Who would have thought that a full-fledged Governmental body would be formed to promote what appears to be a tattered piece of coarse fibre?
Think again. That fibre that used to pack things and rub your feet is today the fabric that adorns walls, covers floors in rich colour and design. What's more, its eco-friendly texture has brought in diverse functions.

The National Jute Board (NJB) is the apex body for promotion of Indian Jute. Set up under "National Jute Board Act, 2008 (No. 12 of 2009)" , the Board is chaired by the Secretary, Ministry of  Textiles, Government of India. The Board's prime objective is to provide better marketing of jute products, although it addresses itself to multi-dimensional activities.

NJB is a body comprising representatives from all sectors including farmers of jute, producers & exporters of jute products, experts, workmen employed in factories producing jute manufactures, as well as different departments of the Government of India and local governments of jute growing States.
