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.

Hello sir Indian postal service ek bahut hi vyapak sanstha hai. Par rural area aur small town-city mein kabhi kabhi pareshani hoti hai. Ek request aur suggestion hai ki kai baar aisa hota hai ki post ki gayee vastu ya letter kisi karanvash deliver hi nahi hota. Galat address ya phir koi prashasnik chuk ki vajah se wo post delivered nahi hota. To kya aap aisi vyavastha kar sakate hain ki iss undelivered and unclaimed postal material ki jankari online mile. Iss tarah agar koi important letter ho to vah vyakti vyaktigatrup se post office mein jakar apni pehachan batakar vah letter ya parcel hasil kar sake. Thank you.

I see a big potential in export of silk products in Western countries, for example scarves. It is really popular to wear scarves in Europe during the colder months and Indian manufacturers should be able to provide higher quality products at cheaper rates than the synthetic ones. Steps to increase demand for Indian silk products: 1. Create global awareness via a strong marketing campaign. 2. Adapt the silk products to each market in terms of design trends,cost, quality, target groups, etc.

Dear sir, Today while coming back from the office my cab was at the traffic signal waiting for the lights to turn green and then somehting happened which describes the laxity in planning, An ambulance in a long que of vehicals with driver screeming vehemently to clear the road so that ambulance can be manuvered out of the jam. Sir the thing is when we can have dedicated flyovers for Airports then why cant we have dedicated approaches for Premier Hospitals AIIMS n all, can be fine tuned POSSIBLE.

Dear Narendrabhai, Under Swachcha Bharat Abhiyaan, payment for building individual toilets must be made to all be it APL or BPL. Because,we need to ensure that none defecates in d open. I thank you for enhancing cost unit n more importantly delinking it from MGNREGA as it proved to be detrimental to the implementation.

Dear Narendrabhai, Swachcha Bharat Abhiyaan is novel idea which has caught d attention of not not only d nation but also d world. People are showing so much enthusiasm like never before in d independent Bharat .It's turning out to be an abhiyaan in true sense. Toilet is an important segment of it. There are some grey area in implementing SBM.One,only BPLs are funded to build individual toilets.As we need to ensure open defecation free nation pl PAY ALL,atleast in rural dwellers.

माननीय प्रधान सेवक जी, मै आपका ध्यान वेतन विसंगिकता की ओर आकृष्ट करना चाहता हूँ.क्या षष्टम वेतन आयोग केवल सरकारी कर्मचारियों के लिए ही है?क्या मह्गाई भत्ता केवल सरकारी कर्मचारियों के लिए है? मेरा आग्रह है की ये सभी सुविधाए प्राइवेट लिमिटेड कंपनियों में कार्य करने वाले कर्मचारियों के लिए भी सुनिश्चित करे.एक चौथाई आबादी के अच्छे दिन तुरत आ जायेंगे.
