CHAPTER I<br />
HIGHLIGHTS<br />
Awards for Master Craftpersons & Weavers 2009, 2010<br />
Indian Textile Industry has an<br />
overwhelming presence in the<br />
economic life <strong>of</strong> the country. Apart<br />
from providing one <strong>of</strong> the basic<br />
necessities <strong>of</strong> life, the textile industry<br />
also plays a p<strong>iv</strong>otal role through<br />
its contribution to industrial output,<br />
employment generation and the export<br />
earnings <strong>of</strong> the country. It contributes<br />
about 14% to the industrial production,<br />
4% to the GDP and 11% to the country’s<br />
export earnings. The textile sector is the<br />
second largest provider <strong>of</strong> employment<br />
after agriculture.<br />
The Indian textiles industry is extremely<br />
varied, with the hand-spun and<br />
handwoven sector at one end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
spectrum, and the capital intens<strong>iv</strong>e,<br />
sophisticated mill sector at the other.<br />
The decentralized powerlooms/ hosiery<br />
and knitting sector form the largest<br />
section <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Textiles</strong> Sector. The close<br />
linkage <strong>of</strong> the Industry to agriculture and<br />
3<br />
the ancient culture, and traditions <strong>of</strong> the<br />
country make the Indian textiles sector<br />
unique in comparison with the textiles<br />
industry <strong>of</strong> other countries. This also<br />
provides the industry with the capacity<br />
to produce a variety <strong>of</strong> products suitable<br />
to the different market segments, both<br />
within and outside the country.<br />
The major sub-sectors that comprise<br />
the textiles sector include the organized<br />
Cotton/Man-Made Fibre <strong>Textiles</strong> Mill<br />
Industry, the Man-Made Fibre/Filament<br />
Yarn Industry, the Wool and woollen<br />
<strong>Textiles</strong> Industry, the Sericulture and Silk<br />
<strong>Textiles</strong> Industry, Handlooms, Handicrafts,<br />
the Jute and Jute <strong>Textiles</strong> Industry, and<br />
<strong>Textiles</strong> Exports.<br />

