Man Made Textiles Research Association - MANTRA,Surat Gujarat

MANTRA was to be set up on similar lines as other National Textile Reserch Associations.

To cater to the ever incrasing quality control needs of growing MAN-MADE TEXTILES industry around the city of Surat in South Gujarat, in late nineteen seventies an idea was mooted to set up a full-fledged independent Research Association for the region. This was with a view to carry out reserch and devlopment activities as well as to provide testing and technical service facilities to the man-made fiber textiles industry, in particular, and other allied industries, in general, in South Gujarat.
