INTRODUCTION
1.1 General information:
Indian history is waking up to the challenges thrown in by market economy. To

survive in this highly competitive scenario, human resources plays a vital role. An
organization is nothing without its “Human resources”.
Growing global, liberalization policy, technological advancement,

increased competition, privatization are the characteristics of todays economy,
which emphasizes the crucial role of managing human resources for the
organizations growth and survival and its growing importance
The field of human resources management is in a state of rapid transition.

It is only the successful corporate edge in todays market place is their ‘people’,
and they should manage their human resources in their “transition”. Managing
human resources is an extremely important part of making an organization work
well.
 Managing human resources means acknowledging that the humans

in the organization are the most important part of getting things
done. The human resources approach assumes that no amount of
clever work with figures, or the latest technical equipment , will
deliver anything unless people agree to work in co-ordination with
each other. Thus is applies to everyone in the organization.
“Management is the method of effectively utilizing available resources for the

purpose delivering goods services to the maximum satisfaction of maximum
number of people.

1.2 Industrial background
The silk weaving factory in Mysore, presently owned by KSIC, was established
in the year 1912 by the Maharaja of Mysore province. Initially the silk fabrics
were manufactured and supplied to meet the requirements of the royal family and
ornamental fabrics to their armed forces.
The unit was started with 10 looms and gradually increased to 44 looms over a
period. The looms and preparatory machines were imported from Switzerland and
was the first of its kind in India. After India gained Independence the Mysore
state Sericulture Dept. took control of the silk weaving factory.
KSIC Ltd was established on 18th April 1980 with assistance by

Government and World Bank scheme under integrated Karnataka sericulture
project. KSIC is the only organization in the Country commanding the entire
gamut of silk production right from the reeling of cocoons to the weaving of pure
silk fabrics, under one roof.
In 1980 the silk weaving factory was handed over to Karnataka Silk
Industries Corporation Ltd., a Govt. of Karnataka enterprise and is popularly
known as KSIC. The take over was enthused by effecting modernization and
expansion assisted by the World Bank to the tune of Rs. 27.30 crores integrated
under Karnataka sericulture project.
1.3 GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation (KSIC) has been awarded the Certificate of
Geographical Indication for Mysore Silk, elevating it to a brand name for its exclusive
use.
2
It’s now official. Mysore Silk belongs to Mysore district.
The Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation (KSIC) has been awarded the Certificate of
Geographical Indication for Mysore Silk, elevating it to a brand name for its exclusive
use. Henceforth, all Mysore Silk sarees sold by the KSIC will come with the logo IPI,
meaning Intellectual Property India.
KSIC is also the first state government enterprise to get a logo from the Geographical
Indication Registry (GIR), a Central government body based in Chennai. GIR was
formed to protect the Intellectual Property Rights for Indian goods under the
Geographical Indication of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999.
The GIR certificate is a sign used on goods that have a special geographical origin and
possess qualities or reputation of their place of origin.
The KSIC also will have the patent rights of Mysore Silk brand and no other organization
can use the same name for other silk products. The other products which have been
awarded GIR certificates include Kanjeevaram Sarees, Basmati Rice, Swiss Watches and
Dutch Tulips.
1.4 PRESENT STATUS OF THE INDUSTRY
KSIC produces 6,000 sarees every year and, armed with the GIR certificate, KSIC now
plans to have a distributor in every state.
EXCLUSIVE STATUS
Manufacturers or traders can use the words ‘Mysore Silk’ to market their silk fabric
3
without KSIC’s nod product must be made in Mysore district penal action for
unauthorized use. Every Mysore silk saree will carry a logo –intellectual property India
The two pillars of Korean manufacturing sector are textile industries

(KSIC code 32) and machinery, equipment and electronics industries (KSIC code
38). The output share of textile has decreased from 21.8% in 1970 to 13.7% in
1990 while that of machinery and equipment has increased from 12.2 per ce34.1%
Brief on product:-
KSIC is the only organization in the country commending the entire gamut of silk
production right from reeling of cocoons to the weaving of pure silk fabric of
various shades and designs, all under one roof. KSIC uses only high quality pure
natural silk and 100% pure gold zari. The zari never tarnish and will look fresh
even over a long period of usage. KSIC is the only organization to give guarantee
for its zari saree in the form of embroidered code No. which is unique to each
saree.
Meaning of Trade Mark
There is no specific meaning or direct relation of trade mark with KSIC. There is
a history behind this logo. Once company’s first CEO and MD went to a temple
named as Chennakeshava in Halebidu (Karnataka). There they saw a beautiful
bird “Hamsa” which is famous for bring diamonds, pearl etc to home wherever it
was present. So the CEO kept the bird as the trade mark for KSIC.

