HIGHLIGHTS

Indian Textile Industry has an overwhelming presence in the economic life of the country. Apart

from providing one of the basic necessities of life, the textile industry also plays a pivotal role through its contribution to industrial output, employment generation and the export earnings of the country. It contributes about 14% to the industrial production, 4% to the GDP and 11% to the country’s export earnings. The textile sector is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture.

The Indian textiles industry is extremely varied, with the hand-spun and handwoven sector at one end of the spectrum, and the capital intensive, sophisticated mill sector at the other. The decentralized powerlooms/ hosiery and knitting sector form the largest section of the Textiles Sector. The close linkage of the Industry to agriculture and

the ancient culture, and traditions of the country make the Indian textiles sector unique in comparison with the textiles industry of other countries. This also provides the industry with the capacity to produce a variety of products suitable to the different market segments, both within and outside the country.

The major sub-sectors that comprise the textiles sector include the organized Cotton/Man-Made Fibre Textiles Mill Industry, the Man-Made Fibre/Filament Yarn Industry, the Wool and woollen Textiles Industry, the Sericulture and Silk Textiles Industry, Handlooms, Handicrafts, the Jute and Jute Textiles Industry, and Textiles Exports.

TECHNOLOGY UPGRADATION FUND SCHEME (TUFS)

The Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) was launched on April 1, 1999, for a period of five years, and was

ES subsequently extended upto March 31, 2007. The Scheme provides for interest reimbursement/capital subsidy/Margin Money subsidy and has been devised to bridge the gap between the cost of interest and the capital component to ease up the working capital requirement and to reduce the transaction cost, etc. The Scheme is an important tool to infuse financial support to the textiles industry and help it capitalize on the vibrant and expanding global and domestic markets, through technology upgradation, cost effectiveness, quality production, efficiency and global competitiveness. The progress of TUFS is detailed at Chapter-3.

SCHEME FOR INTEGRATED TEXTILES PARK (SITP)

Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP): The ‘Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP)’ was Approved in the 10th Five Year Plan to provide the industry with world-class infrastructure facilities for setting up their textile units by merging the erstwhile ‘Apparel Parks for Exports Scheme (APES) and Textile Centre Infrastructure Development Scheme (TCIDS).

SCOPE OF THE SCHEME:

The scheme targets industrial clusters/locations with high growth potential, which require strategic interventions by way of providing world-class infrastructure support. The project cost covers common infrastructure and buildings for production/support activities, depending on the needs of the ITP. There will be flexibility in setting up ITPs to suit the local requirements.

This Scheme is implemented through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), where. Industry Associations/Group of Entrepreneurs are the main promoters of the Integrated Textiles Park (ITP).

At each, ITP, there would be a separate Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed with the representatives of local Industry, Financial Institutions, State and Central Government. SPV shall invariably be a Corporate Body registered under the Companies Act. Any different structure for the SPV requires the approval of the Project Approval Committee. The SPVs shall have operational autonomy so that they do not become surrogate Public Enterprises or be controlled by Central/State Governments. The details are at Chapter-3.

TEXTILE WORKERS’ REHABILITATION FUND SCHEME (TWRFS)

The Textile Workers’ Rehabilitation Fund Scheme came into force with effect from 15.09.1986 with the objective to provide interim relief to textile workers rendered unemployed as a consequence of permanent closure of any particular portion or entire textile unit. Assistance under the Scheme is payable to eligible workers only for the purpose of enabling them to settle in another employment. Such assistance is not heritable, transferable or capable of being attached on account of any other liabilities of the worker. The worker’s eligibility shall cease if he takes up employment in another registered or licensed undertaking. The rehabilitation assistance will not be curtailed if the worker fixes himself in a self-employment venture. The details are at Chapter-3.

TECHNICAL TEXTILES

Technical Textiles is the sunrise sector of the textile industry in India, with a current market size of Rs 57,000 crores and a growth rate poised to take off from the present 11%, to almost 20% during the 12th Five Year Plan. Technical Textiles are material products used primarily for their functional properties and have

CHALLENGESbecome a major industry segment globally, leading to an improved quality of life for citizens.

Technical Textiles are high performance textiles which find application not only in clothing but also in areas such as agriculture, medical, infrastructure development, automotive, aerospace, sports, protective clothing, packaging, etc. The global market size of Technical Textile Industry in 2010 was estimated to be Rs 5.72 trillion, which has grown at an annual rate of approximately 3% since 2005. Based on the past trend of growth and estimated end user segment growth, the market size of Technical Textiles in India is projected to Rs. 1.5 lakh crores for the year 2016-17 with a growth rate of 20% per annum.

TECHNOLOGY MISSION ON TECHNICAL TEXTILES (TMTT):

Technology Mission on Technical Textiles (TMTT) has been launched with two mini missions starting from 2010-11 to 2014-15 with a financial outlay of Rs. 200 crore. The objective the mission is to remove the impediments hampering the production of technical textiles in the country to meet growing demand in the domestic and export market. The details are at Chapter-3.

EXPORTS

India’s textiles and clothing industry is one of the mainstays of the national economy. It is also one of the largest contributing sectors of India’s exports worldwide. The report of Working Group constituted by the Planning Commission on boosting India’s manufacturing exports during 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17), envisages India’s exports of Textiles and Clothing at USD 64.11 billion by the end of March 2017. The textiles industry accounts for 14% of industrial production, which is 4% of GDP;

employs 45 million people and accounts for nearly 11% share of the country’s total exports basket.

COTTON

Cotton is one of the principal crops of the country and is the major raw material for domestic textile industry. It provides sustenance to millions of farmers as also the workers involved in cotton industry, right from processing to trading of cotton. The Indian textile industry consumes a diverse range of fibres and yarn, but is predominantly cotton based. The growth and all around development of cotton and cotton industry has a vital bearing on the overall development of the Indian economy. The details are at Chapter-5.

THE JUTE AND JUTE TEXTILES INDUSTRY

The Jute industry occupies an important place in the national economy of India. It is one of the major industries in the eastern region, particularly in West Bengal. Jute, the golden fibre, meets all the standards for ‘safe’ packaging in view of being a natural, renewable, biodegradable and eco-friendly product. It is estimated that that the jute industry provides direct employment to 0.37 million workers in organized mills and diversified units including tertiary sector and allied activities and supports the livelihood of around 4.0 million farm families. In addition there are a large number of persons engaged in the trade of jute.

In the world perspective, India is the major producer of both raw jute and jute products. Out of the total world production of Jute, Kenaf and allied fibre of 3.0 million tonnes in 2007-08, India produced 1.8 million tonnes. In percentage terms India accounted for 60 % of world production in 2007-08. Global production of jute and

In exercise of the power conferred by Sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Jute Packaging Materials (Compulsory use in Packing Commodities) Act, 1987, Ministry of Textiles issued Notification dated 31.10.2012 stipulating that minimum of 90% of food grain and 40% of sugar to be compulsorily packed in jute packaging material.

HANDLOOMS

Handloom weaving is one of the largest economic activities after agriculture

providing direct and indirect employment to more than 43 lakh weavers and allied workers. This sector contributes nearly 15% of the cloth production in the country and also contributes to the export earnings of the country 95% of the world’s handwoven fabric comes from India.

PRODUCTION IN THE HANDLOOM SECTOR

Resultant to the developmental and welfare measures initiated by the Government of India, the declining trend in production in the handloom sector had been arrested and from the year 2004-05 (except the year of recession in 2008-09) there in fact has been a considerable growth in production in the sector. Production in the handloom sector recorded a figure of 6900 million sq. meters in the year 2011-12, which is about 25% over the production figure of 5493 million sq. meters recorded in the year 2003-04.

REVIVAL, REFORM AND RESTRUCTURING PACKAGE

The Finance Minister in Budget of 2011-12, in acknowledgement of economic stress being faced by handloom weavers and societies due to inability to repay debts, announced a financial package for handloom sector. Pursuant to this, the Government of India approved a scheme called ‘Revival, Reform and Restructuring Package’ for handloom sector. The scheme includes one time waiver of overdue loans and interest of eligible handloom cooperative societies and handloom weavers and provides fresh credit with interest subsidy of 3% for 3 years with credit guarantee. The scheme is currently benefitting about 5250 eligible cooperative societies and around 50,000 handloom weavers. Further relaxation of the norms of the scheme is under consideration of the Government to widen the beneficiary coverage of the scheme.

