Geotextile is a synthetic permeable textile material used to improve the soil characteristics. It has the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect and drain when used in association with soils. Geotextiles are ideal materials for many infrastructure works such as roads, harbors, landfills, drainage structures, and other civil projects.
Modernization of technology would necessitate more technical skills for operators in the production and maintenance functions across the value chain of the textile industry. The sector also needs multi-tasking/multi-skilling at the operator level.

A funny thing has happened to clothing prices over the last half-century. While other consumer goods have grown more costly over time, clothing has become cheaper. According to KQED News, the average U.S. household in 1960 spent over 10% of its income on clothing and shoes. By 2013, that number had dropped to less than 3.5%.
