CENTRAL SILK BOARD

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.

Central silk board is comes under Ministry of Textile, Indian government.

The minister of textile will be the appellate authority of the Central silk board.

Mr. Anand Sharma the present mister of textile is the head of the Central silk

board. The board committee consists of 39 members elected by the parliament

of India. The chair person and vice chair person are elected by Central

government. Further the board consists of representative of LokSabha

andRajyaSabha, nominees of the central and the state governments and

representative from among farmers, reelers, trade and industry.

2. INDUSTRY PROFILE

2.1 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. Anyone 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 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.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

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.

The World Raw Silk production (Mulberry and Vanya) is about

126995MT (2009). China and India are the leading producers of silk.

China leads the world with silk production of 104000 MT or 81.89% of

the produce. It is this position, as one of only two major silk producers

in the world, and from its employment potential, that sericulture and

silk derive their importance in the Indian textile map.

2.2 SILK INDUSTRY IN INDIA

India, agriculture and agro-based industries play a vital role in the improvement

of rural economy. The limited availability of land, the limited cash returns, and

agriculture being confined to one or two seasons in the year, have made villages

to look for supporting rural industries, such as sericulture. Agriculture and

sericulture are adopted simultaneously by the agriculturists in regions where the

ecological conditions are favorable. In India, over three million people are

employed in various fields of sericulture. It is a cottage industry and provides

ample work for the womenfolk in the rural areas in rearing silk worms, while

the male members work in the fields. Recently the enforcing of new ideas by

research institutions both in mulberry cultivation and silk-worm-handling

among sericulturists, the industry is now practiced as a main profession and as a

major cash crop, of the country.

A notable feature of Indian sericulture is that 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 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.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

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.

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


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

of raw silk around 18000-20000 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.

India’s raw silk production is 19690 MT (2009-10), 82.89% (16322

M.T.) of it is mulberry and 17.11% (3368 M.T.) Vanya silks. The area reported

by States as cumulatively planted under mulberry is 1.84 lakh hectares (2009-

10); and the production of mulberry cocoons is 131661 tonnes.

2.3 REASON FOR SILK INDUSTRY TO BE LAUNCHED IN

2.4 FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

The technology of the industry is still developing; the present existing

technology has the ability of extracting just 20-24% of the value of one

cocoon. This shows it has a huge scope for improvement of the

technology.

The production level of vanya silks is less and it has greater scope for

commercial increase in production.

The study conducted by CSB shows that, the silk industry has a great

scope for commercialisation.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

3. COMPANY PROFILEThe 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.

4. PRODUCT PROFILESILK

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.

Why Silk?

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

Silk has wide range of product diversification. The silk was used only for

the purpose of dress materials previously. The smoothness, nature of silk and

the high protein content of the silk has bought many product diversifications.

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

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

number of food plants.

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, Bombyxmori 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.

4.1 Mulberry Silk Worm


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

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, Antheraeamylitta 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, Antheraeaproyeli. 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.

4.2 Tasar silk worm


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,

Antheraeaassamensis. 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,

chadars etc.

4.3 Muga silk worm

Eri: Known as Endi or Errandi.It is ranked non-mulbery silk production. Eri

silk production states are Assam and parts of North-Eastern states. Eri-culture is

a household activity practiced mainly for protein rich pupae, a delicacy for the

tribal.

Achievements of Central Silk Board

During 2009-10, 67 Research projects are continued and 30 new Research

projects were initiated and total 50 research projects were concluded.

MULBERRY

Five new genotypes were evaluated under Final Yield Evaluation (FYE),

two genotypes out-yielded the check variety by 16-21% and 2.94 –

22.22% under optimal and sub-optimal conditions of irrigation

respectively.

Eleven HVA1 lines of transgenic mulberry plants were maintained under

greenhouse conditions and preliminary data on morpho-biochemical

parameters were recorded.

Attempts were made to develop drought tolerant genotypes by utilizing

leaf explants of V-1, S-34 and S-36 for Agrobacterium mediated

6.5.4 PRODUCTION AND DEMAND GAP OF RAW SILK

Domestic production of raw silk continues to stagnate and is not sufficient to

meet the risingdemand, particularly to meet the export requirements. Hence, the

country is dependent uponimports, mostly from China. In 2009-10, India

imported raw silk to the tune of 7500 tonnes, amarginal decrease over the

imports in 2008-09.With insufficientdomestic production, a significant portion

of the domestic demand is met through imports.Current imports from China

contribute 27% of the demand.

6.8 CORPORATE AND ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT

PROGRAMMEME

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 programmes aim at transforming individual and prepare

themes to take up viable sericulture based activities.