ES who have made valuable contribution in keeping alive the handloom heritage. Each award consists of one mounted gold coin, one shawl and a citation. In addition, financial assistance to the extent of Rs. 6.00 lakh is also given to each of the Sant Kabir awardee to innovate and create 10 new products of high level of excellence, of high aesthetic value and high quality. 10 handloom weavers for the year 2009 and 8 handloom weavers for the year 2010 have been conferred for Sant Kabir Award by the President of India in a function held on 9th November, 2012 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.

BRAND BUILDING THROUGH HANDLOOM MARK:

Handloom Mark: The Handloom Mark has been launched to serve as a guarantee to the buyer that handloom product being purchased is a genuine handwoven product and not a powerloom or mill made product. The Textiles Committee is Implementing agency for promotion of Handloom Mark. As on 31st Jan 2013, 3.13 crore (cumulative) handloom mark labels have been sold to 10118 stakeholders. 813 retail outlets are selling handloom goods with handloom mark label.

Handloom Week: To promote, popularize and create awareness about the handloom products Handloom Week is celebrated every year from 21st to 27th December. During the Handloom Week, number of promotional and awareness programmes, publicity through newspapers, magazines, outdoor publicity, through electronic media is undertaken.

Marketing Events: The marketing events of various levels i.e. from district level, State level to national Level is organized by the State Governments to provide opportunity to handloom weaver and their agencies. During the year 2011-12, 740 marketing events were sanctioned During

the current year as on 20th Feb, 2013, 443 marketing events and 06 craft melas have been approved for dissemination of technological developments. Besides, 22 appropriate technology exhibitions have also been approved for dissemination of technological development.

HANDICRAFTS

The Handicrafts Sector plays a significant & important role in the country’s economy. It provides employment to a vast segment of craft persons in rural & semi urban areas and generates substantial foreign exchange for the country, while preserving its cultural heritage. Handicrafts have great potential, as they hold the key for sustaining not only the existing set of millions of artisans spread over length and breadth of the country, but also for the increasingly large number of new entrants in the crafts activity. Presently, handicrafts contribute substantially to employment generation and exports. The Handicraft sector has, however, suffered due to its being unorganized, with the additional constraints of lack of education, low capital, poor exposure to new technologies, absence of market intelligence, and a poor institutional framework.

The sector is estimated to employ Rs 68.86 lakh artisans at present and the export of handicrafts including handmade carpet upto November 2012 has been 12157.21 crores which shows an increase of 34.19% over the same period in financial year 2011-12, and the plan allocation during 2012-13 is Rs. 177.00 crores.

During the 2012-13 the Government of India implemented six generic central sector schemes for holistic growth and development of handicrafts sector in the country. The details are at Chapter-11.

POWERLOOM SECTOR

The decentralised powerloom sector is one of the most important segments of the Textile Industry in terms of fabric production and employment generation. It provides employment to 57.44 Lakh persons and contributes 62 percent to total cloth production in the Country. 60% of the fabrics produced in the powerloom sector is of man-made. More than 60% of fabric meant for export is also sourced from powerloom sector. The readymade garments and home textile sectors are heavily dependent on the powerloom sector to meet their fabric requirement.

There are approximately 5.24 Lakh Powerloom Units with 23.24 Lakh Powerlooms as on 30.09.2012. The technology level of this sector varies from obsolete plain loom to high tech shuttle-less looms. There are approximately 1,05,000 shuttleless looms in this sector. It is estimated that more than 75% of the shuttle looms are obsolete and outdated with a vintage of more than 15 years and have virtually no process or quality control devices / attachments. However, there has been significant upgradation in the

technology level of the powerloom sector during the last 5-6 years.

TECHNOLOGY UPGRADATION FUND SCHEME (TUFS)

The Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) was launched on April 1, 1999, for a period of five years, and was subsequently extended upto March 31, 2007. The Scheme provides for interest reimbursement/capital subsidy/Margin Money subsidy and has been devised to bridge the gap between the cost of interest and the capital component to ease up the working capital requirement and to reduce the transaction cost, etc. The Scheme is an important tool to infuse financial support to the textiles industry and help it capitalize on the vibrant and expanding global and domestic markets, through technology upgradation, cost effectiveness, quality production, efficiency and global competitiveness.

During its initial years, the progress of the Scheme was moderate and it gained momentum from 2004-05 onwards. The Scheme has been further extended till 2012 with modified financial and operational parameters which focus on additional capacity building, better adoption of technology, and provides for

a higher level of assistance to segments that have a larger potential for growth, like garmenting, technical textiles, and processing. The scheme is administered through 3 nodal agencies, 36 nodal banks and 108 co-opted PLIs. The scheme since inception has propelled investment of more than Rs. 243721Crores. An amount of Rs. 16315.80 crore has been released towards subsidy under the Scheme as on 31.01.2013.

Planning Commission has approved an allocation of Rs. 11952.80 crore under TUFS for the 12th Five Year Plan. The Restructured TUFS ensure focus of interventions on hitherto slow growing sectors like weaving, encouragement to forward integration and tighter administrative controls and monitoring of the scheme. The Restructured TUFS is expected to trigger additional investments of approximately Rs. 1,50,000 crore during 12th Five Year Plan

Progress of TUFS

The progress of TUFS is steadily going up which is evident from the data given at following tables:

SCHEME FOR INTEGRATED TEXTILES PARK (SITP)

Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP): The ‘Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP)’ was Approved in the 10th Five Year Plan to provide the industry with world-class infrastructure facilities for setting up their textile units by merging the erstwhile ‘Apparel Parks for Exports Scheme (APES) and Textile Centre Infrastructure Development Scheme (TCIDS).

Scope of the Scheme:

The scheme targets industrial clusters/locations with high growth potential, which require strategic interventions by way of providing world-class infrastructure support. The project cost covers common infrastructure and buildings for production/support activities, depending on the needs of the ITP. There will be flexibility in setting up ITPs to suit the local requirements.

This Scheme is implemented through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), where. Industry Associations/Group of Entrepreneurs are the main promoters of the Integrated Textiles Park (ITP).At each, ITP, there would be a separate Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed

with the representatives of local Industry, Financial Institutions, State and Central Government. SPV shall invariably be a Corporate Body registered under the Companies Act. Any different structure for the SPV requires the approval of the Project Approval Committee. The SPVs shall have operational autonomy so that they do not become surrogate Public Enterprises or be controlled by Central/State Governments.

The components of an ITP are broadly divided in the following groups:-

a) Group A - Land. b) Group B – Common Infrastructure

like compound wall, roads, drainage, water supply, electricity supply including captive power plant, effluent treatment, and telecommunication lines etc.

c) Group C – Buildings for common facilities like testing laboratory (including equipments), design center, training center (including equipments), trade center/display center, ware housing facility/ raw material depot, one packaging unit, crèche, canteen, workers hostel, offices of service providers, labour rest and recreation facilities, marketing support system (backward/forward linkages) etc.

COTTON

Cotton is one of the principal crops of the country and is the major raw material for domestic textile

industry. It provides sustenance to millions of farmers as also the workers involved in cotton industry, right from processing to trading of cotton. The Indian textile industry consumes a diverse range of fibres and yarn, but is predominantly cotton based. Indian Textile Industry has an overwhelming presence in the economic life of the country. Apart from providing one of the basic necessities of life, the textile industry also plays a pivotal role through its contribution to industrial output, employment generation and the export earnings of the country. It contributes about 14% to the industrial production, 4% to the GDP and 11% to the country’s export earnings. The textile sector is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture. Hence, growth and all around development of cotton and cotton industry has a vital bearing on the overall development of the Indian economy.

Acreage under cotton cultivation

Acreage under cotton in India has reduced marginally. The cotton acreage in 2012-13 has been projected at 116.14 lakh hectares as against 121.7 lakh hectares in previous year.

Approximately 65% of Indian’s cotton is produced on rainfed areas and 35% on irrigated lands. Cotton farmers in India have been showing increasing inclination in bringing more and more areas under Bt cultivation, which has helped them in increasing their net earning through higher yields and lower cost on pesticides consumption.

Indian cotton varieties

India is the only country to grow all four species of cultivated cotton Gossy piumarboreum and herbaceum (Asian cotton), G.barbadense (Egyptian cotton) and G. hirsutum (American Upland cotton). Gossypiumhirsutumre presents 90% of the hybrid cotton production in India and all the current Bt cotton hybrids are G.hirsutuim. India produces large number of cotton varieties and hybrids. Though the number of varieties in cultivation exceeds seventy-five, 98% of the production is contributed by about 25 varieties only.

