New Delhi, Sept 23 (ANI): The Ministry of Textiles and the FICCI will jointly organise a workshop on 'Strengthening-Government-Industry-Consumer Partnership on Geotech Textiles' here today.

Senior Officers from the Central and State Governments will address the delegates.

Over 100 delegates from various sectors like industry, construction companies, the Central Governments, the State Governments and institutes will attend the workshop.

The objective of the workshop is to sensitize stakeholders about myriad applications of technical textiles in agriculture and environmental engineering and to create awareness amongst the stakeholders about the benefits of these items.
