INDUSTRY PROFILE
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
INDUSTRY PROFILE
The secret of silk was let outer of the bag in 200 BC. When
large number of people migrated from china and settled in Korea and carried with
them the secret of silk production. From then on the secret of silk slowly traveled
throughout Asia, it took about 500 years for the knowledge of silk production to reach
India, but it ones it did, and India soon started trading silk with Persians.
The Artistic and Aesthetic sense of Indian weavers is not content with striking
colors they choose for the fabrics, but lies in their mastery over the creation of floral
designs, beautiful textures, fine geometry and the durability of such work. The weaver
not only weaves with yarn but with intense feeling and emotion. In India, there are
number of silk weaving centers spread all over the country, known for their distinct and
typical style and products. For Indians, particularly ladies, silk is lifeline-the elixir.
Silk is always woven interwoven with way of life and culture of a region. Craftsmen
all over the Indian sub-continent tried to master the weaving of saris as exclusive as one
can think of, putting motif designs, colors, pattern and versatility in them. No two saris
can be of same designs left to the choice of weaver, thus there is innumerable pattern or
diversity. Over the years, specific centers sprung and developed to promote a particular
of design/ weaving and they became distinct.
The industry is presently gearing itself to meet the demand for good quality silk
for the power tom sector. Indian silk industry has grown manifold since the country’s
independence. Together with increasing production, productivity has also improved
considerably.
India has the unique distinction of being the only country producing all the five known
Commercial verities of silk i.e. Mulberry, Tropical tasar, Oak tasar, Eri and
Muga. India is the second producer of silk with annual production of raw silk around
17000-18000 MT, accounting for about 14% of total world raw silk production, next to
China, also the largest consumer of silk in the world. It has a strong tradition and
culture bound domestic market of silk. It is the only producer of muga, the golden
yellow silk in the world. Sericulture industry has been expanding very fast from last
more than 15 years.

ESTABLISHMENT OF CSB
The Technology in the area of sericulture has developed
tremendously. Even so, the Government of India has had to improve the innovative
activates in the development of sericulture industry. After the World War II, government
of India has concentrated more upon the development of the silk industry the important
of silk. During 1945, a silk development directorate was set up and a silk panel was also
established to extend suggestion for the development of sericulture industry in India. This
has resulted in the recommendation by the government for the establishment of the
Central Silk Board.
ORGANISATIONAL SETUP
The Board term is three years and it has 36 members including the chairman, vice
chairman, member secretary, representative of the LokSabha and the RajyaSabha,
nominees of the central and the state government’s and representative from among

PRODUCT PROFILE
Man has always inquisitive for silk products. SILK- the queen
of textiles spells luxury, elegance, class and comfort. Mankind has always loved this
shimmering fiber of unparalleled grandeur from the moment Chinese Empress Shilling Ti
discovered it in her tea cup. It withstood many a daunting challenges from other natural
and artificial fibers and yet, remained the undisputed Queen of textiles since centuries.
Exquisite qualities like the natural sheen, inherent affinity for dyes and vibrant colors,
high absorbance, light weight, resilience and excellent drape etc, have made silk, the
irresistible and inevitable companion of the eve, all over the world.
Silk is a high value but low volume product accounting for only 0.2% of the
world’s total textile production. Silk production is regarded as an important tool for
economic development of a country as it is a labour intensive and high income generating
industry that churns out value added product of economic importance. The developing
countries relay on it for employment generation, especially in rural sector and also as a
means to earn the foreign exchange.
All five major types of silk viz., Mulberry, Tasar, Oak tasar, Muga, Eri have
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, Bombxy mori that 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 and Kashmir which together accounts for 92% of country total
mulberry raw silk production.
Tasar: Tasar 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. The silkworm,
Antheraea mylitta that mainly thrive on the food plants Asan and Arjun generate 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 much
community in India.
Oak Tasar: It is a finer variety of tasar generated by the silkworm, Antheraea proyeli. in
India which feed on natural food plants of Oak found in abundance in the sub-Himalayan
belt of India covering the states of Manipur, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam,
Meghalaya and Jammu and Kashmir. China is the major producer of Oak Tasar in
the world and this comes from another silkworm, which is known as Antheraea pernyi.
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 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
product like saris, mekhalas, cheddars etc
Eri: Known as Endi or Errandi. It’s ranked non-mulberry silk production. Main Eri silk
production states are Assam and parts of Northeastern states. Ericulture is a household
activity practiced mainly for protein rich pupae, a delicacy for the tribal.

