The emphasis of the Institute has been development and dissemination of cost effective and eco-friendly technologies involving the field functionaries and the industry for maximisation of yield and return. The recent initiatives leading to establishment of replicable models of micro-entrepreneurship, across the tasar value chain, community driven producer institutions,research on by-product utilization, engagement with corporate and NGOs etc., would further help in creation of sustainable tribal livelihood.

CTRTI works in coordination with 15 States for achieving excellence in the development of appropriate technologies as well as their popularization in the field, human resource development and other consultancy services. The Institute has forged collaboration with several Institutes, Universities, Corporate and NGOs to address the gaps in scientific expertise in highly specialized fields, development, training and extension services.
