketing”. Their R&D is one of the inevitable components of the program under that SKUAST-Kashmir intends to develop diversified range of wool and fur-based value-added products. As, ICAR-CIRCOT is having expertise and facilities for nano-finishing of the textile fabrics, so a skill development programs has been decided to conduct for Project team of SKUAST-Kashmir on nano-finishing of the textile fabrics. This is a first of its kind training program on “Nano-finishing of Textile fabrics with particular emphasis on wool”. This training program will benefit both research institutes to grow more together by sharing ideas and experiences.