Cotton production and productivity

Cotton is produced in India in three zones viz., Northern zone comprising the States of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, Central zone comprising the States of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat and Southern zone comprising the States of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Besides these nine States, cotton cultivation has gained momentum in the eastern State of Orissa.

With increased acreage and advent of Bt cultivation, the country has achieved cotton production of 5.90 million metric tons in cotton season 2011-12 as against 5.76 million metric tons in the previous year. The country has once again retained the position as the second largest cotton producing country in the world, after China.

The cotton yield during the year 2012-13is estimated at 489kgs per hectare as against 493kgs per hectare in previous year.

ES The State-wise production of cotton during 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 (provisional) cotton years (October-September) are is given at table 5.1.

Demand and Supply Situation

In the first half of the year under review i.e. April to September 2012, with piling up of inventory, the demand for yarn both domestically and internationally had been subdued faced with high priced raw materials, difficulties to access credit by the spinners, declining prices of cotton yarn and competition from chemical fibres. Subsequently, with slow down in demand and large finished goods inventory, capacity utilization by spinning mills dropped down to one-third of optimal

utilization, thereby further declining the operating profit margin of spinners.

However, with a view to arrest downward pressure and help stabilize the prices of cotton and cotton yarn, the Government of India reinstated DEPB benefits on export of cotton yarn and cotton with retrospective effect from 1st April 2011 and 1st October 2010 respectively and removed of cap on cotton exports. Still the operating profitability of spinners remained under pressure which had affected the overall demand for cotton domestically & internationally and the mills preferred to purchase cotton to meet immediate requirements rather that building lean season requirement. However the Cotton Season 2012-13 has seen an improvement in domestic consumption at

Export & Import of cotton

The Government of India has decided to allow the exports of cotton under OGL subject to prescribed registration procedures from 1st October, 2012 for the cotton season 2012-13.There was no export demand in the initial months of the Cotton Season 2012-13 for Indian cotton, due to global over stocking by countries like China. As a result, cotton exports from the country during the year 2012-13, has been projected to be80.00 lakh bales as against 128.81 lakh bales in previous year.

Imports of cotton into India are under Open General Licence (OGL) since April 1994 and since July 2008, the Government of India had abolished the import duty of 10% alongwith countervailing duty of 4% on cotton imports. Thus Indian mills now import cotton without any restrictions from anywhere in the world.

The Imports during the cotton season 2012-13 are estimated at 20 lakh bales. The imports mainly comprise of Extra Long Staple Cotton. The imports mainly comprise of Extra Long Staple.

The details of exports and imports of cotton during last five years are given at table 5.2 and 5.3, respectively.

Initiatives taken by the Government of India

In order to ensure cotton security the Government has put in place the following policy interventions in cotton season 2012-13:l To get real-time data on Cotton,

through monthly returns from ginning and pressing factories, traders and Cotton textile mills by notifying Textiles Commissioner as the Statistical Officer under the Statistical Act, 2008.

l Draft Bill on Cotton Distribution (Collection of Statistics) has been formulated. Tracking of every bale would be possible once this Bill is in place.

l The time line for exports and duty structure would be determined by the Standing Committee of Secretaries on Commodity Exports;

l The exportable surplus was identified as 80 lakh bales.

Minimum Support Price (MSP)

The Cotton Corporation of India Ltd., undertakes MSP operations on behalf of the Government of India ensuring remunerative prices to the cotton growers of the country in the event of prevailing kapas prices falling below the MSP level.

CHALLENGESInternational Cotton Advisory Cotton Committee (ICAC)

The International Cotton Advisory Committee is an association of Governments having an interest in the production, export, import and consumption of cotton. It is an intergovernmental organization composed of countries that produce, consume and trade cotton and is designed to promote cooperation in the solution of cotton problems, particularly those of international scope and significance. The ICAC is working with WTO to facilitate international trade discussions. ICAC is a scientific and economic organization devoted to improvement of the world cotton sector and it is not a political body The functions of the International Cotton Advisory Committee, as defined in the Rules and Regulations, are: -

l To observe and keep in close touch with developments affecting the world cotton situation.

l To collect and disseminate complete, authentic, and timely statistics on world cotton production, trade, consumption, stocks and prices.

l To suggest, as and when advisable, to the governments represented, any measure the Advisory Committee considers suitable and practicable for the furtherance of international collaboration directed towards

developing and maintaining a sound world cotton economy.

l To be the forum of international discussions on matters related to cotton prices.

l The 71stmeeting of the ICAC, took place in Interlaken, Switzerland from October 07-13.2012.

Cotton Corporation of India (CCI)

The role assigned to the CCI under the Textile Policy of June 1985 was:

1. To undertake price support operations whenever the market prices of kapas touch the support prices announced by the government of India without any quantitative limit

2. To undertake commercial operations only at CCI ‘s own risk; and

3. To purchase cotton to fulfil export quotas given to CCI

The above role of the CCI continued under the New Textile Policy of 2000. However, the last stated function no longer is relevant as export of cotton is now free and the Government is releasing no quotas. Nevertheless CCI purchases cotton even now to undertake export of cotton.

In the Cotton Season 2012-13 large scale MSP operations have been undertaken by CCI in Andhra Pradesh by operating around 100 procurement centres.

ES JUTE SEEDS

Based on the average area under jute cultivation in the country, the annual requirement of jute seeds is around 50-55 thousand quintal. The average area under jute cultivation in West Bengal is little more than 6 lakh hectares for which the annual requirement of jute seeds is nearly 35-40 thousand quintal. The present level of certified jute seed production can cater to the needs of nearly 35 per cent of the jute area in the country. Public Sector Organizations like the National Seeds Corporation, the Maharashtra State Seeds Corporation, the State Farms Corporation of India are the major producers of jute seed. This apart, the Andhra Pradesh State Seeds Development Corporation and the West Bengal State Seeds Corporation are also involved in jute seed production. The total production of seed, mainly certified seed, by the Public Sector organizations is about 25-30 per cent of the total requirement. The rest of the seed is produced by the Private Sector organizations.

iii) Bank Credit option to prevent distress sale.

The total funds allotted for MM-III is Rs. 6,458.00 lakhs.

Mini Mission-IV:i) Modernization & Technological

upgradation

ii) Improvement of productivity Quality management

iii) Develop human resources for the jute industry

iv) Designing & developing of Jute Diversified Products (JDPs)

v) Help NGOs for JDP development, vi) Commercialization of Technology for JDP and vii) Jute parks for Jute Diversified Products (JDP). The total funds allotted for MM-IV are rs. 23, 402.00 lakhs.

The progress of the schemes is satisfactory at present. The physical progress of the schemes under Mini Mission – IV of JTM got slightly affected in the initial period as the start of the implementation processes was delayed due to some procedural / administrative reasons, viz, drafting of the scheme

parameters and “Operating Manuals”, interactions with the members of the industry and other jute interests, in eliciting their views/comments, acceptance of the scheme components, etc. and finally consideration and approval of the “Operating Manuals” by the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India. The implementation effectively commenced in 2008-09 onwards, but the progress was again hindered by the prolonged strike in the jute industry in 2009-10. Further, most of the Schemes under Mini Mission IV were back-ended – which indicates that the maximum utilization of fund and the achievements can be recorded and would be visible by the end of the Mission period.

The submissions of the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India before the Standing Committee on Labour [15th Lok Sabha] on the “Development of Jute Sector” corroborate NJB’s observations as above. The Standing Committee on Labour [15th Lok Sabha] on the “Development of Jute Sector”, in appreciating the initial constraints encountered in implementation of JTM and considering the significance of the Mission for the revival of Jute Sector, recommended that JTM be further extended to the 12th Five Year Plan and instead of setting cumulative targets for five years, yearly targets be fixed under each scheme for their effective implementation.The implementation period of JTM has been extended upto 31.3.2013.

STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF SCHEMES UNDER THE NON-PLAN FUNDING

ES seeds were distributed at a subsidy of Rs.40/- per KG under the scheme. During the year 2010-11, the target was fixed at 13,600 quintals against similar subsidy. Out of the target for distribution fixed, till date 6,600 quintals of certified seeds were distributed at a subsidy of Rs.40/- per KG under the scheme. The network of the Jute Corporation of India is being utilized for implementation of the scheme.

ii. Scheme for Jute Farmers’ Information and Testing Centres

Identification and setting up of 50 Farmers’ Information Centres, imparting training to 80 groups of 50 farmers each, organization of 2 Farmers’ School to encourage and educate the latest technological advancements in seed production and farming practices have been planned in 2010-11 under non-plan for promoting raw jute supply stability.

iii) Scheme for Support Supply Chain and Bulk Supply of JDPs

Financial assistance is extended to jute entrepreneurs to ensure supply chain and bulk supply of JDPs for selective and mass consumptions. This assistance is aimed at meeting increasing demand for jute shopping bags and other JDP’s arising mainly due to restrictions on the use of plastic, and thereby supporting the cause of health of environment. Till date, 53 applications for opening of retail outlets have been received from 31 jute entrepreneurs. NJB has accorded approval to opening of 10 retail outlets at Bangalore, Chennai, Agra, Bhubaneshwar and Kolkata.

iv. Fast Track Schemes for Export Market Development of JDPs.

Marketing assistance is extended to the exporters for participation in different promotional events of the National Jute board under Fast Track Export Market Development scheme. During 2010-11, NJB received 180 EMDA applications from 58 exporters, settled 99 applications and released Rs.140.64 lakhs to 44 exporters for their participation in 42 events. During 2011-12, NJB has received 100 applications from 64 exporters for participation in 36 events and disbursed (till 30th September, 2011) Rs.42.85 lakh to 28 exporters against 35 applications for participation in 10 events.

v. Schemes for Workers’ Welfare in Jute Sector.

National Jute Board [NJB] provides assistance for the welfare of workers in jute-producing units both in jute mills and in small units producing JDPs. NJB utilise non-Plan funds to :-

(a) improve the sanitation, health facilities and working conditions in the mill sector and;

(b) provide incentives to the small and medium JDP units for compliance with prescribed working conditions.

This Workers’ Welfare Scheme therefore has 2 broad sub-schemes, one for the mills and one for the small sector. In both cases, proposals from mills or JDP units are prepared by the management in consultation with the accredited unions.

(CDP)” was implemented during XI plan for development of sericulture and silk industry in the country through the Central Silk Board, in collaboration with various State sericulture departments and other implementing agencies like NGOs & SHGs etc.

During the XI Plan, the CDP was implemented in a project mode in the form of packages mainly under 3 sectors viz. 1) Seed, 2) cocoon and 3) post-cocoon sectors, supported by the service sector, to support in achieving the targets and the objectives of the XI Plan.

The central share of Rs.821.74 crore has been spent towards implementation of various components / schemes under CDP in different States during XI Plan as against the approved plan outlay under Revised Cost Estimate of Rs.821.74 crore.

Catalytic Development Programme implemented during the XI plan has resulted in significant growth in production of both Mulberry and Vanya silk in the country. At the end of Xth Plan the production of

Mulberry and vanya Silk stood at 16525 MTs and 1950 MTs respectively which increased to 18272 MTs and 4788 MTs at the end of XI plan registering a overall CAGR of 4.96% per annum.

4. QUALITY CERTIFICATION SYSTEMS

One of the main objectives of the Quality Certification System is to initiate suitable measures towards strengthening quality assurance, quality assessment and quality certification. Under the scheme, two components viz. “Cocoon Testing Units” and “Promotion of Silk Mark” are being implemented:

4.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF COCOON TESTING UNITS

Quality of cocoons influences the performance during reeling and quality of raw silk produced. Cocoon Testing Centres which have been established in different Cocoon Markets with the support under CDP facilitate cocoon testing. It was proposed to establish 25 Cocoon Testing

4.2 SILK MARK ORGANIZATION OF INDIA (SMOI)

The Ministry of Textiles came up with an initiative for the protection of the interests of the consumers and other stakeholders of the silk value-chain by bringing out “Silk Mark” Scheme in June 2004. Silk Mark, the Quality Assurance Label signifying purity of silk products, was launched through the Silk Mark Organisation of India (SMOI), a registered Society promoted by the Central Silk Board under MOT. Silk Mark labels can be affixed to primary, intermediate and finished products of silk including yarn, fabric, sarees, made-ups, garments, carpets, etc.

The Silk Mark Scheme is aimed at protecting the interests of the users and connoisseurs of silk, and for the generic promotion of pure silk and also for building brand-equity of Indian Silk.

Since the launch of Silk Mark in June 2004, over 2000 Authorized Users have been registered under the scheme and more than 1.50 crore Silk Mark labelled products have reached the market for the benefit of consumers. Apart from becoming familiar with the consumers, Silk Mark is gaining confidence of the Silk Industry as well. During 2011-12, 302 new Authorised users joined SMOI under Silk Mark Scheme and 26.00 lakhs of Silk Mark Labelled products have reached the market.

Fifteen Expos have been planned during the year 2012-13 and 8 such

Expos have already been conducted one each at Srinagar, Kochin, Kolkata, Pune,Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Jaipur and Indore.

SCHEMES & PROJECTS BEING IMPLEMENTED / PROPOSED TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY CSB AND STATES WITH EXTERNAL / INTERNAL ASSISTANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SERICULTURE:

EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE

PROJECT FOR ORGANIZING THIRD COUNTRY TRAINING PROGRAMME ON BIVOLTINE SERICULTURE TECHNOLOGY ASSISTED BY JICA

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Central Silk Board (CSB) have jointly worked for technical cooperation in the area of development and popularization of Bivoltine Sericulture Technology suited to Indian agro-climatic conditions for past fifteen years.

Encouraged by the success of the cooperation programme, Central Silk Board, in association with JICA, implemented a third country training programme on “Bivoltine Sericulture Technology” during 2008-09 for some of the Afro-Asian countries to disseminate the knowledge and skills on bivoltine sericulture technologies to these silk producing countries and organized training for 11 officers in ‘Administrative Course’ and 15 officers in ’Technical Course’ nominated from 8 different countries viz. Ghana, Cambodia, Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, Philipines, Laos and Nepal.

JICA extended the training programme for 3 more years from 2009-10. The third Country Training Programme on “Bivoltine Sericulture Technology” was

MANIPUR SERICULTURE PROJECT (PHASE-II)

Government of Manipur has implemented a Manipur Sericulture Project (Phase-I) with a total project cost of Rs.154.99 crore over a period of 10 years from 1998 to 2008 with financial assistance from Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA), Govt. of Japan. Under this project, Govt. of Manipur has developed 1,700 hectares of mulberry Plantation, organisation of 1000 FOUs (Field Operating Units), and created infrastructure for 60 Community CRCs, 4,573 Individual Adult rearing Houses(IARH), two industrial mulberry grainages, 1 each of P3 and P2 Silkworm seed production centers, 15 Technical Service Centres, 1 Sericulture Training School, 6 District Cocoon Storage & Drying facilities, infrastructure for multi-end silk reeling and silk conditioning and testing unit, 1 silk twisting unit and 1 post Cocoon Technical Training - cum - Production Centre. As a result of implementation of this project as Phase-I, the brushing capacity of a farmer has increased from 10-25 dfls/crop to 80-100 dfls / crop with an average productivity of around 30-35 kg cocoons per 100 dfls from the level of 20-22 kg cocoons per 100 dfls.

Though sufficient infrastructure to address different aspect of sericulture

industry in Manipur, has been put in place through MSP (Phase-I), the utilization has not reached the optimum level due to various factors like lack of equipment support for the infrastructure created, gaps in plantations, transfer of improved technology to the silkworm rearers, and utility of adult rearing houses due to some lacunae in its designs. In order to capitalize up on the investment already made in the State for the development of silk industry and optimization of silk output Phase-II of the Manipur Sericulture Project has been planned with a total cost of Rs 356.5 crores and submitted to JICA for funding. However, due to reluctance of JICA to take up the second phase of the project due to various reasons alternative financing arrangements are being tried out from the NER funds of the Ministry of Textiles and DONER.

INTERNAL ASSISTANCE

SPECIAL SGSY PROJECTS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF TASAR AND ERI CULTURE IN BIHAR AND JHARKHAND

One special SGSY Projects for development of Tasar and Eri culture is being implemented by Central Silk Board in the States of Bihar with financial assistance from Ministry of Rural Development, Govt. of India from the year 2003-04. Central Silk Board is the Executing Agency, which closely monitors the implementation and extends the necessary technological support through units of CTR&TI, Ranchi on pre-cocoon aspects, BTSSO, Bilaspur for seed requirement and CSTRI, Bangalore on post cocoon activities.

