Business Studies of the University of Dhaka
.
The institute is a partnership between the Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) and the Ministry of Textiles and Jute, Govt. of Bangladesh. It is a public-private partnership education and research organization and a constituent institute of the University of Dhaka.
History
In the late 1970s, the public
textile mills under the Bangladesh Textile Mills Corporation (BTMC) were operating at a loss.[1] BTMC knew it needed skilled personnel to turn the mills around. To that end, and to serve the mills' testing and consulting needs, in 1979 it established a training institute at Savar, the Textile Industry Development Centre (TIDC).[1][2] For the first five years, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), through the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), supported infrastructure, curriculum development, and staff training at TIDC.[1][3]
In 1994 TIDC's name changed to National Institute of Textile Training Research and Design (NITTRAD). Later the
Textile engineering course under the University of Dhaka. It was initiated by the then president of BTMA, Mr. Abdul Hai Sarkar
.
It also provides practical and training classes of textile engineering to students of private universities in Bangladesh.