subsequently extended upto March 31,<br />
2007. The Scheme provides for interest<br />
reimbursement/capital subsidy/Margin<br />
Money subsidy and has been devised<br />
to bridge the gap between the cost <strong>of</strong><br />
interest and the capital component to<br />
ease up the working capital requirement<br />
and to reduce the transaction cost, etc.<br />
The Scheme is an important tool to infuse<br />
financial support to the textiles industry<br />
and help it capitalize on the vibrant and<br />
expanding global and domestic markets,<br />
through technology upgradation, cost<br />
effect<strong>iv</strong>eness, quality production, efficiency<br />
and global competit<strong>iv</strong>eness. The progress<br />
<strong>of</strong> TUFS is detailed at Chapter-3.<br />
SCHEME FOR INTEGRATED<br />
TEXTILES PARK (SITP)<br />
Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks<br />
(SITP): The ‘Scheme for Integrated<br />
Textile Parks (SITP)’ was Approved in the<br />
10 th F<strong>iv</strong>e Year Plan to provide the industry<br />
with world-class infrastructure facilities<br />
for setting up their textile units by merging<br />
the erstwhile ‘Apparel Parks for Exports<br />
Scheme (APES) and Textile Centre<br />
Infrastructure Development Scheme<br />
(TCIDS).<br />
Scope <strong>of</strong> the Scheme:<br />
The scheme targets industrial clusters/<br />
locations with high growth potential, which<br />
require strategic interventions by way<br />
<strong>of</strong> providing world-class infrastructure<br />
support. The project cost covers<br />
common infrastructure and buildings for<br />
production/support act<strong>iv</strong>ities, depending<br />
on the needs <strong>of</strong> the ITP. There will be<br />
flexibility in setting up ITPs to suit the<br />
local requirements.<br />
This Scheme is implemented through<br />
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs),<br />
where. Industry Associations/Group <strong>of</strong><br />
Entrepreneurs are the main promoters<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Integrated <strong>Textiles</strong> Park (ITP).<br />
4<br />
ministry <strong>of</strong> textiles<br />
At each, ITP, there would be a separate<br />
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed<br />
with the representat<strong>iv</strong>es <strong>of</strong> local Industry,<br />
Financial Institutions, State and Central<br />
Government. SPV shall invariably be<br />
a Corporate Body registered under the<br />
Companies Act. Any different structure<br />
for the SPV requires the approval <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Project Approval Committee. The SPVs<br />
shall have operational autonomy so that<br />
they do not become surrogate Public<br />
Enterprises or be controlled by Central/<br />
State Governments. The details are at<br />
Chapter-3.<br />
TEXTILE<br />
WORKERS’<br />
REHABILITATION FUND SCHEME<br />
(TWRFS)<br />
The Textile Workers’ Rehabilitation Fund<br />
Scheme came into force with effect from<br />
15.09.1986 with the object<strong>iv</strong>e to provide<br />
interim relief to textile workers rendered<br />
unemployed as a consequence <strong>of</strong><br />
permanent closure <strong>of</strong> any particular portion<br />
or entire textile unit. Assistance under<br />
the Scheme is payable to eligible workers<br />
only for the purpose <strong>of</strong> enabling them<br />
to settle in another employment. Such<br />
assistance is not heritable, transferable<br />
or capable <strong>of</strong> being attached on account<br />
<strong>of</strong> any other liabilities <strong>of</strong> the worker. The<br />
worker’s eligibility shall cease if he takes<br />
up employment in another registered or<br />
licensed undertaking. The rehabilitation<br />
assistance will not be curtailed if the<br />
worker fixes himself in a self-employment<br />
venture. The details are at Chapter-3.<br />
TECHNICAL TEXTILES<br />
Technical <strong>Textiles</strong> is the sunrise sector <strong>of</strong><br />
the textile industry in India, with a current<br />
market size <strong>of</strong> Rs 57,000 crores and a<br />
growth rate poised to take <strong>of</strong>f from the<br />
present 11%, to almost 20% during the<br />
12th F<strong>iv</strong>e Year Plan. Technical <strong>Textiles</strong><br />
are material products used primarily<br />
for their functional properties and have
annual report 2012-13<br />
become a major industry segment<br />
globally, leading to an improved quality<br />
<strong>of</strong> life for citizens.<br />
Technical <strong>Textiles</strong> are high performance<br />
textiles which find application not only<br />
in clothing but also in areas such as<br />
agriculture, medical, infrastructure<br />
development, automot<strong>iv</strong>e, aerospace,<br />
sports, protect<strong>iv</strong>e clothing, packaging,<br />
etc. The global market size <strong>of</strong> Technical<br />
Textile Industry in 2010 was estimated to<br />
be Rs 5.72 trillion, which has grown at an<br />
annual rate <strong>of</strong> approximately 3% since<br />
2005. Based on the past trend <strong>of</strong> growth<br />
and estimated end user segment growth,<br />
the market size <strong>of</strong> Technical <strong>Textiles</strong> in<br />
India is projected to Rs. 1.5 lakh crores<br />
for the year 2016-17 with a growth rate <strong>of</strong><br />
20% per annum.<br />
Technology Mission on Technical<br />
<strong>Textiles</strong> (TMTT):<br />
Technology Mission on Technical <strong>Textiles</strong><br />
(TMTT) has been launched with two<br />
mini missions starting from 2010-11<br />
to 2014-15 with a financial outlay <strong>of</strong> Rs.<br />
200 crore. The object<strong>iv</strong>e the mission is<br />
to remove the impediments hampering<br />
the production <strong>of</strong> technical textiles in the<br />
country to meet growing demand in the<br />
domestic and export market. The details<br />
are at Chapter-3.<br />
EXPORTS<br />
India’s textiles and clothing industry is one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the mainstays <strong>of</strong> the national economy.<br />
It is also one <strong>of</strong> the largest contributing<br />
sectors <strong>of</strong> India’s <strong>exports</strong> worldwide. The<br />
report <strong>of</strong> Working Group constituted by the<br />
Planning Commission on boosting India’s<br />
manufacturing <strong>exports</strong> during 12 th F<strong>iv</strong>e<br />
Year Plan (2012-17), envisages India’s<br />
<strong>exports</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Textiles</strong> and Clothing at USD<br />
64.11 billion by the end <strong>of</strong> March 2017.<br />
The textiles industry accounts for 14% <strong>of</strong><br />
industrial production, which is 4% <strong>of</strong> GDP;<br />
5<br />
employs 45 million people and accounts<br />
for nearly 11% share <strong>of</strong> the country’s total<br />
<strong>exports</strong> basket.<br />
COTTON<br />
Cotton is one <strong>of</strong> the principal crops <strong>of</strong><br />
the country and is the major raw material<br />
for domestic textile industry. It provides<br />
sustenance to millions <strong>of</strong> farmers as<br />
also the workers involved in cotton<br />
industry, right from processing to trading<br />
<strong>of</strong> cotton. The Indian textile industry<br />
consumes a d<strong>iv</strong>erse range <strong>of</strong> fibres and<br />
yarn, but is predominantly cotton based.<br />
The growth and all around development<br />
<strong>of</strong> cotton and cotton industry has a vital<br />
bearing on the overall development <strong>of</strong><br />
the Indian economy. The details are at<br />
Chapter-5.<br />
THE JUTE AND JUTE TEXTILES<br />
INDUSTRY<br />
The Jute industry occupies an important<br />
place in the national economy <strong>of</strong> India. It<br />
is one <strong>of</strong> the major industries in the eastern<br />
region, particularly in West Bengal. Jute,<br />
the golden fibre, meets all the standards<br />
for ‘safe’ packaging in view <strong>of</strong> being a<br />
natural, renewable, biodegradable and<br />
eco-friendly product. It is estimated that<br />
that the jute industry provides direct<br />
employment to 0.37 million workers in<br />
organized mills and d<strong>iv</strong>ersified units<br />
including tertiary sector and allied act<strong>iv</strong>ities<br />
and supports the l<strong>iv</strong>elihood <strong>of</strong> around 4.0<br />
million farm families. In addition there are<br />
a large number <strong>of</strong> persons engaged in the<br />
trade <strong>of</strong> jute.<br />
In the world perspect<strong>iv</strong>e, India is the<br />
major producer <strong>of</strong> both raw jute and jute<br />
products. Out <strong>of</strong> the total world production<br />
<strong>of</strong> Jute, Kenaf and allied fibre <strong>of</strong> 3.0 million<br />
tonnes in 2007-08, India produced 1.8<br />
million tonnes. In percentage terms India<br />
accounted for 60 % <strong>of</strong> world production<br />
in 2007-08. Global production <strong>of</strong> jute and<br />

