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.

We too want to spend some quality time with family and want enjoy stress free life . In order to minimize Commuting time I have few suggestions -Leave dedicated space for drainage, for gas lines, optical fibers, telephone lines etc -Make compulsory insurance to all the roads -Properly plan for alternate roads if some big projects such as Metro train is coming -Designate proper place for Autos, Bus and trucks -Avoid heavy vehicles entering into the city during 6AM to 8AM

As we know India has sign the mother of deals and because of this our people who have potential to develop our arms and ammunition are going away. So its my request to start new industry that help our Army, Navy, Air force to grow strong. And as it will be make in India, it will help to create job and less expenditure compare to dollars. It is a very serious matter and you should do something fast to improve our supply to defense sector. As China and Pakistan will remain a thread to us. Thankyou

Instead of making them more and more expensive thru jari , designs and such things , combine with cotton and make them cheap and comfortable and market them as great health and comfort enhancers. Also thru e-commerce make the transaction direct from producer to the user

Jharkhand Election: Dear Modi ji, I hate politician but only hope with you. Thought I am in Australia, I am very concerned for my state Jharkhand so I am writing to you. Points are below: 1. All BJP leader in Jharkhand including Arjun Munda are corrupt and not capable of dealing with corrupt bureaucrats so some kind of avatar needed. 2. Bureaucrats/Government official/contractors are looting and their children are enjoying the looted wealth in out side India. So put full stop on this. Thanks

If the high level officials and other dignataries start wearing these kind of stuff.. it will become more popular ... At all the airports if some stalls are kept.. it will boost the sales also.

Government should give good publicity to ahimsa silk which is in good demand among people who dont want to kill so many worms for their fashions.Though ahimsa silk is costly, as we Indians support AHIMSA ,I think If we do not stand for ahimsa silk nobody else will stand.Instead of only sarees which are costly we can go for chunnis,stolls,scarves ,kurtis etc. which will be affordable.

Two ways this can be done is to get the cost of manufacturing of silk products reduced so it is more affordable for one and all. Mass production to make these products easily available to all. This is how china sells its products.. the products are mass produced, are cheap and available easily in all markets.

i would like to tell that the Government's attempt to block the pornographic websites is a unnecessary attempt. As such a thing can never be implemented. However, it will have a serious impact and will flourish the pirated market in India once again. Domestic demand for such material will increase and may lead to rise illegal domestic production of such stuffs. Instead Government should focus on the pirated stores and streets where such illecit things are sold and its production in India itself.

इंडिया और दुनिया भर के designers और क्लॉथ manufactures से रेशम को अपने designs में सामिल करने हेतु प्रोत्साहित करना चाहिए. रेशम की ब्रांडिंग और publicity करनी चाहिए.
