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.

Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for improving relations with Nepal as it was always necessary and I do not why previous governments did not took it seriously. Nepal had helped us in the past and the one of the two countries in our neighborhood we need not have passport to visit. I hope and trust that other neighboring countries would soon realize that it is good for them to have cordial relations with us. It is unfortunate that Pakistan and Bangladesh are wasting time by wait and watch aproach.

Reservations for education and jobs are an important tool to uplift the backward sections of our society. But these are not reaching most people it was intended for but cornered by select few who may not even need it. Could we bring in legislation that would exclude candidate’s whose parents have benefited from our reservation policy. Such policy would ensure that increased coverage of the under privileged section of the society and also discourage the second generation from being complacent.