HANDLOOMS<br />
Handloom weaving is one <strong>of</strong> the largest<br />
economic act<strong>iv</strong>ities after agriculture<br />
6<br />
ministry <strong>of</strong> textiles<br />
providing direct and indirect employment<br />
to more than 43 lakh weavers and<br />
allied workers. This sector contributes<br />
nearly 15% <strong>of</strong> the cloth production in the<br />
country and also contributes to the export<br />
earnings <strong>of</strong> the country 95% <strong>of</strong> the world’s<br />
handwoven fabric comes from India.<br />
PRODUCTION IN THE HANDLOOM<br />
SECTOR<br />
Resultant to the developmental and welfare<br />
measures initiated by the Government <strong>of</strong><br />
India, the declining trend in production in<br />
the handloom sector had been arrested<br />
and from the year 2004-05 (except the<br />
year <strong>of</strong> recession in 2008-09) there in<br />
fact has been a considerable growth in<br />
production in the sector. Production in the<br />
handloom sector recorded a figure <strong>of</strong> 6900<br />
million sq. meters in the year 2011-12,<br />
which is about 25% over the production<br />
figure <strong>of</strong> 5493 million sq. meters recorded<br />
in the year 2003-04.<br />
REVIVAL, REFORM AND<br />
RESTRUCTURING PACKAGE<br />
The Finance Minister in Budget <strong>of</strong> 2011-<br />
12, in acknowledgement <strong>of</strong> economic<br />
stress being faced by handloom weavers<br />
and societies due to inability to repay<br />
debts, announced a financial package<br />
for handloom sector. Pursuant to this, the<br />
Government <strong>of</strong> India approved a scheme<br />
called ‘Rev<strong>iv</strong>al, Reform and Restructuring<br />
Package’ for handloom sector. The<br />
scheme includes one time wa<strong>iv</strong>er <strong>of</strong><br />
overdue loans and interest <strong>of</strong> eligible<br />
handloom cooperat<strong>iv</strong>e societies and<br />
handloom weavers and provides fresh<br />
credit with interest subsidy <strong>of</strong> 3% for 3<br />
years with credit guarantee. The scheme<br />
is currently benefitting about 5250 eligible<br />
cooperat<strong>iv</strong>e societies and around 50,000<br />
handloom weavers. Further relaxation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the norms <strong>of</strong> the scheme is under<br />
consideration <strong>of</strong> the Government to widen<br />
the beneficiary coverage <strong>of</strong> the scheme.

Handicrafts<br />
The Handicrafts Sector plays a<br />
significant & important role in the<br />
country’s economy. It provides<br />
employment to a vast segment <strong>of</strong> craft<br />
persons in rural & semi urban areas and<br />
generates substantial foreign exchange<br />
for the country, while preserving its<br />
cultural heritage. Handicrafts have<br />
great potential, as they hold the key for<br />
sustaining not only the existing set <strong>of</strong><br />
millions <strong>of</strong> artisans spread over length<br />
and breadth <strong>of</strong> the country, but also for<br />
the increasingly large number <strong>of</strong> new<br />
entrants in the crafts act<strong>iv</strong>ity. Presently,<br />
handicrafts contribute substantially to<br />
employment generation and <strong>exports</strong>.<br />
The Handicraft sector has, however,<br />
suffered due to its being unorganized,<br />
with the additional constraints <strong>of</strong> lack <strong>of</strong><br />
education, low capital, poor exposure to<br />
new technologies, absence <strong>of</strong> market<br />
intelligence, and a poor institutional<br />
framework.<br />
The sector is estimated to employ Rs 68.86<br />
lakh artisans at present and the export<br />
<strong>of</strong> handicrafts including handmade carpet<br />
upto November 2012 has been 12157.21<br />
crores which shows an increase <strong>of</strong> 34.19%<br />
over the same period in financial year<br />
2011-12, and the plan allocation during<br />
2012-13 is Rs. 177.00 crores.<br />
During the 2012-13 the Government <strong>of</strong><br />
India implemented six generic central<br />
sector schemes for holistic growth and<br />
development <strong>of</strong> handicrafts sector in the<br />
country. The details are at Chapter-11.
annual report 2012-13<br />
INTEGRATED SKILL DEVELOPMENT<br />
SCHEME (ISDS)<br />
The Integrated Skill Development Scheme<br />
(ISDS) was introduced as a pilot scheme<br />
in the last two years <strong>of</strong> the 11 th F<strong>iv</strong>e year<br />
Plan with an outlay <strong>of</strong> Rs. 272 crore<br />
including Rs. 229 crore as Government<br />
contribution with a physical target <strong>of</strong> 2.56<br />
lakh persons. The scheme is part <strong>of</strong> a<br />
Government wide focus on creating skill<br />
that is needed to enhance the competition<br />
advantage <strong>of</strong> India in the manufacturing<br />
and <strong>Textiles</strong> sector. It is proposed to<br />
continue the scheme during the 12th Plan.<br />
The details are at Chapter-17.<br />
powerloom sector<br />
The decentralised powerloom sector<br />
is one <strong>of</strong> the most important segments<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Textile Industry in terms <strong>of</strong> fabric<br />
production and employment generation.<br />
It provides employment to 57.44 Lakh<br />
persons and contributes 62 percent to<br />
total cloth production in the Country.<br />
60% <strong>of</strong> the fabrics produced in the<br />
powerloom sector is <strong>of</strong> man-made. More<br />
than 60% <strong>of</strong> fabric meant for export is<br />
also sourced from powerloom sector.<br />
The readymade garments and home<br />
textile sectors are heavily dependent<br />
on the powerloom sector to meet their<br />
fabric requirement.<br />
There are approximately 5.24 Lakh<br />
Powerloom Units with 23.24 Lakh<br />
Powerlooms as on 30.09.2012. The<br />
technology level <strong>of</strong> this sector varies from<br />
obsolete plain loom to high tech shuttleless<br />
looms. There are approximately<br />
1,05,000 shuttleless looms in this sector.<br />
It is estimated that more than 75% <strong>of</strong> the<br />
shuttle looms are obsolete and outdated<br />
with a vintage <strong>of</strong> more than 15 years and<br />
have virtually no process or quality control<br />
devices / attachments. However, there<br />
has been significant upgradation in the<br />
9<br />
technology level <strong>of</strong> the powerloom sector<br />
during the last 5-6 years.<br />
Powerloom Mega Clusters<br />
Comprehens<strong>iv</strong>e Powerloom Cluster<br />
Development Scheme was formulated in<br />
the year 2008-09 to enable implementation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the announcement made by the Finance<br />
Minister in his Budget Speech 2008-09<br />
to develop Bhiwandi (Maharashtra) and<br />
Erode (Tamil Nadu) as Powerloom Mega<br />
Clusters. Subsequently, Government has<br />
announced development <strong>of</strong> Powerloom<br />
Mega Clusters in Bhilwara (Rajasthan)<br />
in budget 2009-10 and Ichalkaranji<br />
(Maharashtra) in Budget 2012-13.<br />
The guiding principles underlying the<br />
design <strong>of</strong> clusters is to create worldclass<br />
infrastructure and to integrate<br />
the production chain in a manner that<br />
caters to the business needs <strong>of</strong> the local<br />
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)<br />
to boost production and export. The<br />
broad object<strong>iv</strong>es <strong>of</strong> the Mega cluster<br />
approach Scheme is to enhance the<br />
competit<strong>iv</strong>eness <strong>of</strong> the clusters in terms<br />
<strong>of</strong> increased market share and ensuring<br />
increased product<strong>iv</strong>ity by higher unit value<br />
realization <strong>of</strong> the products. The Scheme<br />
provides requisite support / linkages<br />
in terms <strong>of</strong> adequate infrastructure,<br />
technology, product d<strong>iv</strong>ersification,<br />
design development, raw material<br />
banks, marketing & promotion, credit,<br />
social security and other components<br />
that are vital for sustainability <strong>of</strong> weavers<br />
engaged in the decentralized powerloom<br />
sector.<br />
Government funds to the tune <strong>of</strong> Rs.30<br />
crore (approx..) was released for<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> the Powerloom Mega<br />
Clusters till December, 2012.<br />

