NTTM’s Grant for Research and Entrepreneurship across Aspiring Innovators in Technical Textiles (GREAT) encourages young innovators, scientists/technologists, and startup ventures in the field of Technical Textiles to translate their ideas into commercial technologies/products and make India self-reliant. GREAT supports individual entrepreneurs or start-ups for functional prototypes or commercialization of their technologies for Technical Textiles, Rachna Shah, Secretary, Ministry of Textiles said.

IIT Guwahati, a renowned university in the North East, would be better prepared to handle the distinct topographical and environmental conditions of the area by improving its laboratory facilities and growing its capabilities in technical textiles, particularly geotextiles. The institute would become a vital facilitator of NER's growth thanks to the grant by providing technical advice and other required assistance.
