These work place hazards can be reduced with the use of protective clothing. Educational package may educate the workers and make them aware about health problems, diseases and use of clothing designed for protection against these during working. To achieve the objectives of the study i.e. to prepare an educational package on protective clothing for textile industrial workers and to assess the effectiveness of prepared educational package three mills i.e. namely Delhi Cloth Mill of Hisar, Radhika Mill of Hansi and Gargi Mill of Panipat were selected. The educational package was prepared in Hindi to facilitate learning by the target group. These were evaluated by the experts. Individual pamphlets were prepared for male workers, female workers and male dyers in which occupational health problems and their solutions were described with illustrations. Video film was prepared in various steps like script writing, filming, editing and commentary. Ninety respondents from different sections of the textile industries were educated and knowledge acquisition was measured through pamphlets and video film. Evaluation of the pamphlets and video film on protective clothing for male and female workers was done by the experts. Out of parameters for the evaluation of the content of the pamphlets and video film on protective clothing for both male and female workers of all the sections of textile industry the clarity in the title of the content, usefulness in the body text parameters and in the illustration layout of illustration parameters were found to be highly appropriate and appropriate.

    Creation of College Bags for Girls
    (CCSHAU, 2011) S.Jeet Singh, Saroj
    The study was conducted for creation of college bags for girls. To attain the first two specific objectives 30 respondents were selected purposively and 20 rural adolescent girls from Azad Nagar Hisar were taken randomly. To collect the data preferential choice index and a self structured knowledge inventory was prepared. Results highlighted that the preferred top eight designs for college bags were 6, 7, 9, 10, 18, 22, 23 and 25. In order to know the preference of respondents regarding bag and embellishment characteristics Preferential choice index was developed and denim fabric, blue color, medium intensity, eight embellishment techniques, traditional motif and monochromatic color scheme, complementary and triad color scheme were preferred most by the respondents for college bags. Eight top preferred embellishment techniques were block printing, stencil printing, fabric painting, tie and dye, thread embroidery, beads and sequins, mirror work and appliqué work.. 3 designs for each embellishment technique were created. The most preferred design of block printing was design number 2, design no.3 of stencil printing design number 1 of fabric painting, design no. 3 of tie and dye, design number 2 of thread embroidery , the most preferred design of beads and sequins was design number 3 . mirror work design no.3 and design number 1 of applique work . These were used for embellishment of bags. Selected designs with their placements which were preferred most by the respondents were placement I was preferred for stencil printing and thread embroidery, placement III for mirror work and fabric painting, placement IV for beads and sequins, placement V for appliqué work, block printing and tie and dye. Thus, eight bags were developed and assessed in terms of embellishment techniques, overall appearance and cost. Thread embroidery was most preferred embellishment technique and the overall appearance of appliqué worked bag was considered to be the best. The respondents have very highly opinion about the developed bags in relation to shape, size, motifs, embellishment techniques and market ability etc. Cost of developed bags it was felt to be appropriate by most of the respondents.

    Diversified use of sheep wool in Haryana
    (CCSHAU, 2011) Mukesh Rani; Pruthi, Neelam
    The present study was planned for diversified use of sheep wool in Haryana by developing various products. To achieve the objectives, list of thirteen products requiring insulation characteristics and their design were prepared. Two designs of top seven products selected for development were: curd vessel cover, chapatti box cover, lunch box cover, water bottle cover, baby feeder cover, baby quilt and assan as per experts preference as a result fourteen products were planned for development. Two production techniques i.e. wool as tufting and blanket fabric as an interlining was suggested for covers where as direct blanket fabric was suggested for assan. Paper patterns were developed for the products as per their design and the size of the container. To finalize the production technique water bottle cover, lunch box cover and baby feeder cover were selected. All the three covers were made by both the suggested production techniques. Insulation characteristics of developed covers were analyzed and compared with that of ready- made covers procured from the market. Selfmade covers provided better insulation characteristics than ready- made covers in both the condition i.e. higher to low and lower to high temperature. It was further analyzed that the products made by tufting technique had better insulation properties and were light in weight than products made by interlining of blanket fabric. Hence tufting technique was used to prepare the planned covers and baby quilt where as blanket fabric was used for assan. Blend of wool and poly fibres (50:50) were recommended for tufting of baby quilt due to its highest thermal properties. The developed products were shown to the 60 selected respondents assess their acceptability. Developed products accepted in descending rank order were: lunch box cover, curd vessel cover, water bottle cover, chapatti box cover, baby quilt,, baby feeder cover and assan. Important reasons found for their acceptance was that ‘ it will be easy to carry lunch box or any bottle used for carrying liquid to work place or while travelling’, ‘the products will help to maintain the temperature of food items for longer period’, ‘the shape and size of the product can be changed according to the container’ and so on. The paper patterns were graded to three sizes for mass application.

    Adaptation of traditional embroidery designs for fabric painting on jacket
    (2011) Saroj Devi; Punia, Parveen
    The study was conducted for adaptation of traditional embroidery designs for fabric painting on jacket. The information was gathered from thirty shops for contemporary use of motifs, categories of motifs and other techniques adapted for traditional embroideries. The maximum no. of floral motifs of Chikankari, Phulkari, Kashida & Kathiawar embroidery were in contemporary use which were mainly worked in machine embroidery except the Kantha embroidery. Out of collected embroideries through market survey, one embroidery that is Kantha was selected. Fifty motifs of selected embroidery were collected from primary and secondary sources. Out of these, fifteen motifs were selected to develop stylized designs for jacket. Fifteen stylized designs were developed and five possible placements of each design were prepared with the help of coral draw. The top ranked designs ware selected. Thee top ranked placement of each selected design was worked in Kantha embroidery and replicated in fabric painting for making the jacket. Finally six jackets were developed. On the basis of assessment of developed jackets on different parameters, Jacket no.4 with design no.9 worked in fabric painting was ranked first followed by jacket no.1 with same design worked in embroidery. Jacket no. 5 with design no. 13 worked in fabric painting was ranked III. The preferred reason given by the experts preferences were ‘placement and colour combination’ and ‘suitability of developed designs’ for both techniques. The opinion of experts was ‘the most favourable’ about the developed designs, placements, size, shape, colour combination and embellishment techniques. The cost of developed jackets with both techniques was felt as ‘appropriate’ by most of the experts. Five days training of both techniques that is painting and embroidery was imparted to the Fine Arts students of Fatehachand College, Hisar and knowledge acquisition regarding techniques used was calculated.