THE ORGANIZED TEXTILES MILL INDUSTRY<br />
TECHNOLOGY UPGRADATION<br />
FUND SCHEME (TUFS)<br />
The Technology Upgradation Fund<br />
Scheme (TUFS) was launched on April 1,<br />
1999, for a period <strong>of</strong> f<strong>iv</strong>e years, and was<br />
subsequently extended upto March 31,<br />
2007. The Scheme provides for interest<br />
reimbursement/capital subsidy/Margin<br />
Money subsidy and has been devised<br />
to bridge the gap between the cost <strong>of</strong><br />
interest and the capital component to<br />
ease up the working capital requirement<br />
and to reduce the transaction cost, etc.<br />
The Scheme is an important tool to infuse<br />
financial support to the textiles industry<br />
and help it capitalize on the vibrant and<br />
expanding global and domestic markets,<br />
through technology upgradation, cost<br />
effect<strong>iv</strong>eness, quality production,<br />
efficiency and global competit<strong>iv</strong>eness.<br />
During its initial years, the progress <strong>of</strong><br />
the Scheme was moderate and it gained<br />
momentum from 2004-05 onwards. The<br />
Scheme has been further extended<br />
till 2012 with modified financial and<br />
operational parameters which focus<br />
on additional capacity building, better<br />
adoption <strong>of</strong> technology, and provides for<br />
Inauguration <strong>of</strong> Technotex - 2013<br />
23<br />
a higher level <strong>of</strong> assistance to segments<br />
that have a larger potential for growth,<br />
like garmenting, technical textiles, and<br />
processing. The scheme is administered<br />
through 3 nodal agencies, 36 nodal banks<br />
and 108 co-opted PLIs. The scheme since<br />
inception has propelled investment <strong>of</strong><br />
more than Rs. 243721Crores. An amount<br />
<strong>of</strong> Rs. 16315.80 crore has been released<br />
towards subsidy under the Scheme as on<br />
31.01.2013.<br />
Planning Commission has approved an<br />
allocation <strong>of</strong> Rs. 11952.80 crore under<br />
TUFS for the 12 th F<strong>iv</strong>e Year Plan. The<br />
Restructured TUFS ensure focus <strong>of</strong><br />
interventions on hitherto slow growing<br />
sectors like weaving, encouragement<br />
to forward integration and tighter<br />
administrat<strong>iv</strong>e controls and monitoring <strong>of</strong><br />
the scheme. The Restructured TUFS is<br />
expected to trigger additional investments<br />
<strong>of</strong> approximately Rs. 1,50,000 crore<br />
during 12 th F<strong>iv</strong>e Year Plan<br />
Progress <strong>of</strong> TUFS<br />
The progress <strong>of</strong> TUFS is steadily going<br />
up which is evident from the data g<strong>iv</strong>en<br />