In a country like India, with huge unemployment and under employment problems,
sericulture has been considered as an excellent sector for generating employment and
poverty alleviation. One of the important areas for the development of silk industry as
well as generating employment is the promotion of prospective entrepreneurs to take us
sericulture-based activities. Keeping these objectives in view, the corporate and
enterprise development (C&ED), CSB is conducting various entrepreneurship
development programmers (EDPs) with specific pre cocoon and post-cocoon themes in
both traditional and non-traditional states. These programs aim at transforming individual
and prepare themes to take up viable sericulture based activities.
Central Silk Board is having region wise Developmental Centers whose main
functions are monitoring of all development plans and schemes viz., the Centrally
Sponsored Schemes (CDP) and other developmental Collaborative Projects and Schemes
implemented by the State Departments of Sericulture of respective Silk producing states .
The X plan envisages creating greater opportunities for gainful employment in rural areas
through the spread of scientific Seri cultural practices and by promoting modernization
and quality attention to the improvement of productivity in all stages of silk production to
ensure higher levels of income to the stakeholders, especially the vulnerable sections of
the society.
• Keeping the above objective in view and in order to achieve the targeted
production of both mulberry and non mulberry silks and to generate more employment in
sericulture sector CSB in coordinating with the State Govts is implementing various Schemes.
• CSB has continued implementation of CDP in a modified version by giving
greater trust to biovoltine sericulture and market orientation to non-mulberry sector during x plan
(2002-2007).
• The schemes for encouraging quality service clubs and NGO for augmentation
self employment, development of clusters, development of free and organized marketing system
for non mulberry sector, encouraging quality linked pricing of cocoons and silk, up gradation
and propagation of improved reeling technologies machined, design development and product
diversification. Introduction of quality certification system for silk worm seed, cocoon and yarn
on operational basis to boost the quality concept, eco friendly and integrated approaches for the
better management of soil, pests and disease, encouraging integrated forming system etc. would
certainty go a long way in giving a fillip to the industry. Special status has also been given to

CHAPTER-4
SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT ANLYSIS
STRENGTHS
⇒ Large pool of scientific talent and trained Manpower for R&D in silk sector.
⇒ Supports tribals, farmers and reelers, enhancing their output and income and quality
through transfer of appropriate technologies into the field.
⇒ ISO 9001-2000 certified Textile Testing Labs, Seed Production Centers and Training
Initiatives.
⇒ Protecting consumer’s interests through popularization of SILK MARK for purity silk.
⇒ Fully computerized office systems with appropriate software packages & trained
personnel.
⇒ Supply of quality seed to the sector through its seed production centers which is critical
for quality cocoon and silk production.
WEAKNESS
⇒ Lack of promotional avenues for different cadres resulting in low motivational levels
⇒ Lack of ability to modernize and upgrade the industry since this requires huge funds. The
reeling sector still uses traditional and old technology, the handlooms /power looms are totally
outdated and the processing machinery is crude.
.
⇒ Many of the State Governments especially in the NE region are not able to contribute
their share for the CDP schemes as per the Scheme parameters.
⇒ Stagnant/Shrinking global raw silk production opens up new opportunities for CSB to put
in place a plan to expand sericulture activities in India in order to meet the requirement of both
domestic & international markets.
⇒ There is tremendous scope for product diversification & by-product utilization, which
needs to be tapped.
⇒ Though lot of thrust has been given for Vanya silks there is tremendous untapped
potential due to its vast available natural resources, this offers abundant opportunities to expand
the sector.
⇒ Utilization of degraded forest and wastelands for growing non-mulberry host trees /
plants for increased production of Vanya Silks and consequently, more income to the
marginalized.
THREATS
⇒ In the recent liberalized trade scenario, large scale imports of raw silk as well as silk
fabric both through legal and illegal channels especially from China.
⇒ The domestic raw silk prices are largely dictated by the international silk prices.
⇒ In the event of downward price fluctuations there is a tendency for the farmer to
switchover to other lucrative agricultural & horticultural crops seriously affecting the domestic
raw silk production.
⇒ This sector like agriculture is largely dependent on the rainfall and soil conditions.
Failure of rains have led to uprooting of thousands of acres of mulberry gardens
CHAPTER-5
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS,
SUGGESTIONS &
CONCLUSIONS
