With a view to taking stock of Indian cotton scenario, the delegates will visit modern farms, upgraded ginning and pressing factories and textile mills in India during the period from 17 October to 23 October.
The members of the spinning committee will also hold meetings with the Ministries of Textiles and Agriculture, cotton research associations including Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI), Cotton Association of India (CAI) as well as other local organizations.
As part of the visit, the spinners will have interactions with All India Co-operative Cotton Federation Ltd and Ahmedabad Cotton Merchants' Association at Indian Textile Industry's Research Association's (ATIRA) campus in Ahmedabad on October 20, 2008, said ATIRA officials.