The financial outlay and sharing pattern of the Project cost are given at table 7.4.

ES There has been a significant drop in export of silk goods in 2011-12 due to external market conditions in major export markets for silk goods exported from India.

SCHEDULED CASTES SUB-PLAN (SCSP) AND SCHEDULED TRIBAL SUB-PLAN (TSP)

Planning Commission, Govt. of India has formulated revised guidelines for Schedule Caste Sub-Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) to ensure canalizing proportionate flow of Plan Outlay from general sectors (other than the allocation for NE States) for implementation of schemes which directly benefit the individuals of families belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes commencing from 2011-12. The objectives of the programme include substantial reduction of poverty & unemployment, creating productive assets, human resource development and arrest exploitation through physical and financial security among the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Keeping in view these objectives a non-divertible provision of Rs. 21.18 crores (excluding NE States) for sericulture sector has been earmarked from out of Rs.142.40 crores approved for CDP, to implement Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan (RS. 17.22 crores) and Tribal Sub-Plan (Rs. 3.96 crores) during 2012-13. An expenditure of Rs. 10.33 crores and 2.52 crores

has been incurred up to Oct., 2012 towards implementation of SCSP and TSP respectively in states for sericulture development.

SERICULURE DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH EAST STATES

Sericulture in North East existed as a practice amongst people since long, mostly as a subsidiary occupation. North East has the unique distinction of being the only region producing four varieties of silk viz., Mulberry, Oak Tasar, Muga and Eri. The North Eastern States contributes almost 100% Muga silk production of the country. 99% Eri silk production is from NE region. While Oak Tasar silk production is 100%, mulberry silk production is only 1% as the strength of the NE Region is in Vanya silks, as a traditional produce. Overall NE Region contributes 14% of India’s total silk production (by end of XI Plan). Even though NE share of country’s raw silk production is only 14% as at the end of 2011-12, Assam is the 3rd largest producer of silk in the country, after Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

The table 7.7 indicates the details of major schemes, provision approved for XI Plan, actual expenditure during XI Plan, approved outlay and anticipated expenditure for 2012-13, and also the share of investment going to North Eastern States.

2. Quality Processing of Wool and Woollen Scheme

The unorganized Woollen Sector suffers from inadequate processing facilities. The pre loom & post loom facilities are outdated. The sector uses crude form of carding, which results in low productivity, besides affecting the health of workers. The spinning technology is primitive, which is urgently required to be upgraded through improved equipments/ machineries. The Scheme provides a comprehensive service package from deburring to carding & spinning stage. The setting up of modern plants will increase wool-processing capacity, will provide value addition to Indian wool, will create more employment and will augments income to personnel engaged in these decentralized activities.

DECENTRALISED POWERLOOM SECTOR

The decentralised powerloom sector is one of the most important segments of the Textile Industry in terms of fabric

production and employment generation. It provides employment to 57.44 Lakh persons and contributes 62 percent to total cloth production in the Country. 60% of the fabrics produced in the powerloom sector is of man-made. More than 60% of fabric meant for export is also sourced from powerloom sector. The readymade garments and home textile sectors are heavily dependent on the powerloom sector to meet their fabric requirement.

There are approximately 5.24 Lakh Powerloom Units with 23.24 Lakh Powerlooms as on 30.09.2012. The technology level of this sector varies from obsolete plain loom to high tech shuttle-less looms. There are approximately 1,05,000 shuttleless looms in this sector. It is estimated that more than 75% of the

shuttle looms are obsolete and outdated with a vintage of more than 15 years and have virtually no process or quality control devices / attachments. However, there has been significant upgradation in the technology level of the powerloom sector during the last 5-6 years.

ES announced the Integrated Scheme for Powerloom Sector Development during 2007 – 08. The scheme has got the following components :-

a) Marketing Development programme for Powerloom Sector

b) Exposure visit of Powerloom Weavers to other Clusters

c) Survey of the Powerloom Sector

d) Powerloom Cluster Development

e) Development and Upgradation of skills (HRD)

(a) Marketing Development programme for Powerloom Sector

Marketing Development programme has a vital role in powerloom sector. Therefore, an activity for promotion and marketing of powerloom products through different mechanism such as organization of exhibitions and buyer seller meets, Seminar / Workshops, publicity & awareness programmes etc are being implemented in association with Powerloom Development & Export Promotion Council (PDEXCIL) and other agencies. During 11th Plan (2007-08 to Sept.2012), total 60 BSM have been conducted and Govt. has released the fund of Rs.3.99 Crore.

(b) Exposure visit by powerloom weavers to other clusters :

The powerloom weavers from the clusters of low level technology are not exposed to other area of manufacturing to produce diversifying textile products or value added fabrics due to limited knowledge etc.

With a view to overcome such deficiency, the powerloom weavers in different clusters, are being taken to other developed clusters to become

familiar with the working upgraded skills, the products manufactured and the marketing techniques adopted in those clusters. The concerned Regional Offices assist the powerloom weavers during the exposure visits and facilitate effective and meaningful interaction. The financial assistance is also being provided by the Government of India to meet the expenditure arising out of these visits. During 11th Plan(2007-08 to Sept.2012), total 2770 workers visited the developed powerloom cluster and Govt. has paid the fund of Rs.0.63 Crore for travelling and incidental expenditure to workers.

(c) Powerloom Cluster Development

Towards the developments of different powerloom clusters identified, 30 CDOs were given training in cluster development by the EDI, Ahmedabad during 2007 – 08 involving the total expenditure of Rs.15.97 lakh and during the year 2008 - 09, Rs.4.80 lakh has been spent for refresher training of Officers from Regional Offices & Headquarters. The following 8 clusters have been selected for development and CDO have been posted in the respective cluster and diagnostic study have been completed by the CDO.

(1) Burhanpur, (2) Nalagonda, (3) Ranaghat (4) Umbergaon (5) Amritsar (6) Karur (7) Bhilwara (8) Maunathbhanjan

CHALLENGES

Handloom weaving is one of the largest economic activity after agriculture providing direct and

indirect employment to more than 43 lakh weavers and allied workers. This sector contributes nearby 15% of the cloth production in the country and also contributes to the export earning of the country. 95% of the world’s hand woven fabric comes from India.

The handloom sector has a unique place in our economy. It has been sustained by transferring skills from one generation to another. The strength of the sector lies in its uniqueness, flexibility of production, openness to innovations, adaptability to the supplier’s requirement and the wealth of its tradition.

The adoption of modern techniques and economic liberalization, however, have

made serious inroads into the handloom sector. Competition from powerloom and mill sector, availability of cheaper imported fabrics, changing consumer preferences and alternative employment opportunities have threatened the vibrancy of handloom sector.

The Government of India, since independence, has been following a policy of promoting and encouraging the handloom sector through a number of programmes and schemes. Due to various policy initiatives and scheme interventions like cluster approach, aggressive marketing initiative and social welfare measures, the handloom sector has shown positive growth and the income level of weavers has improved. The handloom fabric production has been very impressive and growth has been at the rate of 6% to 7% in the beginning of the 11th

ES Plan. The subsequent economic downturn has affected all the sectors in India and handloom sector was no exception. The production had declined nominally in 2008-09. Now, there is a positive sign and production has shown upward growth. The export of handloom products has also shown a positive trend.

In the cluster approach, efforts were made to cover groups of 100 to 25000 weavers through different cluster sizes for their integrated and holistic development. The yarn supply under Mill Gate Price Scheme has increased three fold. Aggressive marketing initiative through marketing events (600-700 events per year) has helped weavers and their cooperative societies to understand the market trend and consumer choice, besides selling products directly to the customers. For a focused attention on the sector, the Ministry has started celebrating ‘Handloom week’ every year.

