In general the skill development training will be imparted to operators, supervisors and entrepreneur. Generally the duration of most of the courses is 15 days to 1 month. MANTRA has targeted to train 2900 trainees over period of five years. The medium of instruction will be in Hindi/Gujarati/English mixed language to suit the trainees. MANTRA will collect fees for these courses the details of which will provided from the office of MANTRA.

Since the field of technical textiles is relatively new and there are not many units operating in this sector, MANTRA has proposed to conduct more courses for entrepreneurs with the specific aim of creating awareness about technical textiles in the conventional textile sector. This is expected to play an indirect role in encouraging investment in technical textiles and consequently leading to increased man power demand. Accordingly a significant portion of the trainee output will be entrepreneur.

The scheme has been granted to MANTRA because it has fulfilled all the criteria put by the ministry. The most important out of this is that MANTRA keeps close liaison with the industry around surat, and in particular, with five leading local textile co-operative societies – The Surat Art Silk Cloth Manufacturers Association (SASCMA), The Surat Vankar Sahakari Sangh Ltd., The SASME Co-operative Society Ltd., The Udhna Group of Weavers Producers Co-operative Society Ltd., The South Gujarat Processors Association. It is expected that local industry will fully cooperate MANTRA by sending candidates for training and making this training centre a success.
