Research towards developments of machineries, instruments, processes and products resulted in around sixty patents. Fifty-eight developments have been licensed to various companies and those products have helped textile industry in improving quality, increasing productivity, reducing waste and reducing power consumption.
SITRA plays an important role in manpower development. It trains around 2000-2500 personnel from industry in various levels starting from managers to the operatives level every year. The Association has emerged as an International Centre for Textile Training for the technical personnel of the developing countries.
During the past three decades more than 1200 overseas nationals from 63 developing countries have taken part in SITRA's International training programme. There is a need of skilled personnel in textile and garment industries. Keeping this in view SITRA has planned to emphasize on the training of operatives more and more.
SITRA is equipped with state of the art laboratories for physical and chemical testing, accredited by NABL for ISO – 17025. These laboratories help in conducting basic and applied research for the scientists and many textile units get benefited from these laboratories. SITRA pilot mill accommodates latest spinning machineries available in the world.
Productivity survey, which serves as bench mark for all the spinning mills in India, has become anonymous with SITRA. Around 250 to 300 mills participate in this survey every time. As many as 30 such inter-mill productivity surveys have been conducted in last 50 years.
The outstanding works done by the SITRA scientists have been recognized by many organizations, which resulted in various National and International awards. To name a few NRDC Awards (6 times), world Intellectual Property Organization Gold Medal (2 times), Institution of Engineers Award (4 times), PCRA National Award, Vasvik Research Award, Century Textiles Best Technical Book Award (7 times), etc.
