About the Institute
Background of Institute
In olden days Indian Handloom Industry was not having trained technical personnel and was solely dependent on the expertise and knowledge passed on from generation to generation for its survival and development. It was in this context that the Government of India decided to set up Indian Institutes of Handloom Technology with the prime objective of providing technical personnel trained in new methods and latest development in the field of Handloom to enable the Handloom industry to face the challenges from other sector of the Textile Industry. The first Indian Institute of Handloom Technology was established in 1956 at Varanasi by taking over the Central Weaving Institute, Varanasi. The second Institute was established in 1960 at Salem in Tamil Nadu by taking over the Government Textile Institute at Madras and shifting the same to Salem, one of the important Handloom Weaving Centers in southern India. At present there are six Indian Institutes of Handloom Technology in the Central Sector and four Institutes in State Sector.
The Central Sector Institutes are located at
· Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh (Estd. In 1956)
· Salem in Tamil Nadu (Estd. In 1960)
· Guwahati in Assam (Estd. In 1982)
· Jodhpur in Rajasthan (Estd. In 1993)
· Bargarh in Orissa (Estd. In 2008).
· Shantipur in West Bengal (Estd. In 2015)
The State Sector Institutes are located at
· Venkatagiri in Andhra Pradesh
· Gadag in Karnataka.
· Champa in Chhattisgarh
· Kannur in Kerala.
About the Institute
