GENERAL INTRODUCTION

CENTRAL SILK BOARD

CENTRAL SILK BOARD established in 1949 as a statutory body

under government of India is a national organization for overall development of

Sericulture and Silk Industry. Its Head Quarter is located in Bengalore.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Origin of the Silk:

Although the history of silk is shrouded in mystery, some

historians say that silk originated in China about 10,000 years ago. Empress Siling of

China accidentally discovered it. Some 5000 years ago sitting under mulberry tree in

her on her palace garden when a cocoon fell in cup of tea & a strong white thread

unraveled itself. By the 14th century BC, the production of silk gradually developed

into an industry in china. In phase it became the principle elements of the Chinese

economy. Silk was used for musical instrument, fishing lines, bow strings and even

rag paper, the world’s first luxury paper. For than 2000 years, the China’s kept the

secret of silk themselves. It was one of the most zealously guarded secrets in history.

Any one found guilty of smuggling Silkworm eggs, cocoon, are mulberry seeds was

put to death. Silk became the cloth of emperors and royalty and the great sources of

wealth. Common people were prohibited to wearing silk. Even the merchants trading

silk were not allowed to wear the exclusive fabric. The Chinese used silk, in many

ways, civil servants paid in quantities of silks, and it was a way for the rules to reward


CENTRAL SILK BOARD there subject, silk was also used in currency in demotic as well as foreign trade.

Chinese traders exchanged their silk in return for spices and jewels bought in India,

Gradually people from different sectors of society began wearing tunics of silk

and silk came in to more general use.

The secret of silk was let outer of the bag in 200 BC. When

large number of people migrated from china and settled in Korea and carried with

them the secret of silk production. From then on the secret of silk slowly traveled

throughout Asia, it took about 500 years for the knowledge of silk production to reach

India, but it ones it did, and India soon started trading silk with Persians.

Geographically, Asia is the main producer of silk in the world

and produces over 90% of the total global output. Though there are over 40 countries

on the world map of silk, bulk of it is produced in China and India, followed by Japan,

Brazil and Korea. China is the leading supplier of silk to the world with an annual

production of 105360MT out of which the mulberry raw silk product is 87800 MT.

SILK INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Sericulture is a labour intensive agro industry ideally suited to

eradicate unemployment and solve the problem of underemployment further improves

the economic standards of rural poor as well export earnings reached to the peak of

rupees 880 cores during 96 to 97. Thus Seri industry attained a unique importance from

all sectors and become one of the fastest growing industries.

A notable feature of Indian sericulture is that the activity is basically a family

enterprise in a predominantly rural setting, generating 0.16 person year of employment

for every 1.0 kilograms of raw silk produced and used on handlooms. Effort of the


CENTRAL SILK BOARD Government of India in the post independence period paved the way for its resurgence

its growth has been rapid, especially during the last two decade. Silk has been

intermingled with the life and culture of the Indians. Though India is producing all the

varieties of silk i.e., Dress Materials, Scarves/Stoles, Readymade Garments, etc., the

silk saris are unique. The sari is almost synonymous with the word silk. It is the

traditional costume of Indian women since time immemorial. There are innumerable

references in Indian literature about this draped garment and the style of wearing differs

from time to time, region to region and people to people. The silk saris of India are

among the living examples of the excellent craftsmanship of the weavers of the

country.

The Artistic and Aesthetic sense of Indian weavers is not content with striking

colors they choose for the fabrics, but lies in their mastery over the creation of floral

designs, beautiful textures, fine geometry and the durability of such work. The weaver

not only weaves with yarn but with intense feeling and emotion. In India, there are

number of silk weaving centers spread all over the country, known for their distinct and

typical style and products. For Indians, particularly ladies, silk is lifeline-the elixir.

Silk is always woven interwoven with way of life and culture of a region. Craftsmen

all over the Indian sub-continent tried to master the weaving of saris as exclusive as one

can think of, putting motif designs, colors, pattern and versatility in them. No two saris

can be of same designs left to the choice of weaver, thus there is innumerable pattern or

diversity. Over the years, specific centers sprung and developed to promote a particular

of design/ weaving and they became distinct.

Globally however sericulture is being phased out in several developed countries

such as Japan and Korea due to economic growth and urbanization. European countries

like France, Italy and Spain that is used to have a verily large sericulture industry, are

no longer engaged in mulberry planting and silkworm rearing a similar transformation

is being observed with regard to China too in the recent years, in this contexts, India

has the comparative advantage and the potential to develop into a keep player in the

global market place for silk.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

The industry is presently gearing itself to meet the demand for good quality silk

for the power tom sector. Indian silk industry has grown manifold since the country’s

independence. Together with increasing production, productivity has also improved

considerably.

India has the unique distinction of being the only country producing all the five known

Commercial verities of silk i.e. Mulberry, Tropical tasar, Oak tasar, Eri and

Muga. India is the second producer of silk with annual production of raw silk around

17000-18000 MT, accounting for about 14% of total world raw silk production, next to

China, also the largest consumer of silk in the world. It has a strong tradition and

culture bound domestic market of silk. It is the only producer of muga, the golden

yellow silk in the world. Sericulture industry has been expanding very fast from last

more than 15 years.

