India's core competence is in garment sector, however increasing competition necessitates her to explore new arena and develop her competence there. Textile & garment industry is among the second highest employment provider in India after agriculture. It is the mother industry in India, like most of the industrialized nations, and given the present economic development, it has the potential to propel the economy at least for next few decades.

BACKGROUND
The jute industry should endeavor to play a pathfinder’s role to facilitate jute competitiveness in a global. There is a need for sustained research on the properties , performance and requirements of each type of product as well as on the specializations and in particular the possibility of attaining the desired specifications of the synthetic fibres. This would require an in depth study of attributes and jute and allied fibres, assessment of their potential and analyze the various attributes of man-made fibres which make them preferred for certain applications and then study how to impart these characteristics to the jute fibre whether by processing, agricultural practice, retting or treating methods or genetic improvement. Many researchers have been carried out before on jute industry as India is the largest producer of jute industry. Researchers have find out various problems regarding labour problem, technology and development. My research is based on jute industry of India and problems faced by the industry.
