ABOUT RTC PROJECT
National Institute of Fashion Technology has recently undertaken a project for development of a national
knowledge portal titled The Repository -- Indian Textiles and Crafts (RTC) for the Ministry of Textiles
under the Craft Cluster Initiative of the NHDP programme of DC (Handlooms & Handicrafts). RTC has
been planned as an online resource network for the textile, clothing and craft sectors of India.
BACKGROUND
NIFT has been studying and documenting crafts connected to textiles, clothing and accessories for the
past 30 years. Its area of interest has also covered costumes over the ages, contemporary fashion and
personal accessories, and aspects of textiles technology from handlooms and dyeing processes to
protective clothing and wearable technology. It is custodian of a rich range of material from craft
documentation and graduation project reports to swatches, prototypes, designer collections and seminal
research in textiles. Extensive research in cutting edge areas pertaining to textiles has happened in the
Textile Research Associations (TRAs) supported by the Ministry of Textiles. Weavers’ Service Centres
are a treasure trove of designs and swatches, unknown to the world at large. Exquisite works are
available in the Crafts Museum and in private collections, many of which have been digitized, but none of
which are available in a consolidated registry. Bringing all this knowledge into the public domain where it
can be disseminated and used seamlessly is a service that is owed to the country and the world.
RTC project aims to develop a national knowledge portal in the form of an integrated system that will lay
down a framework to weave the past and present status of textile, clothing and related crafts with focus on
futuristic developments.
PROJECT AIM:
To preserve and promote Indian textiles and crafts through
a) Showcase of creativity and diversity of traditional Indian textile, clothing and crafts (connected to
textiles, and personal accessories), and their continuity in contemporary India
b) Digitization of both tangible and intangible research related to textiles, apparel and allied areas
c) Assimilation of information resource pertaining to Indian textile and apparel industry.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
• Dissemination of historical and contemporary information and narratives on Indian textiles, clothing
and crafts to a global audience comprising research scholars, craft enthusiasts and relevant
industry.
• Creating an integrated database of craft practitioners to promote and provide direct access to
Indian and international stakeholders.
• Develop visual databank of images, films, audio-visuals, podcast lecture series on craft
practitioners, and designers to spread awareness about the craft, its production and applications.
• Showcasing traditional skills and knowledge of textiles and crafts by designers for contemporary
market.
• Develop databank and provide access to resources like research papers, case studies,
dissertations and doctoral theses on textiles, clothing and craft related areas.
• Collation of data related to market trends, trade statistics and resource directories etc pertaining to
textile and apparel industry.
• Provide information on new developments and current events relating to crafts, clothing and
textiles.