During 2008-09, India produced 154610 MT of mulberry raw silk and

2760 MT of non-mulberry raw silks. On the export front the country has earned export

earnings of RS 3000 Crores during the year, which is 4% of the total textile earnings of

the country.

REASON FOR SILK INDUSTRY TO BE LAUNCHED IN INDIA

Realized the importance of sericulture as a rural industry

It has capacity to generate greater employment opportunities

It could meet both domestic and international demands

Device means to improve cultivation of mulberry plantation

CENTRAL SILK BOARD

COMPANY PROFILE

The Central Silk Board is a statutory body under the

administrative control of the ministry of textiles, Government of India, constituted by an

act of parliament (act no.LXI of 1948). Under the Indian constitution, silk industry would

fall under entry 52, list 1 (vii schedule), while trade, commerce in and the production,

supply and distribution of products of the industry fall in entry 33 of list III most states

have their own departments look after sericulture.

ESTABLISHMENT OF CSB

The Technology in the area of sericulture has developed

tremendously. Even so, the Government of India has had to improve the innovative

activates in the development of sericulture industry. After the World War II, government

of India has concentrated more upon the development of the silk industry the important

of silk. During 1945, a silk development directorate was set up and a silk panel was also

established to extend suggestion for the development of sericulture industry in India. This

has resulted in the recommendation by the government for the establishment of the

Central Silk Board.

ORGANISATIONAL SETUP

PRODUCT PROFILE

SILK AND SILK PRODUCTS:

Man has always inquisitive for silk products. SILK- the queen

of textiles spells luxury, elegance, class and comfort. Mankind has always loved this

shimmering fiber of unparalleled grandeur from the moment Chinese Empress Shilling Ti

discovered it in her tea cup. It withstood many a daunting challenges from other natural

and artificial fibers and yet, remained the undisputed Queen of textiles since centuries.

Exquisite qualities like the natural sheen, inherent affinity for dyes and vibrant colors,

high absorbance, light weight, resilience and excellent drape etc, have made silk, the

irresistible and inevitable companion of the eve, all over the world.

Chemically speaking, silk is made of proteins secreted in the fluid state by a

caterpillar, popularly known as ‘Silk Worm’. These silkworms feed on the selected food

plants and spin cocoons as a ‘Protective Shell’ to perpetuate the life. Silkworm has four

stages in its life cycle viz., Egg, Caterpillar, Pupa and Moth. Man interferes this life cycle

at the cocoon stage to obtain the silk, a continuous filament of commercial importance,

used in weaving of the dream fabric.

Silk is a high value but low volume product accounting for only 0.2% of the

world’s total textile production. Silk production is regarded as an important tool for

economic development of a country as it is a labour intensive and high income generating

industry that churns out value added product of economic importance. The developing

countries relay on it for employment generation, especially in rural sector and also as a

means to earn the foreign exchange.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

All five major types of silk viz., Mulberry, Tasar, Oak tasar, Muga, Eri have

obtained from different species of silkworms, which in turn feed on a number of food

plants. These are:

Mulberry: The bulk of the commercial silk produced in the world comes from this

variety and often silk generally refers to mulberry silk. Mulberry silk comes from the

silkworm, Bombxy mori that solely feeds on the leaves of mulberry plant. These

silkworms are completely domesticated and reared indoors. In India, the major

mulberry silk producing states are Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil

Nadu and Jammu and Kashmir which together accounts for 92% of country total

mulberry raw silk production.

Tasar: Tasar is copperish color, coarse silk mainly used for furnishings and interiors. It is

less lustrous than mulberry silk, but has its own feel and appeal. The silkworm,

Antheraea mylitta that mainly thrive on the food plants Asan and Arjun generate Tasar

silk is mainly produced in the states of Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Orissa, besides

Maharashtra, west Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. Tasar culture is the main stay for much

community in India.

Oak Tasar: It is a finer variety of tasar generated by the silkworm, Antheraea proyeli. in

India which feed on natural food plants of Oak found in abundance in the sub-Himalayan

belt of India covering the states of Manipur, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam,

Meghalaya and Jammu and Kashmir. China is the major producer of Oak Tasar in

the world and this comes from another silkworm, which is known as Antheraea pernyi.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

Muga: This golden yellow color silk is prerogative of India and the pride of Assam state.

It is obtained from semi-domesticated multivoltine silkworm, Antheraea assamensis.

These silkworms feed on the aromatic leaves of Som and Soalu plants and reared on trees

similar to that of Tasar. Muga culture is specific to the state of Assam and an integral part

of the tradition and culture of that state. The Muga silk and high value product is used in

product like saris, mekhalas, cheddars etc

Eri: Known as Endi or Errandi. It’s ranked non-mulberry silk production. Main Eri silk

production states are Assam and parts of Northeastern states. Ericulture is a household

activity practiced mainly for protein rich pupae, a delicacy for the tribal.

