Jute which is known as the golden fibre of India is a natural bast fibre that has silky luster, high tensile strength, low extensibility, good aesthetic appearance. Jute is chemically known as ligno-cellulosic fibre, and it is bio-degradable and available in large quantity with low price and traditionally used as packaging material and carpet backing, ropes and cordage, but due to the eco-friendly nature of this fibre today jute is looked upon not only as a major textile fibre suitable for packaging but also used for making diversified and value-added products including upholstery, furnishing textiles and even wearable textile as it is used as a raw material for manufacturing dyed and printed textiles with a substantial improvement of colour yield, levelness of dyes, and fastness properties for jute fabric. The current review aims to highlight the concerns and challenges faced during the development of jute from such as packaging material to a textile fabric with enhanced sorption properties that can be dyed or printed with deferent types of natural and synthetic dyes by simple and cost-effective modifications using natural sources.
