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.

To increase the sell of indian handicrafts and silk products in abroad, Government should encourage the concerned departments to organize exhibition of above products in different cities of different countries every year where the products would be displayed for sell and the information about the products and how can they order these items online, would be given to the locals.

Dear Sir, I believe the best way to break the grid lock in parliament over the proposed bills is to advertise widely about the bills. I think the common man is as unaware of the bills as the MP/MLA. Get a debate going about GST / Insurance / Land Acqusition etc. Place advertisements in mainly regional dailies with bullet points of proposals and advantages. Make sure you put some disadvantages. Mr. Modi - I have never felt like this about my country. Thank you. You have my full support.

This in my opinion should be done by the government encouraging private entrepreneurs to promote silk. Promotion by the government is unstable and ineffective. We need to organize the silk textile sector and promote it by selling it on visible portals, such as online stores.

1. Create India brand stores in every major cities in US, Europe, China and Japan and sell through them. 2. Digitized portals which allows small business to sell their products (similar to Alibaba) 3. Create Silk Tourism and create markets in all airports. Create all airports similar to malls. 4. Create Fashion shows dedicated to Silk products and create Brand Ambassador. 5. Create new category of products like inner garments, thermal garments, sweaters, mufflers etc 6.

We have Textile companies but no real research both in production and fashion. I am from surat but whatever the research done that by local manufacturer, research institute Myntra is doing nothing as such. Most of Textile machines are imported from china. So despite it looks big industry but it runs like unorganize cottage industry. There have to link between all these.

Mr. Prime Minister, I have heard you talking at length on lot of topics in the past but Road Safety and driving sense is something we have always ignored. Probably the highest number of deaths are happening due to road accidents, should we not start sending social messages on various media channels to at least educate people on road safety. We all know how easily you can get a license in India, should there not be more diligent rules in place. I would love to contribute on this subject.