The handloom forms a precious part of the generational legacy and exemplifies the richness and diversity of our country and the artistry of the weavers. Tradition of weaving by hand is a part of the country’s cultural ethos. As an economic activity, handloom is the one of the largest employment providers after agriculture. The sector provides employment to 43.31 lakh persons engaged on about 23.77 lakh handlooms – of which, 10% are from scheduled castes, 18% belong to scheduled tribes, 45% belong to other backward classes and 27% are from other castes. Production in the handloom sector recorded a figure of 6900(P) million sqr.meters in the year 2011-12, which is about 25% over the production figure of 5493 million sqr. meters recorded in the year 2003-04. During 2012-13 production in the handloom sector is reported to be 5178 million sqr. meters (April – Dec.,2012) and details are given under Table10.1

CHALLENGESPlan as a centrally sponsored plan scheme for the development of handlooms and welfare of handlooms weavers. The scheme aims to focus on formation of weavers group as a visible entity, develop the handlooms weavers groups to become self-sustainable, inclusive approach to cover weavers both within and outside the cooperative fold, skill up-gradation of handlooms weavers/workers to produce diversified products with improved quality to meet the market requirements, provide suitable workplace to weavers to enable them to produce quality products with improved productivity etc. Under the scheme, each cluster having about 300 - 500 looms have been taken up for development in a time frame of 3 years at an upper cost of Rs.60.00 lakh per cluster. Handloom weavers, who are not covered by the clusters, are supported through a ‘Group Approach”, which will be implemented in a project mode. A Group, consisting of 10 weavers or more, is provided financial assistance for (i) basic inputs; (ii) training in weaving, dyeing, designing and managerial disciplines; and (iii) construction of work-sheds.

During the year 2011-12, there was a budgetary provision of Rs.164.70 crore, which was revised to Rs.236.50 crore, a sum of Rs.219.49 crore was released to various State Governments/UTs and other organizations. 69 new clusters were sanctioned during 2011-12. A sum of Rs.91.36 crore was released, which includes the 2nd & 3rd installment of earlier sanctioned projects. In addition, 460 Group Approach Projects were also sanctioned and a sum of Rs.20.02 crore was released, which includes the earlier sanctioned projects. Under Marketing Incentive Component of IHDS, a sum of Rs.51.05 crore was released to various State Governments/UTs .

During the year 2012-13, there is a budgetary provision of Rs.195.00 crore

(Rs.170.00 crore for general category States and Rs.25.00 crore for NER States). Out of Rs.195.00 crore, a sum of Rs.52.23 crore has been sanctioned to various State Governments/UTs and other organization (upto November, 2012). During 2012-13, focus is on settlement of committed liabilities of the Clusters/Group Approach Projects and Marketing Incentive. A sum of Rs.25.42 crore was released to various State Governments/UTs under Marketing Incentive component of IHDS.

Institutional Credit for Handloom Sector

Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) on 18th December, 2012, approved a new component “Institutional Credit for Handloom Sector” by modifying the existing plan scheme of Integrated Handlooms development Scheme, which has following sub-components:

i) Margin money assistance @Rs.4200/- per weaver to individual weavers, their self help groups and joint liability groups (but not to cooperative societies and producer companies) by the GoI so as to raise borrowings from the Banks/Financial Institutions.

ii) Interest subsidy of 3% per annum for 3 years so that weavers can get loan at subsidized rate. No interest subsidy would be provided from the date on which a loan becomes a non-performing asset (NPA) within this period of 3 years, as a disincentive for non-payment.

iii) Credit guarantee: The loans extended by the Banks/financial institutions to the handloom weavers, their SHGs/JLGs and weavers cooperative societies will be guaranteed by the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Medium & Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) to the tune of 85% of the outstanding. For this

iv) IEC activity to make the beneficiaries aware of the scheme. The local Lead Banks will also be made aware of the broad parameters of the scheme to enable them to guide and advise the local weavers.

In order to make the handloom weavers aware about the scheme, 674 awareness camps were organised (from January to June 2012) throughout the country involving the State Governments, Lead Banks, Weavers’ Service Centres etc.During the Camps around 3.30 lakh applications for weavers credit card were received and around 2.73 lakh applications have been handed over to various Banks through respective Lead Banks. Till 15th December, 2012, 16,854 Weavers’ Credit Cards (WCC) have been issued, Rs.6138 lakh loan has been sanctioned and Rs.2913 Lakh has been disbursed.

2. HANDLOOM WEAVERS COMPREHENSIVE WELFARE SCHEME

Since 2005-06 and 2006-07 the Government of India was implementing

two separate schemes namely the ‘Health Insurance Scheme’ for providing health care facilities to the handloom weavers in the country and the ‘Mahatma Gandhi Bunkar Bima Yojana’ for providing Life Insurance Cover to handloom weavers in case of natural / accidental death, total / partial disability due to accident. During the 11th Plan, both schemes have been amalgamated into one scheme namely Handloom Weavers’ Comprehensive Welfare Scheme. The details of the schemes are as under:

2.1 Health Insurance Scheme (HIS)

ES Further, to provide the subsidized yarn only to handloom weavers in order to compete with powerloom and mill sector, a new component of 10% price subsidy on hank yarn has been incorporated in the MGPS w.e.f. 6.1.2012. This is in addition to the transport/freight subsidy being already offered under our MGPS. The agencies which are eligible to receive subsidized yarn under the MGPS are as under :

a) All Handloom Organisations including weavers cooperative societies at National / State/ Regional/ Primary handloom level;

b) Handloom exporters registered with HEPC

c) Self Help Groups/Joint Liability Groups/Individual weavers/weavers entrepreneur.

Cotton and Domestic Silk Yarn required for production of handloom items are covered under the 10% Price Subsidy scheme. For the purposes of yarn subsidy, the quantity of hank yarn supplied to a weaver or to an eligible agency is restricted in terms of number of handlooms as below :

Cotton (below 40s counts ) 30 kgs./loom/monthCotton (40s counts and above) 10 kgs./loom/monthSilk Yarn 4 kgs./loom/month.

In case of double/ply yarn, the resultant count will be considered for deciding the eligible quantity. NHDC, which is the implementing agency of MGPS, will be eligible for an additional 0.5% of the value of yarn as service charge for yarn supplied under the 10% price subsidy on hank yarn component over and above that specified in the MGPS. For yarn supplies made by the other Implementing Agencies, they will be eligible for service

charges as prescribed is given in Table 10.10.

Implementing Agencies other than NHDC will not be eligible for freight reimbursement and depot operating expenses of MGPS under 10% Hank Yarn Price Subsidy component.

To provide subsidized yarn as per prescribed quantity based on type for fibre and number of looms owned by the weavers/societies, it was decided to issue yarn passbooks by the NHDC. In case of individual weavers and weaver entrepreneur, the State Governments have to verify and collect the information and handover the details to NHDC for preparing passbooks. After making passbook, NHDC would hand over the passbooks to State Governments for distribution to the beneficiaries.

CHALLENGESand potentially viable primary weavers cooperative societies and the state level apex societies as well as in respect of individual handloom weavers, master weavers, Self Help Groups (SHGs) and Joint Liability Groups (JLGs) who have taken such loans for handloom weaving purposes. The balance 75% of overdue interest and the entire penal interest, if any, will have to be written off by the Banks as a pre-condition. After the over dues are cleared, the Banks are expected to extend fresh loans to individual handloom weavers and their cooperative societies, so that they can become viable again. An interest subsidy of 3% for 3 years is extended from the date of disbursal of the fresh loan extended by banks to the eligible handloom cooperative societies and individual handloom weavers. This will ensure availability of cheap credit to the handloom sector. The fresh loan extended by the Banks will be guaranteed for a period of 3 years, for which the guarantee fee and other charges will be borne by the Government.

NABARD is the Implementing Agency of the package. The package is being implemented with due cooperation of the State Governments, who have signed MoU for carrying out structural reforms of the handloom cooperatives and to provide 20% of the funds for waiver of overdues. So far, 24 States have signed MoU and their consent to bear States’ share. Of this, 21 States have released their State share to NABARD. The scheme is currently benefitting about 5250 eligible cooperative societies and around 50,000 handloom weavers. Further relaxation of the norms of the scheme is under consideration of the Government to widen the beneficiary coverage of the scheme.

(7) SPECIAL PROJECT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF TRIPURA HANDLOOMS.

There are more than one lakh handlooms in Tripura, of which about 25% are commercial and rest are non-commercial or domestic belonging to ethnic tribes/Bengali/Manipuri weavers.

Presently, due to irregular supply of raw material, lack of innovative designs and products, outdated technology in production process and poor marketing linkages, the handloom sector in the State is passing through hard times and many skilled weavers mainly located in and around cities and towns have switched over to other professions. The proposed Special Project For Development of Tripura Handlooms is likely to benefit 960 handloom weavers and ancillary workers because it proposes an overall development of the dispersed units spread across the remote interiors of the hilly terrain.

