Introduction
Textile and garments sector is the biggest and fastest growing sector in Bangladesh. It is also the highest foreign currency earning sector in Bangladesh. Among this sector, Spinning is growing very rapidly due to smaller investment requirement, greater backward linkage facility & higher profit than yarn. Thats why export of yarn has increasing steadily for last few years.

Textile education cant be completed without industrial. Because this industrial minimizes the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge and make us accustomed to industrial environment. We got an opportunity to complete 1day in Northern Corporation Ltd. It has well planned & equipped fabric dyeingfinishing and garments units in addition to facilitate knitting and knitwear manufacturing.

Limitations of the report

Because of secrecy act, the data on costing and marketing activities have not been supplied. We had a very limited time. In spite of our willing to study more it was not possible to do so Some points in different chapters are not included as these were not available. It is not possible to hold the whole thing of a textile industry in such a small frame as this report. So, try our hard to summarize all the information that we are provided.

Lastly:
We are lucky enough that we have got an opportunity to get industrial training at NORTHERN KNIT LIMITED. During this very short period we have visited different section of the mill and received enough co-operation and support from the authority and all the personnel of different sections. Here, all the officers and the stuffs are very cordial and very much devoted to their duties, which is also learning for us.
