Silk, the Queen of textiles, is adored by all for its sheer sheen, luster, elegance, class and comfort. It has several natural properties like natural sheen, inherent affinity for dyes and vibrant colours, light weight, resilience and excellent drape etc. which makes it distinct from all other fibers both natural and man-made. Though silk products are consumed more by urban rich, its production is highly employment oriented, low capital intensive and remunerative that churns out value added products of economic importance, especially the rural people.

India is the second largest producer of silk in the world and the silk industry provides employment to about 7.8 million people in the rural and semi-urban areas in the country. The women participation in various activities in silk value chain is about 54%. The silk always attracts competition from synthetic fibers, though which look like silk.

Share your ideas and opinions on how to increase the demand for Indian silk in the country as well as abroad by exploring new products, designs, markets, fashion, trends, promotion measures, target groups, etc.

माननीय प्रघान मंत्री जी सार्क देशों के सम्मेलन में जो आज काठमांडू में हुआ। पाक के दृष्टि कोड से प्रतीत हुआ कि वह एशियाई देशों की कतार में अलग थलग प्रतीत हुआ।ऐसा लगता है वहां लोकतांत्रिक व लोकप्रिय व मजबूत सरकार नहीं है जहां पर देश वासियों के विकास व हित की रछा करने वाला प्रतिनिघित्व करने वाला मजबूत प्रघान मंत्री एक बेबस व लाचार है। जिसके पीछे अवाम नहीं है या वहां की हुकूमत की बागडोर किसी अन्य आका के हाथ में हो। इस तरह के ढुलमुल रवैये के चलते आप अपना व देश का समय बरबाद न करें।साथ ही अन्य देशों के साथ विकास की बात करें। जय हिन्द

We should have a separate group on "Population Control / जनसंख्या नियंत्रण" Overpopulation leads to various types of direct and indirect problem and affect all of us. If we have a separate group, we can discuss different aspects and how to control it for the betterment of mankind.

Today the provision of taxation is such that if a businessman/profession want to earn profit, then he/she should require to theft tax. lower the tax rate and let the market flow with huge money which parked in locker due to heavy and harsh tax rate and provision. I know many people who have money at there home but not investing in business only and only due to tax provision, tax rates and non availability of white capital.

Due to Inflation, when an ordinary person is not in a position to meet his daily needs, he is compelled to search othe
