The inauguration of the Italian textile machinery training centre is slated for this month at DKTE´S (Textile & Engineering Institute of Ichalkaranji, India). Following the signing of an agreement roughly two years ago between the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT) and the DKTE´S Textile & Engineering Institute in Ichalkaranji in the district of Kolhapur, in the federated state of Maharashtra, the time has now come for the operational start of the Italian textile technology training centre in India. Indeed, the inauguration will take place this month, with ACIMIT´s President Raffaella Carabelli and Director Federico Pellegata in attendance.
The project which, among other initiatives, provides the transfer of equipment on loan from Italian manufacturers for a maximum of three years, as well as training courses, includes the participation of three of ACIMIT´s associated members during this first stage: BIANCO, FADIS and SAVIO.
Coordinated by a workgroup formed by ACIMIT and an Indian counterpart, Rare Tech Projects, the project will be responsible for organising all on-site activities. The initiatives planned include a mission to Italy, scheduled for this coming November, consisting of DKTE´S professors and Indian textile operators with ties to the institution.
