India’s textile industry dates back to ancient times and has been a thriving sector since then. India prepared to introduce its textile legacy to the global arena with the introduction of sophisticated textile technology. Recognizing the importance of youth in this field, the Indian government, via the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM), sought to close the knowledge gap between academics and industry by providing students with practical experience and industrial exposure. It issued a challenge to those in the industry to rise to the occasion and reclaim India as the global leader in textiles.
The government-industry relationship has resulted in the approval of ColorJet Group, the leading wide-format inkjet printer manufacturer in India, by the NTTM under the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India. This collaboration is a big step in the right direction for the industry’s innovation and skill development. It’s in line with the mission’s goal of making India a global leader in technical textiles by giving BE/B Tech students from the top 200 NIRF-ranked universities internship opportunities.
Our talented R&D team at ColorJet Group will be instrumental in developing the next generation of technical textile engineers and professionals under the auspices of the Technical Textiles Internship Initiative “Grant for Internship Support in Technical Textile (GSIT) – 2.0.” This program, which is a component of Phase II of the Internship Initiation Program, aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry by providing B.Tech. students with exposure to a variety of specializations and real-world experience.
Mr. M.S Dadu, Chairman of ColorJet Group, emphasized the company’s dedication to promoting innovation and skill development and expressed gratitude for being endorsed by the Indian government for this project. He underlined ColorJet’s conviction that India’s youthful talent has the capacity to propel the sector ahead and make a global impact.
Enhancing academia-industry links, offering organized industrial placements, and exposing students to real-world technical problems and managerial abilities are some of the main goals of the Technical Textiles Internship Initiative. Through its involvement in this program, ColorJet Group hopes to introduce students to the latest advancements in technology, as well as the applications and components of quality control unique to technical textile printing.
The participation of ColorJet Group highlights its function in promoting research, development, and innovation in the technical textiles field. The company hopes to make a major contribution to the expansion and worldwide competitiveness of India’s technical textiles sector through this project. The future course of India’s technical textile industry is being shaped in part by ColorJet Group, which is cultivating a culture of innovation and a highly skilled workforce.
Partnerships like the one between ColorJet Group and the Government of India are essential in laying the groundwork for innovation, sustainability, and excellence in this vital industry as India moves closer to becoming a global leader in technical textiles. ColorJet Group is in the vanguard of bringing about revolutionary change in the technical textile’s scene, preparing the next generation of leaders to take India ahead on the international stage.
