Natural Fibres ; Backbone of Indian Textile Industry

By Yoshika Sharma

Did you know in 1st century CE Roman Noble women were been given india cotton to wear and for this the Roman Empire used to spend 2 crore gold coin.

Natural fibers are the fibres that come from natural sources like plants and anmals . India was always home natural fibers . In about 5000 BCE farmers in the Indus valley civilization used to cultivated cotton which was India’ s first natural fibre , they were also the first ones who started the spinning and weaving of cotton . The vedas include unlimited texts regarding spinning , weaving and dress designing .

In Rigveda male weaver were termed as ”vaya” and female weaver were termed as ”vayatri” . Threads , shuttle , loom, were one of the important object in this industry.

In 327 BCE when Alexander attacked India , the soldiers of his army started to like india cotton wear instead of their wool uniform , as cotton was breathable, allowed coolig and drying airflow , and made it a summer staple. other than cotton , India is a home to many other natural fibers like jute , coir etc .

Coir ; coir is made from extracting the action hair of coconut , it was used to made ropes and threads . In chola empire coir was used in ship building which made this fibre more prominent .

In 16th century during Akbar’s regin . Akbar considering the warm climate of india introduced cotton to the nobility instead of silk . Due to the boost in textile industry the Mughal era was termed as the golden period for the indian textile industry.

Like cotton jute is also a natural fibre , which was usedby the Indus valley civilization from 3rd millennium BCE for manufacturing of clothes . Jute is most prominently grown in West Bengal and Assam . Rope , twine , Mat , and sack are some of the articles made from jute .

During the 17th century the Dutch and french merchants started the jute trade from Bengal to Europe . In the British colonial rule the Britishers established jute factory in eastern India and cotton factory in western India . The Britishers started the first jute mill in the 1855 kolkata from which Burlap ( a special white jute cloth) got its place in the iternationa market . During the 1880 the manufacturing rate of jute in India was 50% of the world jute production.

During early 18th century a fibres made century a fibre made from cotton named Calico ( a cheap fabric rom Calicut ) was gaining market iin Britain . Seeing the increasing demand for Calico , Britain passed a Calico law 1700 to stop the import of Calico from India , and England started the export its synthetic fibres to India which made Indian weavers unemployed and made Indian textile industry flattered for years , there was no coming back of the indian natural fibres . But then in 1918 at the sabarmati ashram in Gujrat , Khadi cloth was weaved and thus this gain marked the begining of start of new era . Seeing this boost , Mahatma Gandhi initiated the Khadi movement in which synthetic fibres from Britishers were boycotted and people were encouraged to use Desi goods and khadi and other natural fibres .

Natural fibres are considered the backbone of Indian textile industry which is projected to reach $195 billion by 2025

GPS-based toll collection

By EduPub Team

Government has appointed a consultant to provide advisory services on implementation of new technologies like Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based barrier less free flow tolling.

It has been decided to Initially implement GNSS based Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) System at selected sections of National Highways on pilot basis as an added facility along with FAS Tag.

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is encouraging FAS Tag users with incomplete KYC to complete their ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) process as per RBI Guidelines.

FAS Tags with incomplete KYC are liable to be blacklisted by Banks beyond 29.02.24. National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) had earlier issued directions to all issuer banks to complete KYC of all FAS Tag users before 01.03.23 however, the 100% compliance was not achieved. NHAI’s recent initiative aims to make the FAS Tag system 100% KYC compliant in order to avoid inconvenience to road users at fee Plazas. Under the “One Vehicle One FAS Tag” NHAI aims to deactivate/blacklist multiple FAS Tags issued on a single Vehicle.

Instances have been reported when FAS Tag issued to a different vehicle are carried in another vehicle(s) without fixing it on the windscreen of the vehicle. This also results in deduction of User Fee even if that vehicle has not crossed fee Plaza. With One Vehicle One FAS Tag initiative, such misuse of FAS Tag will be minimized.

One Vehicle One FAS Tag initiative aims to increase the efficiency and strengthen the Electronic Toll Collection by:

Reducing transaction processing delays
Removing large volume of inactive/blacklisted FAS Tag from the system
Prevention of unauthorized handling of FAS Tags which are not affixed to vehicle windscreen
Enhancing overall reliability of the system by minimizing chances of

Misuse of other vehicle’s FAS Tag and other fraudulent activities

Creating unique identifier of a vehicle for Tolling purpose.

The guidelines as issued by RBI through Master Direction – Know Your Customer (KYC) Direction, 2016 (Updated as on January 04, 2024) RBI/DBR/2015-16/18 Master Direction DBR.AML.BC.No.81/14.01.001/2015-16 is applicable to all Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPI) including FAS Tag customers.

The Guidelines requires KYC of all PPI like FAS Tag to be fully KYC compliant. The Guidelines also require periodic updation of KYC which ranges from at least once in every two years for high-risk customers, once in every eight years for medium risk customers and once in every ten years for low-risk customers from the date of opening of the account / last KY C updation.

NHAI, through the recent initiative aims to make the FAS Tag system 100% KYC compliant in order to avoid inconvenience to road users at fee Plazas.

The Magical Adventure of Little Lily

Once upon a time in the quaint town of Rainbowville, there lived a sweet and curious little girl named Lily. Lily was an imaginative third-grader with a heart full of wonder and excitement. She had a special love for colors, and her favorite place in the whole world was the enchanted forest just beyond her school.

One sunny afternoon, after finishing her classes, Lily decided to explore the magical forest. As she skipped along the winding path, she noticed something peculiar – a rainbow-colored butterfly dancing through the air. Without a second thought, Lily followed the butterfly, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Deeper into the forest, the colors seemed to come alive. Vibrant flowers whispered tales of magical adventures to the little girl, and the trees hummed tunes that only Lily could understand. The rainbow butterfly led her to a hidden clearing where a wise old owl named Oliver perched on a branch.

“Hello, little one! You must be Lily,” hooted Oliver, his eyes twinkling with wisdom.

Lily nodded, her heart pounding with excitement.

“Today, my dear, you are in for a magical adventure,” proclaimed Oliver. “But to embark on this journey, you must pass through the Rainbow Arch.”

Lily looked around and saw a magnificent arch made of shimmering colors. With a deep breath, she stepped through it, feeling a surge of energy envelop her. The moment she crossed, the world transformed.

Suddenly, Lily found herself in a land where everything was made of candy! The ground was made of chocolate, the trees were lollipops, and the rivers flowed with sweet syrup. A candy unicorn trotted by, inviting Lily for a ride through the sugary meadows.

As Lily giggled with joy, she met a friendly group of marshmallow creatures who taught her a magical dance. Every step made the flowers bloom, and every twirl created a shower of candy confetti.

After hours of delightful exploration, Lily found herself back at the Rainbow Arch. With a grateful heart, she bid farewell to her candy wonderland and stepped through the arch once more.

As she emerged back into the familiar forest, the rainbow butterfly returned, landing gently on Lily’s shoulder.

“You’ve experienced the magic of colors, dear Lily. Carry it with you always,” whispered the butterfly before fluttering away.

With a heart full of enchanting memories, Lily skipped back to Rainbowville, her ordinary town now filled with an extraordinary sparkle. From that day forward, every time she looked at a rainbow, Lily knew that magical adventures awaited those with curious hearts and colorful dreams.

And so, the sweet little girl named Lily continued to explore, her world forever touched by the magic of the enchanted forest.
