Industrial Visit
We were taken to an industrial visit to the places – Erode, Thiruppur and Ooty, from 28.02.2019 to 02. 03. 2019. On the very first day, we visited Cotton saree industry which is known as ‘Sivaprakasam Sarees’. There, we came to know about the entire process of manufacturing the cotton sarees from different sections. We also looked onto the process of screen printing on the saree. Then, on the second day, we went to three different factories which were based on knitwear in Thiruppur. We learned about Jacquard fabric. We saw the process of the conversion of yarn into fabric. We were taken to a colour lab where we saw various shades of colours and learned about the way the fabric have been coloured. Then, we looked onto every other process such as washing, ironing, steaming, folding and many more. At last, we visited the stitching department. On the third day, we went to Ooty to visit a few places and purchase few things. This trip was very beneficial for us. It helped us to gain a good knowledge about wet processes and apparel mass production.
