"Students and faculty members should participate in the total activity from cotton research to marketing. This will be akin to the second green revolution for food grains. NIFT may initiate missions to embed fashion in our textile industry - big and small - so that Indian textile products from yarn to garments carry innovative ideas for the final fashion," he added.
Stressing the need for improving cotton productivity, he said the NIFT can have a linkage with agricultural research and the farming community to specify the special qualities needed in the cotton production for making the Indian cotton competitive in the international market.
India can definitely produce 25 per cent of the total world production of quality cotton compared to the existing 12 per cent leading to revenue of over Rs 25,000 crore a year for the nation, the President said.