CHAPTER V<br />
COTTON<br />
Cotton is one <strong>of</strong> the principal crops<br />
<strong>of</strong> the country and is the major<br />
raw material for domestic textile<br />
industry. It provides sustenance to millions<br />
<strong>of</strong> farmers as also the workers involved<br />
in cotton industry, right from processing<br />
to trading <strong>of</strong> cotton. The Indian textile<br />
industry consumes a d<strong>iv</strong>erse range <strong>of</strong><br />
fibres and yarn, but is predominantly<br />
cotton based. Indian Textile Industry<br />
has an overwhelming presence in the<br />
economic life <strong>of</strong> the country. Apart from<br />
providing one <strong>of</strong> the basic necessities<br />
<strong>of</strong> life, the textile industry also plays a<br />
p<strong>iv</strong>otal role through its contribution to<br />
industrial output, employment generation<br />
and the export earnings <strong>of</strong> the country. It<br />
contributes about 14% to the industrial<br />
production, 4% to the GDP and 11% to<br />
the country’s export earnings. The textile<br />
sector is the second largest provider <strong>of</strong><br />
employment after agriculture. Hence,<br />
growth and all around development <strong>of</strong><br />
cotton and cotton industry has a vital<br />
bearing on the overall development <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Indian economy.<br />
Acreage under cotton cult<strong>iv</strong>ation<br />
Acreage under cotton in India has reduced<br />
marginally. The cotton acreage in 2012-<br />
13 has been projected at 116.14 lakh<br />
hectares as against 121.7 lakh hectares<br />
in previous year.<br />
Approximately 65% <strong>of</strong> Indian’s cotton is<br />
produced on rainfed areas and 35% on<br />
irrigated lands. Cotton farmers in India<br />
have been showing increasing inclination<br />
in bringing more and more areas under<br />
Bt cult<strong>iv</strong>ation, which has helped them<br />
in increasing their net earning through<br />
higher yields and lower cost on pesticides<br />
consumption.<br />
43<br />
Indian cotton varieties<br />
India is the only country to grow all<br />
four species <strong>of</strong> cult<strong>iv</strong>ated cotton Gossy<br />
piumarboreum and herbaceum (Asian<br />
cotton), G.barbadense (Egyptian cotton)<br />
and G. hirsutum (American Upland<br />
cotton). Gossypiumhirsutumre presents<br />
90% <strong>of</strong> the hybrid cotton production in<br />
India and all the current Bt cotton hybrids<br />
are G.hirsutuim. India produces large<br />
number <strong>of</strong> cotton varieties and hybrids.<br />
Though the number <strong>of</strong> varieties in<br />
cult<strong>iv</strong>ation exceeds seventy-f<strong>iv</strong>e, 98% <strong>of</strong><br />
the production is contributed by about 25<br />
varieties only.<br />
Cotton production and product<strong>iv</strong>ity<br />
Cotton is produced in India in three<br />
zones viz., Northern zone comprising<br />
the States <strong>of</strong> Punjab, Haryana and<br />
Rajasthan, Central zone comprising<br />
the States <strong>of</strong> Maharashtra, Madhya<br />
Pradesh and Gujarat and Southern zone<br />
comprising the States <strong>of</strong> Andhra Pradesh,<br />
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Besides<br />
these nine States, cotton cult<strong>iv</strong>ation has<br />
gained momentum in the eastern State <strong>of</strong><br />
Orissa.<br />
With increased acreage and advent <strong>of</strong><br />
Bt cult<strong>iv</strong>ation, the country has achieved<br />
cotton production <strong>of</strong> 5.90 million metric<br />
tons in cotton season 2011-12 as against<br />
5.76 million metric tons in the previous<br />
year. The country has once again retained<br />
the position as the second largest cotton<br />
producing country in the world, after<br />
China.<br />
The cotton yield during the year 2012-<br />
13is estimated at 489kgs per hectare as<br />
against 493kgs per hectare in previous<br />
year.<br />

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

utilization, thereby further declining the<br />
operating pr<strong>of</strong>it margin <strong>of</strong> spinners.<br />
However, with a view to arrest downward<br />
pressure and help stabilize the prices <strong>of</strong><br />
cotton and cotton yarn, the Government<br />
<strong>of</strong> India reinstated DEPB benefits on<br />
export <strong>of</strong> cotton yarn and cotton with<br />
retrospect<strong>iv</strong>e effect from 1 st April 2011<br />
and 1 st October 2010 respect<strong>iv</strong>ely and<br />
removed <strong>of</strong> cap on cotton <strong>exports</strong>. Still the<br />
operating pr<strong>of</strong>itability <strong>of</strong> spinners remained<br />
under pressure which had affected the<br />
overall demand for cotton domestically<br />
& internationally and the mills preferred<br />
to purchase cotton to meet immediate<br />
requirements rather that building lean<br />
season requirement. However the<br />
Cotton Season 2012-13 has seen an<br />

Export & Import <strong>of</strong> cotton<br />
The Government <strong>of</strong> India has decided<br />
to allow the <strong>exports</strong> <strong>of</strong> cotton under<br />
OGL subject to prescribed registration<br />
procedures from 1 st October, 2012 for<br />
the cotton season 2012-13.There was no<br />
export demand in the initial months <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Cotton Season 2012-13 for Indian cotton,<br />
due to global over stocking by countries<br />
like China. As a result, cotton <strong>exports</strong><br />
from the country during the year 2012-13,<br />
has been projected to be80.00 lakh bales<br />
as against 128.81 lakh bales in previous<br />
year.<br />
Imports <strong>of</strong> cotton into India are under Open<br />
General Licence (OGL) since April 1994<br />
and since July 2008, the Government <strong>of</strong><br />
India had abolished the import duty <strong>of</strong><br />
10% alongwith countervailing duty <strong>of</strong> 4%<br />
on cotton imports. Thus Indian mills now<br />
import cotton without any restrictions from<br />
anywhere in the world.<br />
The Imports during the cotton season<br />
2012-13 are estimated at 20 lakh bales.<br />
The imports mainly comprise <strong>of</strong> Extra<br />
Long Staple Cotton. The imports mainly<br />
comprise <strong>of</strong> Extra Long Staple.<br />

Initiat<strong>iv</strong>es taken by the Government <strong>of</strong><br />
India<br />
In order to ensure cotton security the<br />
Government has put in place the following<br />
policy interventions in cotton season<br />
2012-13:<br />
• To get real-time data on Cotton,<br />
through monthly returns from ginning<br />
and pressing factories, traders<br />
and Cotton textile mills by notifying<br />
<strong>Textiles</strong> Commissioner as the<br />
Statistical Officer under the Statistical<br />
Act, 2008.<br />
• Draft Bill on Cotton Distribution<br />
(Collection <strong>of</strong> Statistics) has been<br />
formulated. Tracking <strong>of</strong> every bale<br />
would be possible once this Bill is in<br />
place.<br />
• The time line for <strong>exports</strong> and duty<br />
structure would be determined by the<br />
Standing Committee <strong>of</strong> Secretaries<br />
on Commodity Exports;<br />
• The exportable surplus was identified<br />
as 80 lakh bales.<br />
Minimum Support Price (MSP)<br />
The Cotton Corporation <strong>of</strong> India Ltd.,<br />
undertakes MSP operations on behalf<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Government <strong>of</strong> India ensuring<br />
remunerat<strong>iv</strong>e prices to the cotton<br />
growers <strong>of</strong> the country in the event <strong>of</strong><br />
prevailing kapas prices falling below the<br />

