2. Technical Textiles offers a huge opportunity in India for both local consumption as well as for exports. Indian Technical
textile market is spade across all twelve segments. The domestic consumption has seen high growth of 15 % per annum.
To facilitate the growth of this industry in India, the office of Textile Commissioner, Ministry of Textiles, Government of
India has announced different schemes to promote Technical Textiles in India as a part of Technology Mission on
Technical Textiles. Thus, various Centres of Excellence (CoE) in different segments of Technical Textiles have been created
with the objective of providing infrastructure at one place for the convenience of the manufacturers of technical textiles
in India. Our institute has been designated as Centre of Excellence in Nonwovens and Govt. of India, Ministry of Textiles
has sanctioned Rs. 24.5 Crores to set-up and establish this very prestigious project of CoE in Nonwovens

The genesis and growth of the institute was a sequel to the intense desire and support from the powerful co-operative
sector. Keeping in view the fabric of social responsibility, Mr. K. B. Awade, Former Member of Parliament, founded D.K.T.E.
Society's Textile and Engineering Institute at Ichalkaranji in 1982. Ichalkaranji town, popularly known as 'Manchester of
Maharashtra is located 29 km from Kolhapur City and is one of the prominent centres of decentralized textile sector of
India. It is close to rail and bus terminals.
