1.2 INDUSTIAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

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 corers 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. Its 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
Page 5
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 without KSICs 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 percent 34.1%.
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.

Trade Mark:
There is no specific meaning or direct relation of trade mark with KSIC. There is a history behind this logo. Once companys 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.

CHAPTER- 2
INDUSTRY PROFILE 2.1 ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF CLOTHING

According to archaeologists and anthropologists, the earliest clothing probably consisted of fur, leather, leaves or grass, draped, wrapped or tied about the body for protection from the elements. Knowledge of such clothing remains inferential, since clothing materials deteriorate quickly compared to stone, bone, shell and metal artifacts. Archeologists have identified very early sewing needles of bone and ivory from about 30,000 BC, found near Kostenki, then the Soviet Union, in 1988. Ralf Kittler, Manfred Kayser and Mark Stoneking, anthropologists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, have conducted a genetic analysis of human body lice that indicates that they originated about 107,000 years ago. Since most humans have very sparse body hair, body lice require clothing to survive, so this suggests a surprisingly recent date for the invention of clothing. Its invention may have coincided with the spread of modern Homo sapiens from the warm climate of Africa, thought to have begun between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago. However, a second group of researchers used similar genetic methods to estimate that body lice originated about 540,000 years ago.
2.2 CLOTHING MATERIALS

Common clothing materials include:
Page 8
Cloth typically made of viscose cotton, flax, wool, hemp, ramie, silk, lyocell, or synthetic fibers such as Polyester and Nylon among many others. Down for down-filled parkas , Fur , Leather , Denim , Spandex ,
Less-common clothing materials include: Recycled paper , Jute , Rubber , PVC-Polyvinyl chloride , Recycled PET , Tyvek Rayon, Hemp, Bamboo, Recycled or Recovered Cotton Soy, Other Natural Fibers. 2.3 ORIGIN OF SILK - LEGEND OF LADY HSI-LING-SHIH Chinese legend gives the title Goddess of Silk to Lady Hsi-Ling-Shih, wife of the mythical Yellow Emperor, who was said to have ruled China in about 3000 BC. She is credited with the introduction of silkworm rearing and the invention of the loom. Half a silkworm cocoon unearthed in 1927 from the loose soil astride the Yellow River in Shanxi Province, in northern China, has been dated between 2600 and 2300 BC. Another example is a group of ribbons, threads and woven fragments, dated about 3000 BC, and found at Qianshanyang in Zhejiang province. More recent archeological finds - a small ivory cup carved with a silkworm design and thought to be between 6000 and 7000 years old, and spinning tools, silk thread and fabric. Fragments from sites along the lower Yangzi River reveal the origins of sericulture to be even earlier Sericulture or silk production has a long and colorful history unknown to most people.
For centuries the West knew very little about silk and the people who made it. Pliny, the Roman historian, wrote in his Natural History in 70 BC "Silk was obtained by removing the down from the leaves with the help of water". For more than two thousand years the Chinese kept the secret of silk altogether to themselves. It was the most zealously guarded secret in history.
Page 9
2.4 SILKWORM AND THE FAMILY

There are many indigenous varieties of wild silk moths found in a number of different countries. The key to understanding the great mystery and magic of silk, and China's domination of its production and promotion, lies with one species: the blind, flightless moth, Bombyx mori. It lays 500 or more eggs in four to six days and dies soon after. The eggs are like pinpoints one hundred of them weigh only one gram. From one ounce of eggs come about 30,000 worms which eat a ton of mulberry leaves and produce twelve pounds of raw silk. The original wild ancestor of this cultivated species is believed to be Bombyx mandarina Moore, a silk moth living on the white mulberry tree and unique to China. The silkworm of this particular moth produces a thread whose filament is smoother, finer and rounder than that of other silk moths. Over thousands of years, during which the Chinese practiced sericulture utilizing all the different types of silk moths known to them, Bombyx mori evolved into the specialized silk producer it is today; a moth which has lost its power to fly, only capable of mating and producing eggs for the next generation of silk producers.
2.5 THE SECRET OF SERICULTURE

