The Ganges Delta is home to over 85 percent of the world's jute crop. According to the statement, it is past time for India to investigate its multiple uses and broaden its utilization in the form of various products. This work has been handed to NITK as a Rs 48 lakh research project with Sreevalsa Kolathayar as the Principle Investigator, Raviraj HM and Somasekhara Rao T as Co-principal Investigators.
