Conference on Natural Fibres: Vision 2020 is to be organized by North India Section of Textile Institute (NISTI), India in collaboration with Institute of Natural Fibres, Poland.
Lightweight, strong and low-cost natural fibers have been for centuries made into clothing as well as a number of other products like baskets, sacks, ropes, and rugs. Over the years a large number of natural fibres such as cotton, wool, silk, linen, bamboo, sisal, jute, coir and abaca have found usage in a wide variety of applications.

Conference on Natural Fibres: Vision 2020
8-9 th December 2006
New Delhi, India
From the first cultivation of cotton and domestication of sheep and goats, humans have manipulated natural fibers, through selective planting and breeding, to better fulfill our needs.
These days, technology in fibers goes far beyond merely choosing which goats should breed or what variety of cotton should be planted. Cotton breeding these days includes bioengineering of cottonseed for preferred fiber qualities like staple length and for resistance to drought and pests to improve yield and reduce the need for pesticides.
The technological advances associated with fibers and textiles don't stop there, however. A unique combination of properties inherent in natural fibres makes them extremely suitable for many applications.
They can be blended with man-made fibres to exploit the positive attributes of both natural and man made and develop products manifesting properties not achievable with one type of fibre. Comfort and function are mixing with style. Comfort and function are mixing with style to provide new generation of textile products.