International Cotton Advisory Cotton<br />
Committee (ICAC)<br />
The International Cotton Advisory<br />
Committee is an association <strong>of</strong><br />
Governments having an interest in the<br />
production, export, import and consumption<br />
<strong>of</strong> cotton. It is an intergovernmental<br />
organization composed <strong>of</strong> countries<br />
that produce, consume and trade cotton<br />
and is designed to promote cooperation<br />
in the solution <strong>of</strong> cotton problems,<br />
particularly those <strong>of</strong> international scope<br />
and significance. The ICAC is working<br />
with WTO to facilitate international<br />
trade discussions. ICAC is a scientific<br />
and economic organization devoted to<br />
improvement <strong>of</strong> the world cotton sector<br />
and it is not a political body The functions<br />
<strong>of</strong> the International Cotton Advisory<br />
Committee, as defined in the Rules and<br />
Regulations, are: -<br />
• To observe and keep in close touch<br />
with developments affecting the world<br />
cotton situation.<br />
• To collect and disseminate complete,<br />
authentic, and timely statistics on<br />
world cotton production, trade,<br />
consumption, stocks and prices.<br />
• To suggest, as and when advisable,<br />
to the governments represented, any<br />
measure the Advisory Committee<br />
considers suitable and practicable<br />
for the furtherance <strong>of</strong> international<br />
collaboration directed towards<br />
*****<br />
47<br />
developing and maintaining a sound<br />
world cotton economy.<br />
• To be the forum <strong>of</strong> international<br />
discussions on matters related to<br />
cotton prices.<br />
• The 71 st meeting <strong>of</strong> the ICAC, took<br />
place in Interlaken, Switzerland from<br />
October 07-13.2012.<br />
Cotton Corporation <strong>of</strong> India (CCI)<br />
The role assigned to the CCI under the<br />
Textile Policy <strong>of</strong> June 1985 was:<br />
1. To undertake price support operations<br />
whenever the market prices <strong>of</strong> kapas<br />
touch the support prices announced<br />
by the government <strong>of</strong> India without<br />
any quantitat<strong>iv</strong>e limit<br />
2. To undertake commercial operations<br />
only at CCI ‘s own risk; and<br />
3. To purchase cotton to fulfil export<br />
quotas g<strong>iv</strong>en to CCI<br />
The above role <strong>of</strong> the CCI continued<br />
under the New Textile Policy <strong>of</strong> 2000.<br />
However, the last stated function no<br />
longer is relevant as export <strong>of</strong> cotton is<br />
now free and the Government is releasing<br />
no quotas. Nevertheless CCI purchases<br />
cotton even now to undertake export <strong>of</strong><br />
cotton.<br />
In the Cotton Season 2012-13 large scale<br />
MSP operations have been undertaken<br />
by CCI in Andhra Pradesh by operating<br />
around 100 procurement centres.<br />

RAW JUTE SCENARIO<br />
Raw jute crop is an important cash crop<br />
to the farmers. Cult<strong>iv</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> raw jute<br />
crop provides not only fibre, which has<br />
industrial use, but also the jute stick<br />
which is used as fuel by the farming<br />
community. Raw jute is produced mainly<br />
51<br />
in the states <strong>of</strong> West Bengal, Bihar,<br />
Assam, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tripura<br />
and Meghalaya.<br />
The table 6.1 will indicate the supply<br />
demand position <strong>of</strong> raw jute including<br />

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

The progress <strong>of</strong> the schemes is<br />
satisfactory at present. The physical<br />
progress <strong>of</strong> the schemes under Mini<br />
Mission – IV <strong>of</strong> JTM got slightly affected<br />
in the initial period as the start <strong>of</strong> the<br />
implementation processes was delayed<br />
due to some procedural / administrat<strong>iv</strong>e<br />
reasons, viz, drafting <strong>of</strong> the scheme<br />
59<br />
parameters and “Operating Manuals”,<br />
interactions with the members <strong>of</strong><br />
the industry and other jute interests,<br />
in eliciting their views/comments,<br />
acceptance <strong>of</strong> the scheme components,<br />
etc. and finally consideration and<br />
approval <strong>of</strong> the “Operating Manuals” by<br />
the <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Textiles</strong>, Government <strong>of</strong><br />
India. The implementation effect<strong>iv</strong>ely<br />
commenced in 2008-09 onwards, but<br />
the progress was again hindered by the<br />
prolonged strike in the jute industry in<br />
2009-10. Further, most <strong>of</strong> the Schemes<br />
under Mini Mission IV were back-ended<br />
– which indicates that the maximum<br />
utilization <strong>of</strong> fund and the achievements<br />
can be recorded and would be visible by<br />
the end <strong>of</strong> the Mission period.<br />
The submissions <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Textiles</strong>,<br />
Government <strong>of</strong> India before the Standing<br />
Committee on Labour [15th Lok Sabha]<br />
on the “Development <strong>of</strong> Jute Sector”<br />
corroborate NJB’s observations as above.<br />
The Standing Committee on Labour<br />
[15th Lok Sabha] on the “Development<br />
<strong>of</strong> Jute Sector”, in appreciating the initial<br />
constraints encountered in implementation<br />
<strong>of</strong> JTM and considering the significance<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Mission for the rev<strong>iv</strong>al <strong>of</strong> Jute<br />
Sector, recommended that JTM be further<br />
extended to the 12 th F<strong>iv</strong>e Year Plan and<br />
instead <strong>of</strong> setting cumulat<strong>iv</strong>e targets for f<strong>iv</strong>e<br />
years, yearly targets be fixed under each<br />
scheme for their effect<strong>iv</strong>e implementation.<br />

