Research needs to start from retting/softening of fibre and spinning.
Specific yarns/fabrics needs to be developed for specific applications. Standards for
various applications need to be set up. Research also needs to focus on cost reduction,
development and modernisation of machinery, and spinning and weaving of lighter yarn and
fabrics and at higher speeds. Research needs to focus on developing products, which can
