Wetskills-India (Panipat) 2024
Wetskills-India (Panipat) 2024
November 10 - November 22
A new event in India, dedicated to Water in Textile Industry (Panipat)
The National Mission of the Clean Ganga aims to improve the water quality of this important river in India. The City of Panipat plays an important role in this mission, because the textile industry heavily pollutes the Ganga River. Creating a more sustainable and cleaner textile industry is an enormous challenge, existing of various sub-challenges as introduction of new approaches and technologies, governmental and behavioural/awareness challenges.
