ROLE OF UNITS

　　The role of the Units, each located at textile centres in India, consists essentially of holding Lectures, Seminars, Conferences, Study Tours, Technical Quiz Programmes, Experience Exchange Talks etc. At the large centres like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Delhi etc., the TAI Units have acquired own premises . The Units vie with each other to host the prestigeous All India Textile Conference (AITC) at their location. Most Units organise social gatherings, and inviting families of the members also to join the function. The stronger Units help the weaker Units in their geogrophical neighbourhood to function more effectively for their membership.

ROLE OF THE CENTRE

　　Publication of the journal, books/booklets, giving professional awards based on application or examination, deciding upon the Honours to be bestowed upon textile professionals and on dedicated members of TAI are the main functions of the Centre.

　　Facilitating Unit activities - helping them to serve their members better - is a major responsibility of the Centre. It, therefore, appoints four Zonal co-ordinators for helping the not so strong Units to organise activities for their members.
