Technology

Introduction :

Jute Technological Research Laboratories (JTRL) was established in 1939 by Government of India and in 1965 it was taken over by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).  The main objective of JTRL is to carry out technological research on jute and other long vegetable fibre for improving fibre quality and diversification of end use.

Organisational Set Up :

The research and development (R&D) activities of JTRL are conducted through four divisions viz.

• Textile and non-woven technology,

• Chemical technology,

• Chemistry and microbiology and

• Physics and physical testing including raw jute grading section.
  

JTRL has a Management Committee (MC) to assist the Director.  MC mainly considers matters relating to administration and also evaluates progress of research, mostly on the basis of verbal presentation made by scientists present in the meeting.

Income and expenditure :

JTRL is financed through grants from ICAR.  

Research Activities :

R&D activities of JTRL were carried out through in-house projects, projects founded by external agencies, internal institutional projects and all India coordinated research projects on jute and allied fibres. 

JTRL so far developed technologies but only of were transferred to private parties and entrepreneurs.

Organoleptic Criteria :

No undesirable odours or odours untypical of jute shall be present.  No unacceptable odours shall develop after artificial agency of the bags.  The european standard EN 766 on bags for transport of food aid shall be followed.
The above three criteria and other specification are conformed by the food grade bags from India under IBO technology.  The quality of Indian food grade bags and cloths is fully insured by IJIRA's strict quality control measures.
Indian Jute Industries Research Association (IJIRA) and Survecllance General superintendent (SGS) India Ltd. under MOU with IHIRA are jointly engaged in food grade jute product certification.  Certified Indian food grade jute products carry a logo as a mark of quality.