2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE
It is said that silk was discovered during 2640 B.C. in China. Chinese Empress, His Ling
Shi studied the silkworm and learned the art of unwinding the silk from the cocoon and
made silk fabric from it. This was the beginning of silk industry in China.
Though India is the second largest silk producer in the World after China, it
accounts for just 5% of the global silk market, since the bulk of Indian silk thread and silk
cloth are consumed domestically. Germany is the largest consumer of Indian silk. The
sericulture industry is land – based as silk worm rearing involves over 700,000 farm
families and is concentrated in the three Southern states of Karnataka, Tamil nadu and
Andhra Pradesh. (The states of Assam and West Bengal are also involved in the industry
to a certain extent).
The present market context for silk in India is one of vigorously growing internal
demand for silk fabrics, with growth rates of above 10% per year. It is mostly for
traditional (sari type) design and does not impose sophisticated quality requirements upon
the industry. This situation is likely to continue, unless Indian sericulture is able to
provide sufficient quantities of raw silk at affordable prices. The present trends represent
a limitation to price increases for silk produced in India by import from other silk
producing countries like China, Brazil, Korea etc., as well as by substitution with other
fibers including by artificial silk. It also appears unlikely that the present demands can be
met merely by expanding mulberry area in order to increase cocoon and raw silk
production. Future additional output is raw silk will therefore mostly have to come from
substantial productivity increases, mainly area and labor productivity.
5
Concurrently there is a growing demand for silk fabric among the growing Indian
middle class and young urban consumers. These modern silk fabrics typically are
produced by the expanding power loom weaving industry. The quality requirements
imposed by this trend can only be met by bivoltine raw silk for conventional power
looms. The bulk of today’s world export demand is almost exclusively based on high
graded quality bivoltine raw silk. If Indian sericulture is unable to generate a substantial
production of bivoltine raw silk, these important market segments will continue to be lost
outside competitors.
Hence, three main market segments offer great opportunity to India’s silk industry:
(i) The broadening domestic traditional demand multi bivoltine based
(ii) The domestic demand for non – traditional silk fabrics, based at least partly on
non – graded bivoltine raw silk
(iii) The vast and expanding international market for raw silk, silk fabrics and
ready – mades, based on graded bivoltine silk, an export potential as yet
relatively little exploited by India.
In one of the efforts of the Indian Government to promote the sericulture Industry, the
National Sericulture Project (NSP) was initiated as a national project operational in 17
States in India. The projected funded by the Central and State Governments together with
an input of foreign funds, has a credit portion from the world bank and a grant
contribution from Swiss Development Corporation. The project was started in 1989 for a
period of six years with the objectives oriented toward increased production, improved
productivity, quality and equity. One of the critical elements taken into consideration by
the project was the dominant involvement of the Central and State Government
organizations in the promotion of sericulture.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT:-

“Human is a management function that helps, manages recruit, select, train and develops

INTEGRATION AMONG FUNCTIONS:-

Each business unit consists of several departments such as
manufacturing, sales, finance, HRD, MIS, marketing, finance R7D and
so on. All these departments should identify their basic course of
action in order to help the business unit attain its goals and objectives,
managers should be aware that all these functions are inter related and
must mesh its activities with the activities of other departments.
Because a change in one department will definitely affect the way in
which other departments operate.
29
MOTIVATION:-
“Motivation is the process that account for an individuals intensity,
direction, and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal”.
“Motivation is a process of stimulating people to action to accomplish
desired goals”.
MOTIVATION HAS THREE DISTINCT FEATURES:-

 It results from a felt need. Motivation triggers behaving
impelling a person to action.
 It is goal-directed. Motivation is a driving state that channels
behaviour into a specific course that is fulfillment of felt need.
 It sustains behaviour in progress. It persists until the
satisfaction or reduction of need state occurs.