CORPORATE AND ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

In a country like India, with huge unemployment and under employment problems,

sericulture has been considered as an excellent sector for generating employment and

poverty alleviation. One of the important areas for the development of silk industry as

well as generating employment is the promotion of prospective entrepreneurs to take us

sericulture-based activities. Keeping these objectives in view, the corporate and

enterprise development (C&ED), CSB is conducting various entrepreneurship

development programmers (EDPs) with specific pre cocoon and post-cocoon themes in

both traditional and non-traditional states. These programs aim at transforming individual

and prepare themes to take up viable sericulture based activities.

In addition, CSB as also organizes, from time to time, different development

programmers like bankers training program (designed for sensitizing and updating the

Seri-knowledge base of the commercial in industrial bankers and officers from other

financial institutions, in the field of recent developments in sericulture front and various

Seri-based viable business options, so has to smoothen the flow of credit to the sector ),

Technology Up gradation Program (ensures transfer of appropriate technology from

research institutes to different silk clusters. It aims at looking into the needs of the

existing entrepreneurs and suggests way and means to upgrade and modernize the

technologies and their skills), in-house skill development program like Management

Development Program, Resource Development Program, Competence Training program

etc for the overall development of silk industry

Central Silk Board is having region wise Developmental Centers whose main

functions are monitoring of all development plans and schemes viz., the Centrally


CENTRAL SILK BOARD Sponsored Schemes (CDP) and other developmental Collaborative Projects and Schemes

implemented by the State Departments of Sericulture of respective Silk producing states .

COUNTRY DURING XI PLAN:

The X plan envisages creating greater opportunities for gainful employment in rural areas

through the spread of scientific Seri cultural practices and by promoting modernization

and quality attention to the improvement of productivity in all stages of silk production to

ensure higher levels of income to the stakeholders, especially the vulnerable sections of

the society.

Keeping the above objective in view and in order to achieve the targeted

production of both mulberry and non mulberry silks and to generate more

employment in sericulture sector CSB in coordinating with the State Govts is

implementing various Schemes.

CSB has continued implementation of CDP in a modified version by giving

greater trust to biovoltine sericulture and market orientation to non-mulberry

sector during x plan (2002-2007).

The schemes for encouraging quality service clubs and NGO for augmentation

self employment, development of clusters, development of free and organized

marketing system for non mulberry sector, encouraging quality linked pricing of

cocoons and silk, up gradation and propagation of improved reeling technologies

machined, design development and product diversification. Introduction of

quality certification system for silk worm seed, cocoon and yarn on operational

basis to boost the quality concept, eco friendly and integrated approaches for the

better management of soil, pests and disease, encouraging integrated forming

system etc. would certainty go a long way in giving a fillip to the industry.

CENTRAL SILK BOARD

CHAPTER-4

SWOT ANALYSIS


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

SWOT ANLYSIS

STRENGTHS

Large pool of scientific talent and trained Manpower for R&D in silk sector.

Supports tribals, farmers and reelers, enhancing their output and income and

quality through transfer of appropriate technologies into the field.

Major technological breakthroughs in mulberry varieties,silkworm races and

processing equipments.

ISO 9001-2000 certified Textile Testing Labs, Seed Production Centers and

Training Initiatives.

Protecting consumer’s interests through popularization of SILK MARK for

purity silk.

Fully computerized office systems with appropriate software packages &

trained personnel.

Supply of quality seed to the sector through its seed production centers

which is critical for quality cocoon and silk production.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

WEAKNESS

Lack of promotional avenues for different cadres resulting in low

motivational levels

Lack of proper market mechanism to support farmers/reelers from volatility

of prices, market fluctuations and planned production processes.

Lack of ability to modernize and upgrade the industry since this requires

huge funds. The reeling sector still uses traditional and old technology, the

handlooms /power looms are totally outdated and the processing machinery

is crude.

.

Many of the State Governments especially in the NE region are not able to

contribute their share for the CDP schemes as per the Scheme parameters.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

OPPORTUNITIES

Stagnant/Shrinking global raw silk production opens up new opportunities

for CSB to put in place a plan to expand sericulture activities in India in

order to meet the requirement of both domestic & international markets.

There is tremendous scope for product diversification & by-product

utilization, which needs to be tapped.

Though lot of thrust has been given for Vanya silks there is tremendous

untapped potential due to its vast available natural resources, this offers

abundant opportunities to expand the sector.

Development of non-mulberry silks gives tremendous scope for poverty

alleviation, employment generation in the tribal belts & the north-east.

Utilization of degraded forest and wastelands for growing non-mulberry

host trees / plants for increased production of Vanya Silks and consequently,

more income to the marginalized.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

THREATS

In the recent liberalized trade scenario, large scale imports of raw silk as

well as silk fabric both through legal and illegal channels especially from

China.

The domestic raw silk prices are largely dictated by the international silk

prices.

In the event of downward price fluctuations there is a tendency for the

farmer to switchover to other lucrative agricultural & horticultural crops

seriously affecting the domestic raw silk production.

This sector like agriculture is largely dependent on the rainfall and soil

conditions. Failure of rains have led to uprooting of thousands of acres of

mulberry gardens


CENTRAL SILK BOARD