Producing silk is a lengthy process and demands constant close attention. To produce high quality silk, there are two conditions which need to be fulfilled preventing the moth from hatching out and perfecting the diet on which the silkworms should feed. Chinese developed secret ways for both. The eggs must be kept at 65 degrees F, increasing gradually to 77 degrees at which point they hatch. After the eggs hatch, the baby worms feed day and night every half hour on fresh, hand-picked and chopped mulberry leaves until they are very fat. Also a fixed temperature has to be maintained throughout. Thousands of feeding worms are kept on trays that are stacked one on top of another. A roomful of munching worms sounds like
Page 10
heavy rain falling on the roof. The newly hatched silkworm multiplies its weight 10,000 times within a month, changing color and shedding its whitish-gray skin several times. The silkworms feed until they have stored up enough energy to enter the cocoon stage. While they are growing they have to be protected from loud noises, drafts, strong smells such as those of fish and meat and even the odor of sweat. When it is time to build their cocoons, the worms produce a jelly-like substance in their silk spinning a cocoon around them until they look like puffy, white balls. Pupas The cocoons are then dipped into hot water to loosen the tightly woven filaments. These filaments are unwound onto a spool. Each cocoon is made up of a filament between 600 and 900 meters long! Between five and eight of these super-fine filaments are twisted together to make one thread. Finally the silk threads are woven into cloth or used for embroidery work. Clothes made from silk are not only beautiful and lightweight, they are also warm in cool weather and cool in hot weather. Literary sources such as The Book of History and The Book of Rites give further information about sericulture. Reeling silk and spinning were always considered household duties for women, while weaving and embroidery were carried out in workshops as well as the home. In every silk-producing province the daughters, mothers and grandmothers of every family devoted a large part of the day for six months in a year to the feeding, tending and supervision of silkworms and to the unraveling, spinning, weaving, dyeing and embroidering of silk. By the fifth century BC, at least six Chinese provinces were producing silk. Each spring, the empress herself inaugurated the silk-raising season, for silk production was the work of women all over China. The technique and process of sericulture were guarded secrets and closely controlled by Chinese authorities. Anyone who revealed the secrets or smuggled the silkworm eggs or cocoons outside of China would be punished by death.

2.6 SILK DEVELOPMENT IN CHINA

When silk was first discovered, it was reserved exclusively for the use of the ruler. It was permitted only to the emperor, his close relations and the very highest of his dignitaries. Within the palace, the emperor is believed to have worn a robe of white silk; outside, he, his principal wife, and the heir to the throne wore yellow, the color of the earth. Gradually the various classes of society began wearing tunics of silk, and silk came into more general use. As well as being used for clothing and decoration, silk was quite quickly put to industrial use by the Chinese. This was something which happened in the West only in modern times. Silk, indeed, rapidly became one of the principal elements of the Chinese economy. Silk was used for musical instruments, fishing-lines, bowstrings, bonds of all kinds, and even rag paper, the word's first luxury paper. Eventually even the common people were able to wear garments of silk. During the Han Dynasty, silk ceased to be a mere industrial material and became an absolute value in itself. Farmers paid their taxes in grain and silk. Silk began to be used for paying civil servants and rewarding subjects for outstanding services. Values were calculated in lengths of silk as they had been calculated in pounds of gold. Before long it was to become a currency used in trade with foreign countries. This use of silk continued during the Tang as well. It is possible that this added importance was the result of a major increase in production. It found its way so thoroughly into the Chinese language that 230 of the 5,000 most common characters of the mandarin "alphabet" have silk as their "key". A number of archaeological discoveries showed that silk had become a luxury material appreciated in foreign countries well before the opening of the Silk Road by the Chinese. For example, silk has been found in the Valley of Kings in a tomb of a mummy dating from 1070 BC. First the Greeks, then the Romans began to speak of the Seres (people of silk), a term to designate the inhabitants of the far-off kingdom, China.
Page 12
According to Certain historians, the first Roman contacts with silk were that of the legions of the governor of Syria, Crassus. At the Battle of Carrhae, near to the Euphrates, the legions were said to be so surprised by the brilliance of the banners of Parthia that they fled.
Chinese silk trade route in ancient history time around 200 BC:
2.7 A SECRET OUT TO THE WORLD

In spite of their secrecy, however, the Chinese were destined to lose their monopoly on silk production. Sericulture reached Korea around 200 BC, when waves of Chinese immigrants arrived there. Silk reached the West through a number of different channels. Shortly after AD 300, sericulture traveled westward and the cultivation of the silkworm was established in India. It is also said that in AD 440, a prince of Khotan (todays Hetian)--a kingdom on the rim of Taklamakan desert -- courted and won a Chinese princess. The princess smuggled out silkworm eggs by hiding them in her voluminous hairpiece. This was scant solace to the silk-hungry people of the West, for Khotan kept the secret too. Why share it with the westerners and kill a good market? Then around AD 550, two Nestorian monks appeared at the Byzantine Emperor Justinian's court with silkworm eggs hid in their hollow bamboo staves. Under their supervision the eggs hatched into worms, and the worms spun cocoons. Byzantium was in the silk business at last. The Byzantine church and state created imperial workshops, monopolizing production and keeping the secret to them. This allowed a silk industry to be
Page 13
established in the Middle East, undercutting the market for ordinary-grade Chinese silk. However high-quality silk textiles, woven in China especially for the Middle Eastern market, continued to bring high prices in the West, and trade along the Silk Road therefore continued as before. By the sixth century the Persians, too, had mastered the art of silk weaving, developing their own rich patterns and techniques. It was only in the 13th century the time of the Second Crusadesthat Italy began silk production with the introduction of 2000 skilled silk weavers from Constantinople. Eventually silk production became widespread in Europe.
2.8 SILK IN INDIA