• To boost the employees morale.
• To develop sound human relations.
• To increase efficiency and output.
• To develop team spirit.
• To inspire employees for responsible
and challenging jobs.
• To promote healthy competition among
employees.
PROBLEM BASED ON HRM DEPARTMENT
30
1) Everyone has motivational energy. Although many problem employees

display a marked lack of drive and commitment in their jobs, these qualities
are usually alive and well in other areas of their lives.
2) The energy which the problem employees possess is often blocked in the work
place. The blockage may occur because of new and sudden stress at home or
frustrated dreams or broken promises at work.
3) Removing blockage of energy requires peoples participation. To motivate an
employee to work towards organizational goals, it is necessary to find his or
her locus of energy and leverage it. Instead of pushing solutions on people
with the force of argument, the manager should pull solutions out of them.
4) Beyond a certain point, there is no need to show mercy to problem people.
THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME TIPS TO DEAL WITH PROBLEM

EMPLOYEES :
I. Try to reach out the employee even if it appears to be climb down on the
boss part. This is necessary in the interest of the organization. Failing
this, think of the next.
II. Change the place of work. Probably a new peers and a new environment
may change the employee. Failing this, think of the next.
III. Issue verbal threats-threats of severe actions. Severity of actions
contemplated to vary from workers to managers. Higher the hierarchy,
graver the severity. Failing this, think of the next.
IV. Translate threats into actions. If problem employees are workers,
suspension may work. If the problem employees are managers, sack
them.

MARKETING STRATEGIES:-
The present market context for silk in India is one of the vigorously growing
internal demand for silk fabrics, with growth rates of above 10% per year. It is mostly for
traditional (sari type) design and does not impose sophisticated quality requirements upon
the industry. This situation is likely to continue, unless Indian sericulture is able to
provide sufficient quantities of raw silk at affordable prices. The present trends
represents a limitation to price increases for silk produced in India by import from other
46
silk producing countries like China, Brazil, Korea etc., as well as by substitution with
other fibers including by artificial silk. It also appears unlikely that the present demands
can be met merely by expanding mulberry area in order to increase cocoon and raw silk
production. Future additional output is raw silk will therefore mostly have to come from
substantial productivity increases, mainly area and labor productivity.
Concurrently there is a growing demand for silk fabric among the growing Indian
middle class and young urban consumers. These modern silk fabrics typically are
produced by the expanding power loom weaving industry. The quality requirements
imposed by this trend can only be met by bivoltine raw silk for conventional power
looms. The bulk of todays world export demand is almost exclusively based on high
graded quality bivoltine raw silk. If Indian sericulture is unable to generate a substantial
production of bivolitne raw silk, these important market segments will continue to be lost
outside competitors.
HENCE THREE MAIN MARKET SEGMENTS OFFER GREAT

OPPURTUNITY TO INDIAS SILK INDUSTRY:-
o The broadening domestic traditional demand multi bivoltine based
o The domestic demand for non-traditional silk fabrics, based at least partly
on non-graded bivoltine raw silk
o The vast and expanding international market for raw silk, silk fabrics and
ready –mades, based on graded bivoltine silk, an export potential as yet
relatively little exploited by India.

5.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

1. Societal objectives
2. organizational objectives
 functional objectives
 personal objectives
3. functional objectives
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
55
1. DIRECT FEEDBACK: Employees should be able to get immediate knowledge

of the results they are achieving. The evaluation of performance can be built in to
the job (as in an electronic spell-checker indicating the presence or absence of
errors) or provided by a supervisor.
2. CLIENT RELATIONSHIP: An employee who serves a client or customer
directly as an enriched job. The client can be outside the firm (such as a mechanic
dealing with a car owner) or inside (such as computer operator executing a job for
another department).
3. NEW LEARNING : An enriched job allows its incumbent to feel that he is
growing intellectually. An assistant who clips relevant newspaper articles for his
or her boss is , therefore, doing an enriched job.
4. UNIQUE EXPERIENCE: An enriched job has some unique qualities or futures,
such as quality controller visiting a supplier.
5. CONTROL OVER RESOURCES: For each employee to have control over his
or her resources and expenses. For ex., He or she must have the authority to order
supplies necessary for completing his job.
6. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Communication skills refer to clarity of
thought correct word usage, grammatical accuracy proper delivery of messages,
correct spelling or pronunciation, and proper organization of sentences or
7. speeches. Absences of these makes it difficult for the receiver to understand the
message clearly.
8. SCHEDULING OWN WORK: Freedom of ones own work contributes to
enrichment. Deciding when to tackle which assignment is an example of self
scheduling. Employees who perform creative work have more opportunity to
schedule their assignments than those who perform routine jobs.
9. A qualified person must be selected by an interview.
10. Giving a proper apprenticeship training about the new technical machines to the
workers.
11. Well co-operation between the supervisors to the workers.
56
12. Quality raw material should be supply at a time.

13. Good relationship between the producers to the clients/consumers.
14. Proper communication skills must be applied to the organization.
15. Improving the growth of the organization like, development of technology,
communication skills, qualited raw materials and time management etc.
16. Unnecessary workers should be reduced
