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.

sir The word ‘officer’ in public servant’s designation framed in British rule is segregating themselves with a psychological superiority feeling from people to whom actually they have to serve. To change the authoritative mindset of the employees, it is better to use the word ‘servant’ instead of the word ‘officer’ in designations of every level of bureaucracy. If it is done by the union and state governments, good governance will be possible pleasing the public.

Another idea would be to open courses in universities teaching the harvesting of silk, introduc eeasy methods for citizens of USA and EU to take these courses, encourage fashion designers, costume guys, to use more silk in their work, it can be marketed as an alternative to leather for automobile seat covers, office seats, also silk belts: any ad campaign which simply says don't need to kill a cow to keep ur pants up will be effective

Mr pm, outers of railway carriages can be an effective ad space for digital and conventional ads giving room for revenue for ad space auctions for railways...regs Drdd all these are non taxing revenue generation options

Mr pm, budget ideas..we can enhance revenue by innovative means..on railways we can allow the platforms or the railway stations branded. A corporate can buy a right to brand their names for a railway platform or the railway station against an auctioned amount..this can give revenues to railways. The solar panelled platforms can create ad apace revenues, the tea cups served can have sleeves around them giving opportunity for delivering offers to customers, try In house train ad cable TVs drdd

MrPM, budget preparation started..few inputs..take off expenditure from budgets how? Many subsidies - try to allot to corporates who can take on them the regional subsidies , they can brand it and show this as Csr responsibility discharge.. They can brand the scheme like Tata Western region employment subsidy and so on.,,the govt can auction such rights and also get revenue.go for lean govt budgets by shedding some loads to private sectors regs Drdd Drdd

To improve our Indian silk, first put on tax for Importing from other countries, provoke farmers to grow silk by giving correct rates and good platform for selling their goods they had grown, avoid brokers in markets between farmers and buyers. Start govt markets in each district without brokers for purchase from farmers