IMPLEMENTATION OF HANDLOOMS (RESERVATION OF ARTICLES FOR PRODUCTION) ACT, 1985.

The Handlooms (Reservation of Articles for Production) Act, 1985 aims at protecting handloom weavers and rich cultural heritage of India from the encroachment on their livelihood by powerlooms and mill sector. As per the latest amendment vide No. S.O. 2160 dated 3.9.2008, eleven categories of textiles articles are reserved under the Act. The physical progress of Handloom Reservation Act, 1985 as on 31.01.2013 is given in Table 10.11. The central assistance released to the set up enforcement machinery in States is given at Table 10.12. An Advisory Committee is constituted of 30 members for every 4 years to advise on issues relating to enforcement of the Act.

1. Two percent Interest Subvention Scheme was available only to handlooms, handicrafts, carpets and SMEs till 31st March 2012. Now this would be continued till 31st March, 2013.

2. At present, under Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme, the condition of maintenance of average level of exports is not applicable to some sectors , viz. handicrafts, handlooms, cottage sector, tiny sector, agriculture, acquaculture (including fisheries) etc. Now, three new sectors are being added to this list, viz. carpet, coir and jute.

3. At present duty free import of embellishments is allowed against exports of Handloom made-ups, cotton made-ups and polyester made-ups. The facility will now be extended to the export of synthetic made-ups.

4. The duty scrips obtained from various schemes shall be permitted to be utilized for payment of excise duty for domestic procurement so as to encourage manufacturing, value addition and employment.

5. Export of handicraft items and export of hand-made woollen carpets including other floor coverings like woolen durries, druggets, Gabbas, Namdhas and Shaggy shall not allowed on the basis of “delivery against acceptance (DA) terms, unless they are covered by bank guarantee or ECGC guarantee. This would significantly protect the business and financial interests of small exporters.

CHALLENGES

The Handicrafts Sector plays a significant & important role in the country’s economy. It provides employment to a vast segment of craft persons in rural & semi urban areas and generates substantial foreign exchange for the country, while preserving its cultural heritage. Handicrafts have great potential, as they hold the key for sustaining not only the existing set of millions of artisans spread over length and breadth of the country, but also for the increasingly large number of new entrants in the crafts activity. Presently, handicrafts contribute substantially to employment generation and exports. The Handicraft sector has, however, suffered due to its being unorganized, with the additional constraints of lack of education, low capital, poor exposure to new technologies, absence of market intelligence, and a poor institutional framework.

The sector is estimated to employ Rs 68.86 lakh artisans at present and the export of handicrafts including handmade carpet upto November 2012 has been 12157.21 crores which shows an increase of 34.19% over the same period in financial year 2011-12, and the plan allocation during 2012-13 is Rs. 177.00 crores.

SCHEMES ON HANDICRAFTS DEVELOPMENT

During the 2012-13 the Government of India implemented six generic central sector schemes for holistic growth and development of handicrafts sector in the country. Brief highlights of the schemes are as under :

1. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hastshilp Vikas Yojana

This scheme aims to promote Indian handicrafts by developing artisans’

NATIONAL TEXTILE CORPORATION LTD. (NTC)

National Textile Corporation Ltd. (NTC), a Central Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Textiles, was established in the year 1968. The Company was established primarily to manage the affairs of the sick textile undertakings taken over by the Govt. of India in three Nationalization Acts in the years 1974; 1986; and 1995. On account of obsolete technology; excess manpower; poor productivity, etc. 8 of its 9 subsidiaries were referred to BIFR in the year 1992-93. The BIFR approved Revival Schemes for all the 9 subsidiaries – 8 of them in the year 2002-03 and 9th in the year 2005. The Company has been implementing the Revival Scheme since then. The original Sanctioned Scheme (SS) of 2002-03 was modified twice – first in the year 2006 (MS-06) and for the second time in the year 2008 (MS-08).

Under the Scheme, the mill which have been found as viable, after a Techno-Economic Viability Study, were proposed for revival and those mills found unviable were to be closed. NTC has so far closed 78 mills. As on 1st November, 2012, 63,057 employees have gone under MVRS from April, 2002 onwards and it has paid Rs. 2360.42 crores by way of compensation to these employees. NTC has reduced the manpower from 90,000 to about 8254 employees. It has also closed 193 unviable showrooms of the Retail Marketing Division.

The Company has modernized 21 units fully and 2 units partially. The 24th unit

is slated as a Technical Textiles Unit. ISO 9001-2008 certifications have been awarded to 20 textile mills of NTC.

NTC will be focusing effectively on branding and retailing of its fabrics through Retail Marketing Division and increase its volume of institutional sales in the coming days. Technical Textiles is an area where there is a tremendous scope for the company to improve its turnover and profitability.

The entire funds required for payment of MVRS compensation was mobilized by private placement of bonds from the market to the extent of Rs. 2028 crores. The Company has already paid on time Rs. 2028 crores on redemption of bonds and Rs. 785.60 crores as interest on these bonds, in addition to paying Rs. 294.11 crores as one-time settlement to banks and financial institutions etc. The entire funds required for the implementation of the Revival Scheme is generated through sale of assets of the closed mills and surplus assets of the viable mills. NTC has so far generated Rs. 6522.29 crores by sale of assets by an Asset Sale Committee, constituted by BIFR/MOT upto October, 2012.

While the Company has been receiving budgetary support from its inception, there is no budgetary support for its wages from the year 2009-10 onwards.

The Company has a very effective Board of Directors with 10 members – 5 of whom are whole time Directors; 1 Special Director from BIFR; 2, Independent Directors besides 2 nominee Directors from the Ministry of Textiles.

The cost of the scheme, which was approved by BIFR, was Rs.210.51 crore which was to be financed primarily through the sale of surplus land & assets.

The BIFR reviewed the matter and issued direction that the company should prepare Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (MDRS). Accordingly, MDRS was approved by BIFR in its hearing dated 14.02.2008. The Modified Scheme was sent for obtaining Cabinet approval wherein Cabinet directed that it be examined by BRPSE. The revised updated scheme was sent to BRPSE for their consideration. The BRPSE in its meeting held on 28.07.2010 approved the Scheme costing to Rs.313.90 crore with the observation that figures may be updated upto 31.03.2011.

COTTON CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD., (CCI), MUMBAI

The Cotton Corporation of India Ltd., (CCI) was set up in 1970 with the objective of acting as the canalizing agency for import of cotton and undertaking purchase of raw cotton for giving necessary price support to enterprising cultivators growing new varieties of cotton developed as substitute for imported long and extra-long staple cottons as also for procuring raw cotton for textile mills, both in public and private sectors.

The role assigned to the CCI under the Textile Policy of June 1985 was:1. To undertake price support operations

whenever the market prices of kapas touch the support prices announced by the government of India without any quantitative limit

2. To undertake commercial operations only at CCI‘s own risk; and

3. To purchase cotton to fulfil export quotas given to CCI

The above role of the CCI continued under the New Textile Policy of 2000. However, the last stated function is no longer relevant as export of cotton is now free and the Government is releasing no quotas. Nevertheless CCI purchases cotton even now to undertake export of cotton.

In the cotton season 2012-13 large Scale MSP operations are being conducted by Cotton Corporation of India in Andhra Pradesh. Till the first week of February, about 21.47 lakh bales have been procured by the Cotton Corporation of India.

handloom sector

The handloom sector employs 43.31 lakh persons in weaving and allied activities with 23.77 lakh handlooms. This sector is weaver-specific and occupational in nature, with the majority of weavers belonging to the poorest and marginalized sections of the society. Of the total adult workforce, 10% of the workers are from scheduled castes (SC), 18% are from scheduled tribes (ST), 45% are from other backward castes (OBC) and 27% are from other castes as per the report of Handloom Census of India (2009-10).

The various handloom schemes operated by this office are meant for development and welfare of weavers. For assisting the handloom weavers, including SC/ST and women, the Government of India is implementing various developmental schemes through State Governments with the objectives of (i) employment generation, (ii) modernization and upgradation of technology, (iii) input support, (iv) marketing support, (v) publicity & brand building, (vi) infrastructural support, (vii) welfare measures, (viii) development of exportable products (ix) research & development.

handIcraFt sector

Office of the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) implements six generic schemes viz. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hastshilp Vikas Yojana; Design and Technology Up-gradation Scheme; Marketing Support and Services Schemes; Export Promotion Schemes; Research & Development Schemes & Human

Resource Development. All these schemes play a vital role in the empowerment and upliftment of women artisans and artisans belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

Of total workforce engaged in handicrafts, estimated 56.1% are women, and 28.30% belong to SC/ST category (Source: Census Survey, 2012-13). There are certain crafts, which are practiced predominantly by women like embroidery, mat weaving, etc. Special attention is being paid to ensure that a large number of women artisans get benefit of all the developmental schemes, such as training, marketing related programmes, National Awards and exhibitions, etc.