India is the second largest producer of silk, contributing to about 18 per cent to the world production. What is however, more noteworthy is the fact that India's requirement of raw silk is much higher than its current production at present. Thus, there is considerable scope for stepping up production of raw silk in the country, overcome the persistent conflict of interest between exporters of silk products and producers of raw silk. While sericulturists want imports of raw silk to be restricted to have better market for their produce, exporters want imports of cheaper raw silk so as to be able to export more silk products at competitive rates. India has all the four varieties of silk namely, mulberry, tassar, eri and muga. It is however, disheartening to note that we have not yet been able to fully exploit this advantage and make our presence felt on the international scene more prominently than at present. For this, one has to clearly understand the strengths and weaknesses of different segments of this sector. The strength of this industry lies in its wide base, the sustaining market demand pull especially from the Indian handloom weaving sector, the infrastructure created by the national sericulture project and the research and training capabilities. India is the second largest producer of silk with 18475 MT (2006-07) and also the largest consumer of silk in the world. It has a strong tradition and culture bound domestic market of silk. In India, mulberry silk is produced mainly in the states of Karnataka,
Page 14
Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Jammu & Kashmir and West Bengal, while the nonmulberry silks are produced in Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Orissa and north-eastern states.
2.9 SILK TYPES

There are five major types of silk of commercial importance, obtained from different species of silkworms which in turn feed on a number of food plants. These are: Mulberry: The bulk of the commercial silk produced in the
world comes from this variety and often silk generally refers to mulberry silk. Mulberry silk comes from the silkworm, Bombyx mori L. which solely feeds on the leaves of mulberry plant. These silkworms are completely domesticated and reared indoors. In India, the major mulberry silk producing states are Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Jammu & Kashmir which together accounts for 92 % of country's total mulberry raw silk production.
2. Tasar: Tasar (Tussah): is copperish color, coarse silk mainly used for furnishings
and interiors. It is less lustrous than mulberry silk, but has its own feel and appeal. Tasar silk is generated by the silkworm, Antheraea mylitta which mainly thrive on the food plants Asan and Arjun. The rearings are conducted in nature on the trees in the open. In India, tasar silk is mainly produced in the states of Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Orissa, besides Maharashtra, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. Tasar culture is the main stay for many a tribal community in India.
3. Oak Tasar: It is a finer variety of tasar generated by the silkworm, Antheraea proyeli
J. in India which feed on natural food plants of oak, found in abundance in the subHimalayan belt of India covering the states of Manipur, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh,
Page 15
Assam, Meghalaya and Jammu & Kashmir. China is the major producer of oak tasar in the world and this comes from another silkworm which is known as Antheraea pernyi.
4. Eri:
Also known as Endi or Errandi, Eri is a multivoltine silk spun from open-ended cocoons, unlike other varieties of silk. Eri silk is the product of the domesticated silkworm, Philosamia ricini that feeds mainly on castor leaves. Ericulture is a household activity practiced mainly for protein rich pupae, a delicacy for the tribal. Resultantly, the eri cocoons are open-mouthed and are spun. The silk is used Indigenously for preparation of chaddars (wraps) for own use by these tribals. In India, this culture is practiced mainly in the north-eastern states and Assam. It is also found in Bihar, West Bengal and Orissa.
5. Muga:
This golden yellow color silk is prerogative of India and the pride of Assam state. It is obtained from semi-domesticated multivoltine silkworm, Antheraea assamensis. These silkworms feed on the aromatic leaves of Som and Soalu plants and are reared on trees similar to that of tasar. Muga culture is specific to the state of Assam and an integral part of the tradition and culture of that state. The muga silk and high value product is used in products like sarees, mekhalas, chaddars, etc
2.10 Indian Scene:

In India the silk industry has grown technologically as silk fabric is associated with status and luxury.
Page 16
Central Silk Board has taken a Lot of Initiatives to Develop Silk Sarees in India. They are: Basic planting material of high-yielding varieties of silkworm food plants.

2.15 MAINTENANCE OF KSIC SILK SAREES.

With reference to customers welfare, KSIC has given below Tips for Maintaining & Handling of KSIC Silk Sarees: The customers who have purchased silk fabrics and sarees from KSIC are requested to take precautions and handle the silk as per the following instructions to maintain its luster and look. Never keep your silks in plastic bags. They tend to trap moisture and spoil the silk and Zari. Always warp them in clean, soft cloth. Avoid wool and paper. Silk should best be dry-cleaned. At home you can wash them with soft detergents. Soap nut boiled in water, yielding a soft lather is best for silks. For ironing you could take to the dry-cleaners for steam-ironing. Never press the saree with a hot iron directly. Keep a thin, white linen cloth on top while ironing. For protection against cockroaches and other insects use any mild repellent, instead of naphthalene balls. Expose your Zari sarees to the sun once in a while {twice in a year} Change the folds of the saree frequently to avoid tell-take marks. It can gather dust and even tear, if kept in one fold constantly.

MARKETING STRATEGIES:The present market context for silk in India is one of the vigorously growing internal demands 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 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.
Page 47
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 bivalent 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.
