The Technological Institute of Textile and Sciences(TIT) BHIWANI

Founded in 1943, The Technological Institute of Textile & Sciences is a center for research and education at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The institute has attached to it a textile mill for training the students under actual working conditions and for conducting research and perfecting the processes necessary for an incidental to manufacture of all types of products. Students after undergoing such practical training, are fully equipped to handle confidently and independently the responsibilities entrusted to them by the industry. This association of a Textile Mill with an Institute in Textile Technology is unique in India and not frequent even in the Western World. We promote knowledge through research as well as practice, both applied and conceptual, relevant to management and engineering, and to disseminate such knowledge through publications.

The Indian textile industry, started in 1850s, was still in a primitive craft stage till 1930s. Little formal education, rule of thumb solutions to problems, secrecy by mills and isolation of technicians were rampant. Some small groups like Saturday Textile Club of Bombay and Textile Brotherhood at Ahmedabad existed on a small local scale. Ten visionary technocrats brought 126 technicians and managers together on Sunday, the 9th April 1939 to establish the Textile Association (India); a forum for free exchange of technical and other information in a spirit of fellowship and cooperation.