planned in 2010-11 under nonplan<br />
for promoting raw jute supply<br />
stability.<br />
iii) Scheme for Support Supply Chain<br />
and Bulk Supply <strong>of</strong> JDPs<br />
Financial assistance is extended to<br />
jute entrepreneurs to ensure supply<br />
chain and bulk supply <strong>of</strong> JDPs for<br />
select<strong>iv</strong>e and mass consumptions.<br />
This assistance is aimed at meeting<br />
increasing demand for jute shopping<br />
bags and other JDP’s arising mainly<br />
due to restrictions on the use <strong>of</strong><br />
plastic, and thereby supporting the<br />
cause <strong>of</strong> health <strong>of</strong> environment. Till<br />
date, 53 applications for opening <strong>of</strong><br />
retail outlets have been rece<strong>iv</strong>ed<br />
from 31 jute entrepreneurs. NJB<br />
has accorded approval to opening<br />
<strong>of</strong> 10 retail outlets at Bangalore,<br />

v. Schemes for Workers’ Welfare in<br />
Jute Sector.<br />
National Jute Board [NJB] provides<br />
assistance for the welfare <strong>of</strong> workers in<br />
jute-producing units both in jute mills and<br />
in small units producing JDPs. NJB utilise<br />
non-Plan funds to :-<br />
(a) improve the sanitation, health<br />
facilities and working conditions in<br />
the mill sector and;<br />
(b) provide incent<strong>iv</strong>es to the small and<br />
medium JDP units for compliance<br />
with prescribed working conditions.<br />
This Workers’ Welfare Scheme therefore<br />
has 2 broad sub-schemes, one for the<br />
mills and one for the small sector. In<br />
both cases, proposals from mills or JDP<br />
units are prepared by the management in<br />
consultation with the accredited unions.<br />
Component I – Mill Sector<br />
Sanitation facilities– A Scheme to provide<br />
hygienic sanitary facilities for mill workers
annual report 2012-13<br />
and their families, first in the mill quarters<br />
and in the second stage in the working<br />
areas. Sanitary facilities include designed<br />
sanitary blocks with toilet facilities for<br />
men and women, wash basins, sewage,<br />
etc. In order to speed up the process <strong>of</strong><br />
construction are allotted to third-party tieup<br />
with M/s Sulabh International or such<br />
other reputed organizations especially<br />
those agencies which may have a<br />
government dispensation exempting<br />
them from participation in tender. The<br />
concerned mill first incurs the expenditure<br />
and National Jute Board thereafter<br />
reimburse 90% <strong>of</strong> the costs subject to a<br />
maximum reimbursement <strong>of</strong>Rs. 20.00<br />
lakh, subject to submission <strong>of</strong> claim along<br />
with accounts and vouchers and physical<br />
verification <strong>of</strong> the facility.<br />

country-law, audit certificate before or<br />
for placing orders on the manufacturers<br />
<strong>of</strong> lifestyle jute products which are<br />
manufactured by the MSEs in the Informal<br />
Sector <strong>of</strong> Jute. Hence export oriented<br />
MSEs in the Informal Sector <strong>of</strong> jute shall<br />
conduct such Social Audits. Social audit<br />
is undertaken annually by the Firms like<br />
SGS, SEDEX, INTERTEK, STR LABs<br />
and the ISO certifying firms mainly under<br />
the following major heads:-<br />
1. Child Labour.<br />
2. Minimum Wages.<br />

4.2 SILK MARK ORGANIZATION OF<br />
INDIA (SMOI)<br />
The <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Textiles</strong> came up with an<br />
initiat<strong>iv</strong>e for the protection <strong>of</strong> the interests<br />
<strong>of</strong> the consumers and other stakeholders<br />
<strong>of</strong> the silk value-chain by bringing out “Silk<br />
Mark” Scheme in June 2004. Silk Mark,<br />
the Quality Assurance Label signifying<br />
purity <strong>of</strong> silk products, was launched<br />
through the Silk Mark Organisation <strong>of</strong> India<br />
(SMOI), a registered Society promoted by<br />
the Central Silk Board under MOT. Silk<br />
Mark labels can be affixed to primary,<br />
intermediate and finished products <strong>of</strong> silk<br />
including yarn, fabric, sarees, made-ups,<br />
garments, carpets, etc.<br />
The Silk Mark Scheme is aimed at<br />
protecting the interests <strong>of</strong> the users and<br />
connoisseurs <strong>of</strong> silk, and for the generic<br />
promotion <strong>of</strong> pure silk and also for building<br />
brand-equity <strong>of</strong> Indian Silk.<br />
Since the launch <strong>of</strong> Silk Mark in June 2004,<br />
over 2000 Authorized Users have been<br />
registered under the scheme and more<br />
than 1.50 crore Silk Mark labelled products<br />
have reached the market for the benefit <strong>of</strong><br />
consumers. Apart from becoming familiar<br />
with the consumers, Silk Mark is gaining<br />
confidence <strong>of</strong> the Silk Industry as well.<br />
During 2011-12, 302 new Authorised users<br />
joined SMOI under Silk Mark Scheme and<br />
26.00 lakhs <strong>of</strong> Silk Mark Labelled products<br />
have reached the market.<br />
Fifteen Expos have been planned<br />
during the year 2012-13 and 8 such<br />
70<br />
ministry <strong>of</strong> textiles<br />
Expos have already been conducted<br />
one each at Srinagar, Kochin, Kolkata,<br />

(CSB) have jointly worked for technical<br />
cooperation in the area <strong>of</strong> development<br />
and popularization <strong>of</strong> B<strong>iv</strong>oltine Sericulture<br />
Technology suited to Indian agro-climatic<br />
conditions for past fifteen years.<br />
Encouraged by the success <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cooperation programme, Central<br />
Silk Board, in association with JICA,<br />
implemented a third country training<br />
programme on “B<strong>iv</strong>oltine Sericulture<br />
Technology” during 2008-09 for some <strong>of</strong><br />
the Afro-Asian countries to disseminate<br />
the knowledge and skills on b<strong>iv</strong>oltine<br />
sericulture technologies to these silk<br />
producing countries and organized training<br />
for 11 <strong>of</strong>ficers in ‘Administrat<strong>iv</strong>e Course’<br />
and 15 <strong>of</strong>ficers in ’Technical Course’<br />
nominated from 8 different countries<br />
viz. Ghana, Cambodia, Uganda, Nigeria,<br />

