Today the Department has achieved a preeminent status not only in teaching but also in sponsored research and industrial consultancy.

Over the period of time, considerable work has been carried by the faculty of the department in the field of nonwovens which resulted in several important publications in the international journals and technical reports. The department has been interacting with the industry closely on most of the technological developments.