In addition, CSB has also organizes, from time to time, different

development programmers like bankers training programme (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 Programme (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 programme like

Management Development Programme, Resource Development Programme,

Competence Training Programmeetc. for the overall development of silk

industry

7. SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a

venture.

7.1STRENGTHS

As a government organization it has more decision power in

regulating Seri-culture industry.

The funds allocation from union government is high hence the

organization is financially sound.

There is no outside competitor residing in India for research and

development of sericulture.

Major technological breakthroughs in mulberry varieties, silkworm

races and processing equipments.

Ability to respond quickly to crises situations during market

fluctuation, prices crashes – implementing price support

mechanism, filing Anti Dumping Petitions, controlling disease

outbreaks etc.

Ability and infrastructure for Capacity building through

appropriate training initiatives for the development of trained

manpower for tribal farmers, reelers, departmental officials, NGOs,

Bankers etc.

ISO 9001-2000 certified Textile Testing Labs, Seed Production

Centres and Training Initiatives.

Large pool of scientific talent and trained Man-power for R&D.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

Effective reach for supporting tribal, farmers and reelers since

CSB’s Extension centres and Offices are located in the nerve

centres of silk activities throughout the country.

7.2 WEAKNESSES:

Ageing Employees pool with an average age of 46 yrs. as there has

been no fresh recruitment since 1996.

Lack of promotional avenues for different cadres resulting in low

motivational levels.

Centralized power of decision making.

The stringent State laws on sericulture are a serious impediment to

bring effective reforms in the silk sector.

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.

Inability of the State Governments to effectively transfer the post

cocoon technologies to the field through their own extension

centres, since CSB has got limited Extension centres in comparison

to State Agencies.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

7.3 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.

India being largest silk consumer, it shows its unmet scope of silk

industry.

Sericulture is a highly profitable sector in commercial crops

compared to other commercial crops.

The world silk fabric production is 1.6% of its total fabrics and the

demand for silk fabrics and silk products is also high.

Economically weaker section people can employ sericulture with

less investment also.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

7.4 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 have affected Indian silk industry.

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 has led to uprooting of thousands

of acres of mulberry gardens.

There is competition from man-made fibers like nylon, polyester

etc. This requires serious attention.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

8. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS

8.1 FINDINGS

The departmental functioning is on the lines of proper co-ordination and

managerial decision-making.

Inter departmental communication is efficientand it is highly hierarchical.

Procedures related to decision making is time consuming.

Although organization is good as for training and development is

concern, it has to improve much more in this direction.

It lacks effective marketing touch of its output (research findings&

invention).

Excellent employee care is present in the organisation in terms of work

flexibility, leaves and additional perks.

Well educated ambience in the organisation, with excellent hospitality

and highly co-operative staff.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

8.2 SUGGESTIONS

In order to improve certain aspects, the following suggestions are

recommended

In order to improve the security of the organization, technologies

like smart cards for employees, biometric attendance can be

implemented.

It is suggested to diversify its research activities as financial

resources are ample.

The combined technology development and carrying researches with

other countries can be carried out.

Technology export and imports from other countries are not present;

hence technology import and export can be done for the

improvement of silk industry.

A contractual tie ups should be made with the silk producing states

to implement its research findings & innovations in the clusters

/region of each state for enhancement of production and

productivity.

Reach the uncovered and underdeveloped territories of the country

through various publications and effective programmes and

demonstration via press and folk-media to create awareness in the

people about is research findings & invention.

Focus on increasing the percentage earning of silk exports of India.

Cost benefits ratio is comparatively higher in sericulture compared

to other cash crop and it will be more, if developmental

plan/schemes implemented in full proof.


CENTRAL SILK BOARD

8.3 CONCLUSION

Central Silk Board is completely a Non Profit Organization which is

working fully for enhancement of production, productivity, quality and

economic development of the stake holders. Silk is no longer a fibre of

making fabrics it has gone beyond that, vizmedicine, cosmetics, sandals,

carpets etc. In these industry and CSB can motivate for the scope and

improvement of production of value aided allied silk products.

The industry needs the output of this organisation. When the

knowledge output of the Central Silk Board is used in the development of

Seri-culture industry in India, then we can have profitable foreign exchange

earnings to our economy. In this ‘era of liberalisation’ and ‘era of

globalisation’, it is great to see a government organisation working with

enthusiasm for the development of the industry.

In simple words, Central Silk Board is committed towards production of

quality silkworm seeds & enhances the production of International Standard

Quality silk in India. Finally to say, development is for the sake of common

man, that takes a country to the great heights.

This organization study has enhanced my knowledge. I

understood the functioning of various departments and importance of

communication skills to have a good rapport with management.
