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.

PLIGHT OF COMMON MAN: When he buys Vegetables & Fruits he gets cheated on Weight by vendors. When disposes scrap items, raddi etc. he gets cheated by the shop keeper. BMC/RTO do not enforce vehicle parking with the result common man has to walk on the road endangering his life. BMC does not give all guidelines of Redevelopment in PUBLIC DOMAIN with the result builders cheat society and both BMC & Developer enjoy the booty! If tackled, people all over the country would stand benefitted.

Instead of Exporting Raw Materials such as just cotton or silk threads.We can Export finished products which will increase trade profit.The two big Factors are Quality and price.The price should be reasonable and The quality should be international level which will attract foreigners to buy ours.

My suggestion regarding 3 tier panchayat system in India there should be important role for members of gram panchayat and Chetram panchayat for the development and policy decisions and there should be a fund for the area development through the members like as ward members in terms of urban local bodies.

Insatiable demand of gold may make most indians King Midas. They (& India) will have only worthless gold (with very low int'l prices) & no jobs or other products & services IF gold import is not restricted. Heartiest compliments to NDA govt for quietly doing this. Keep the restrictions rising slowly. Indians have > 20,000 old gold. Its recycling will keep all gold trade (and even export of gem & jewellery) unaffected for centuries. Also opening gold mining is a great initiative.
