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.

Silk is a costly affairs, but India is famous for silk.Till now, the sericulture dept are wasting huge chunks of money on mulberry plantations and siphoning off govt funds. To promote silk, it must be handed over to cottage industries and agro-based industries. Growing of mulberry must be checked at large scale, providing jobs.Silk worm rearing must be trained through skilled developments and every village must be covered. Then silk must be used in various exportable products.

IN THIS ERA, YOUNGER GENERATION IS FAR AWAY FROM OUR TRADITIONS.NOW A DAYS SILK IS ONLY USED AS PARTY WEAR. AND AFTER 20 YEAR DEMAND OF SILK PRODUCT WILL COME DOWN TO 5% OF DEMAND IN 2014. BECAUSE ALL ARE MAD ABOUT WESTERN BRANDS. DEMAND CAN BE INCREASED THROUGH APPLICATION OF NEW GENERATION TRENDS IN SILK PRODUCT. GIVING INCENTIVES TO THE PRODUCERS, HIGH TAX FOR WESTERN BRANDS. GENERATING DEMAND AMONG THE NEW GENERATION BY EDUCATING THEM ABOUT OUR TRADITIONAL DRESS CODE AND ITS IMPORTENS

HUGE AMOUNT CAN BE LEVIED AS INCOME TAX, IF THE IT DEPARTMENT IS STRENGTHENED. LACK OF NEEDED HR ALL THE PROCESS IS DELAYING. IF THE HR OF IT DEPARTMENT IS DOUBLED, WE CAN GET MORE THAN FIVE TIMES ADDITIONAL INCOME FROM INCOME TAX..

First, synthetic sarees and dress materials should be discouraged by additional tax. On the other hand silk production should be encouraged with incentives. If film stars and sport stars are persuaded top wear silk, most will follow.

All the religious place need 2B checked by police or mohalla committee comprising people from different religions. All riligious places should be constructed at proper places with approved plans to avoid situation like Satlok Asharam which had only 1 gate.Most religious places have become Dens of Dons and money spinners for organisers.In Delhi one temple on old Rohtak road has encroched half of railway land and half of main road without any action.Pusa road crossing has been encroached etc.

The honourable Modi government introduced bank account to all people programme. It is the one of the most advanced econonomic reform in India ever witnessed. But on the contrary Reserve bank has introduced service charges to ATM transactions and now SBI has introduced service charges to cash transactions even in bank's branches. It is a grave mistake government is allowing banks to loot poor people's money. How many Indians can keep Rs 1lakh minimum balance in their account. Cancel this policy