CHALLENGES

As per extant Government orders, all the Ministries, except those specifically excluded, are required to earmark 10 percent of their total plan outlays for schemes in the North East Region. Accordingly, the Ministry of Textiles has been earmarking 10 percent of its total plan outlays for schemes in the North

East. During 2011 – 12, the Ministry of Textiles has taken up various schemes for development of textile industry in the North Eastern Region.

The details of Budget Allocation to NER and actual expenditure during 2011 – 12 are given at table 16.1.

NER Textile Promotion Scheme

Since the North Eastern Region faces unique constraints such as sparse population, vast distances, inadequate infrastructure, insufficient supply of raw material, lack of market access, lack of adequate built up space for work-sheds/factories, lack of designers, consultants, trained staff etc., the normal schemes of the Ministry have many limitations for successful implementation in the region. It is proposed to change the implementation strategy for the NER, aimed at permitting them greater flexibility in deciding the contours and

norms for their textiles projects suited to their special requirements in order to achieve the objectives of the textile sector schemes. This umbrella scheme is drawn up in order to provide a framework with in built flexibility, to be called the NER Textile Promotion Scheme with a total cost ceiling of Rs. 1038.10 crore during the 12th Five Year Plan.

The broad objective of the North East Textile Promotion Scheme is to develop and modernise the textile sector in the North East Region by providing the required Government support in terms of raw material, seed banks,

ES machinery, common facility centres, skill development, design support etc. The specific objectives of the scheme include increase in the value of textile production, technology upgradation, improvement in design capability, diversification of product lines and value addition, better access to domestic and export markets, clusterisation and improvement in labour productivity.

The Scheme will cover all textile sub-sectors, the traditional VSE sectors of Handlooms, Handicrafts, Sericulture and Jute as well as the Powerloom sector and the Garmenting & Made Up sector.

The Scheme will be implemented throughout the North East Region covering the States of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura.

The State Governments will be required to submit project proposals to be implemented by the State Governments or jointly with other organizations such as co-operatives, reputed NGOs registered under Societies Act, Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) registered under section 25 of the Companies Act. For Central Sector Schemes, the projects may be submitted directly.

The expenditure under the scheme will ordinarily be shared between Ministry of Textiles and the implementing agency in the ratio 90:10. However, the sharing pattern of expenditure may be modified to 100% expenditure by the Ministry where Central Sector pattern of implementation is followed e.g. Centres of Excellence and Geotextiles.

The Scheme is being submitted to the Expenditure Finance Committee, Ministry of Finance, for its consideration.

HANDLOOMS

North Eastern Region has the highest concentration of Handlooms in the country. In the North East, 90% of the handloom weavers households are weaver households. The allied worker households are mostly found in the States outside the region, and form 29% of the total handloom worker households in these States. The North Eastern States have predominantly female (99%) adult work force.

The Weavers’ Service Centres set up at Guwahati, Agartala and Imphal function as the Nodal Centres for development of designs and dissemination of information to the weavers in the region about the breakthrough made in the handloom technology. The Indian Institute of Handloom Technology (IIHT) set up at Guwahati, caters to the requirements of the handloom sector for technically qualified manpower.

A special dispensation has been made for the North Eastern States under the Integrated Handlooms Development Scheme (IHDS). In respect of these States, the grant portion towards Basic Inputs of the scheme is shared between Centre, State Governments and the implementing agencies in the ratio of 90:5:5 respectively whereas for General States, it is in the ratio of 70:20:10 respectively.

During 2011-12, 65 Clusters were sanctioned in the NER and a sum of Rs.32.85 crore was released, which also includes third installment of earlier sanctioned projects. In addition, 455 Group Approach Projects were sanctioned and a sum of Rs.14.50 crore was released, which also includes second installments of earlier sanctioned projects. Physical and Financial progress in NER during 2009-10 to 2011-12 is given at Table 16.2 to 16.6

HANDICRAFTS

The Handicrafts Sector in NER plays a significant and important role in the country’s economy. It provides employment to a vast segment of craft persons in rural and semi urban areas and generates substantial foreign exchange for the country, while preserving its cultural heritage. Handicrafts have great potential, as they hold the key for sustaining not only the existing set up of millions of artisans spread over length and breadth of the country, but also for the increasingly large number of new entrants in the crafts activity. Presently,

handicrafts contribute substantially to employment generation and exports. The Handicraft sector in NER has, however, suffered due to its being unorganized, with the additional constraints of lack of education, low capital, poor exposure to new technologies, absence of market intelligence, and a poor institutional framework.

Some of the important crafts of this region are Cane and Bamboo, Mat weaving, Basketry, Wood work, Carpet weaving, Brass craft, Hand-block printing, Jewellery, Stone work, Jute handicrafts, Conch shell, Date leaf, etc.

ES to identify the needs of the cluster. Apart from this, the study also gave insight into.

• Size of the cluster and skill level of the artisans/producers

• Production process• Raw material procurement, quality

and alternates

More than 3500 artisans have been identified, during the diagnostic study by the students of 15 NIFT centres, across 30 craft clusters.

Further to this, students of Masters in Design recently visited the cluster to study management of craft waste, water, energy and other resources in the complete supply chain. The faculty and students of Fashion Management will be visiting cluster within this month to comprehend the backward and forward supply and value chain linkages in craft clusters.

The analyses of diagnostic study will bring up the issues related to technological, design and marketing challenges, which will vary for each cluster. The second and subsequent Phases will be clearly defined based on the prioritized needs of the cluster. The second phase of the project is scheduled from May 2013, which also includes explorations with the traditional craft skills and techniques using alternate raw material and product development with artisans.

The initiative will have phase wise activities to ensure follow up and consistent growth in terms of identification of gaps, skill up-gradation and technological development at the cluster level. Meaningfully planned interventions are planned to generate fresh opportunities for enhancement of capabilities, knowledge and application for the clusters, which can affect the lives of countless people, especially in the craft sector.

CONVERGE

At NIFT, apart from a holistic approach towards studies related to design, technology and management areas, extra-curricular activities in form of different clubs are encouraged. A culmination of these activities enfolds itself every year through Converge, an All India Sports and Cultural meet where about 750 students participate in different competitions under one umbrella. In 2012, Converge was hosted by NIFT Kolkata between 27th to 29th December. The mega annual event was inaugurated by Gr. Capt. Subodh Bhatnagar, Regional Director SAI, NIFT, Directors and SDACs of different NIFT centres and other dignitaries were also present at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) grounds.

OBSERVATIONS OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AU-DITOR GENERAL OF INDIA

MINISTRY OF TEXTILESReport No. 8 of 2012-13British India Corporation Limited

16.1 SALE AND LAND

The Company/ ASC failed to have proper due diligence on the valuation of the propertied as well as identify the bottlenecks in sale of land. The reserve price was fixed on lower side on account of circle rate and value of structures and the advertisement for sale was initiated in January 2003 without obtaining necessary approvals from the State of Uttar Pradesh.

There was unnecessary hurry in concluding the sales of land by getting the ‘agreement to Sale ‘registered with the buyers ignoring the legal advice and the warning of the State Government,

SUMMARY OF REPORTS OF THE C&AG OF INDIAUNION GOVERNMENT – COMMERCIAL

2011-12 and 2012-13 SERIES

which led to loss of Rs 109.03 crore to the Company on account of increase in value of the properties at the circle rates of 2011.

The Company suffered huge losses and GOI had to Provide grant/ loan of Rs 147 crore to the Company beyond the terms of the rehabilitation scheme, mainly for want of funds for modernization of plant and the working capital. Considering the problems in generation of funds from sale of properties, the GOI could have provided separate fund for modernization of plant to avoid/ reduce the grant/ loan.

In brief, due to flawed sale process, lack of internal controls and weak governance, the revival scheme has not succeeded (March 2012) and, as a consequence, there was unwarranted pressure on exchequer.
