The Tashkent Institute of Textile and Light Industry, considered a leading and reliable university in Central Asia, during its 90-year activity, has not only trained highly qualified and mature specialists for important sectors of the country's economy - cotton ginning, textile and light industry enterprises, but also provided proposals, opinions and opinions on the organization, planning and management of production at these enterprises, improving product quality and labor productivity, updating technical and technological equipment, creating inventions and discoveries in these areas and introducing them into production.
The foundation of the institute was based on the need to provide highly qualified specialists for such enterprises of light industry as the Fergana Textile Combine, the Fergana, Bukhara, Samarkand, and Margilan silk mills, the Margilan Silk Combine and the Atlas Production Association, the Tashkent, Bukhara, Samarkand, Kokand, Urgench, and Andijan sewing factories, the Tashkent Leather Factory, the Shoe Factory, many existing cotton ginning factories, and the Tashkent Textile Combine 
Prior to this, these enterprises were provided with specialists with higher education, partly at the Department of "Preliminary Cotton Processing" of the National University of Uzbekistan (TashGU) (1927), at the Textile Faculty of the Central Asian Cotton-Irrigation Polytechnic Institute, which separated from the university in 1929, and from 1931 on the basis of the Textile Faculty of the Central Asian Institute of Mechanical Technology, mainly due to personnel sent from the former center.
The Central Asian Institute of Mechanical and Technological Technology has established the training of specialists in primary cotton processing and spinning, weaving, and silk technology. The need arose to create a separate textile institute based on this institute, faculties, and specialties.
Thus, in September 1932, the institute began its activities. In the first year, there were 2 faculties at the institute: "Pre-processing of cotton" and "Mechanical technology" faculties with 4 specialties, pre-processing of cotton, weaving, spinning and silk technology.
In 1935, the institute's 4-story educational and laboratory building (today's 2nd educational building) and 4-story student dormitory building were commissioned.
Over the past years, the institute has gone through a great historical journey. Year after year, the educational and laboratory base was strengthened. For example, in 1935, the institute had 6 production and 5 training laboratories, 5 training rooms, a gym, and a library, while by the 1960s, there were 8 production, 10 training laboratories, and 13 training rooms, respectively. The book fund in the Information Resource Center has increased from 500 to 631,000.
Also, by 1962, the word "light industry" was added to the name of the institute in connection with the opening of a number of new specialties and specializations in light industry sectors within the institute. As a result, the institute began to be called not only "textile," but also "Institute of Textile and Light Industry." During this period, 3 more student houses were built for students, in 1973, a new 6-story educational building (currently the 1st educational building), and later the educational building of the "First Cotton Processing" faculty were commissioned.
From 1932 to 2012, the institute trained about 50,000 highly qualified specialists for industrial sectors. Among them were about 800 students from Cuba, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Germany, Peru, Vietnam, Laos, and a number of African countries.B.A. Levkovich, M.T. Urazboev, A. Alimov, N.N. Nazarov, K.M.

Tojiev and other professors worked at this institute.
A new stage in the history of the institute began with the declaration of the state independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan on August 31, 1991. Over the past 30 years of independence, the institute team has achieved significant success in issues such as restructuring the educational process at the level of modern requirements, further improving and increasing its effectiveness, equipping educational laboratories and offices with new, modern computers and other equipment, paying special attention to national values and folk traditions in education and upbringing, and instilling the idea of independence and national independence in the minds of student youth.
Today, the activities of the institute are reflected in the following figures:
Currently, the institute has 4 faculties and 26 departments.
