India can emerge as key player in global technical textiles market, says Piyush Goyal

-

Rajkot, Gujarat: Piyush Goyal, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, attended a Chintan Shivir, a technical textiles brainstorming session.

According to Goyal, “India can emerge as a key player in the global technical textiles market.”

Darshana Vikram Jardosh, the Union Minister of State for Textiles, also attended the Chintan Shivir.

The session, which included participation from more than 50 major industries in the application areas of home textiles and cloth textiles like Industrial Sewing threads, Adhesive Tapes, Labels and Batches, Furniture and Coated Fabrics, Mosquito Nets, Fibrefill, Filter Fabrics, Household wipes, Stuffed Toys, was jointly organised by the Synthetic and Rayon Textiles Export Promotion Council (SRTEPC) and Indian Technical Textiles Association (ITTA).

The Conference brought together industry leaders, manufacturers, researchers, line Ministries and user Departments of Central and State governments on a single platform to exchange ideas and deliberate on the future growth and development of the sector.

Goyal chaired the second meeting of the Textile Advisory Group on Man-made Fibres with stakeholders of the MMF value chain.

According to the Ministry of Textiles, to meet the growing internal and global demand for sustainable and circular products, India is also bracing itself and many Indian innovators are experimenting with technologies and techniques to make the different processes of the textile value chain resource-efficient and environment-friendly.

The textile clusters in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu are frontrunners on the road towards sustainability. Great work is being done by them today to make the manufacturing processes more resource efficient through processes like zero liquid discharge, fibre-to-fibre recycling, switching to alternative organic dyes/chemicals as well as shifting to renewable energy sources. Alongside this, work is also being done to promote worker well-being through improved working conditions and benefits, thereby targeting all elements of ESG principles.

Under the ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ Initiative, the Saurashtra Tamil Sangamam is being conducted in Gujarat from April 17-30 to celebrate the cultural links between Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.

To celebrate the unity and highlight the oneness of the two regions with a shared history, the event is being held in four different places: Somnath, Dwarka, Rajkot and the Statue of Unity at Kevadia.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