MANIPUR SERICULTURE PROJECT<br />
(PHASE-II)<br />
Government <strong>of</strong> Manipur has implemented<br />
a Manipur Sericulture Project (Phase-I)<br />
with a total project cost <strong>of</strong> Rs.154.99 crore<br />
over a period <strong>of</strong> 10 years from 1998 to<br />
2008 with financial assistance from Japan<br />
International Co-operation Agency (JICA),<br />
Govt. <strong>of</strong> Japan. Under this project, Govt.<br />
<strong>of</strong> Manipur has developed 1,700 hectares<br />
<strong>of</strong> mulberry Plantation, organisation <strong>of</strong><br />
1000 FOUs (Field Operating Units), and<br />
created infrastructure for 60 Community<br />
CRCs, 4,573 Ind<strong>iv</strong>idual Adult rearing<br />
Houses(IARH), two industrial mulberry<br />
grainages, 1 each <strong>of</strong> P3 and P2 Silkworm<br />
seed production centers, 15 Technical<br />
Service Centres, 1 Sericulture Training<br />
School, 6 District Cocoon Storage &<br />
Drying facilities, infrastructure for multiend<br />
silk reeling and silk conditioning<br />
and testing unit, 1 silk twisting unit and<br />
1 post Cocoon Technical Training -<br />
cum - Production Centre. As a result <strong>of</strong><br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> this project as Phase-I,<br />
the brushing capacity <strong>of</strong> a farmer has<br />
increased from 10-25 dfls/crop to 80-100<br />
dfls / crop with an average product<strong>iv</strong>ity<br />
<strong>of</strong> around 30-35 kg cocoons per 100 dfls<br />
from the level <strong>of</strong> 20-22 kg cocoons per<br />
100 dfls.<br />
Though sufficient infrastructure to<br />
address different aspect <strong>of</strong> sericulture<br />
71<br />
industry in Manipur, has been put in place<br />
through MSP (Phase-I), the utilization<br />
has not reached the optimum level due<br />
to various factors like lack <strong>of</strong> equipment<br />
support for the infrastructure created,<br />
gaps in plantations, transfer <strong>of</strong> improved<br />
technology to the silkworm rearers, and<br />
utility <strong>of</strong> adult rearing houses due to<br />
some lacunae in its designs. In order to<br />
capitalize up on the investment already<br />
made in the State for the development<br />
<strong>of</strong> silk industry and optimization <strong>of</strong><br />
silk output Phase-II <strong>of</strong> the Manipur<br />
Sericulture Project has been planned<br />
with a total cost <strong>of</strong> Rs 356.5 crores and<br />
submitted to JICA for funding. However,<br />
due to reluctance <strong>of</strong> JICA to take up<br />
the second phase <strong>of</strong> the project due to<br />
various reasons alternat<strong>iv</strong>e financing<br />
arrangements are being tried out from<br />
the NER funds <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Textiles</strong><br />

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

2. Quality Processing <strong>of</strong> Wool and<br />
Woollen Scheme<br />
The unorganized Woollen Sector suffers<br />
from inadequate processing facilities.<br />
The pre loom & post loom facilities<br />
are outdated. The sector uses crude<br />
form <strong>of</strong> carding, which results in low<br />
product<strong>iv</strong>ity, besides affecting the health<br />
<strong>of</strong> workers. The spinning technology is<br />
primit<strong>iv</strong>e, which is urgently required to be<br />
upgraded through improved equipments/<br />
machineries. The Scheme provides a<br />
comprehens<strong>iv</strong>e service package from<br />
deburring to carding & spinning stage. The<br />
setting up <strong>of</strong> modern plants will increase<br />
wool-processing capacity, will provide<br />
value addition to Indian wool, will create<br />
more employment and will augments<br />
income to personnel engaged in these<br />
decentralized act<strong>iv</strong>ities.<br />

CHAPTER IX<br />
DECENTRALISED POWERLOOM SECTOR<br />
The Union Minister for Commerce & Industry and <strong>Textiles</strong>, Shri Anand Sharma briefing the media after<br />
meeting with Power loom Association, in Mumbai on June 02, 2012. The Textile Commissioner, Shri<br />
A.B. Joshi and the Joint Secretary, <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Textiles</strong>, Smt. Sunaina Tomar are also seen.<br />
The decentralised powerloom sector is<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the most important segments<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Textile Industry in terms <strong>of</strong> fabric<br />
production and employment generation.<br />
It provides employment to 57.44 Lakh<br />
persons and contributes 62 percent to<br />
total cloth production in the Country. 60%<br />
<strong>of</strong> the fabrics produced in the powerloom<br />
sector is <strong>of</strong> man-made. More than 60%<br />
<strong>of</strong> fabric meant for export is also sourced<br />
from powerloom sector. The readymade<br />
garments and home textile sectors are<br />
heavily dependent on the powerloom sector<br />
to meet their fabric requirement.<br />
There are approximately 5.24 Lakh<br />
Powerloom Units with 23.24 Lakh<br />
Powerlooms as on 30.09.2012. The<br />
technology level <strong>of</strong> this sector varies from<br />
obsolete plain loom to high tech shuttleless<br />
looms. There are approximately<br />
1,05,000 shuttleless looms in this sector.<br />
It is estimated that more than 75% <strong>of</strong> the<br />
87<br />
shuttle looms are obsolete and outdated<br />
with a vintage <strong>of</strong> more than 15 years and<br />
have virtually no process or quality control<br />
devices / attachments. However, there<br />
has been significant upgradation in the<br />
technology level <strong>of</strong> the powerloom sector<br />
during the last 5-6 years.<br />
Growth in the Powerloom<br />
Sector<br />
The year-wise growth in the number <strong>of</strong><br />
looms installed is g<strong>iv</strong>en at table 9.1<br />

announced the Integrated Scheme for<br />
Powerloom Sector Development during<br />
2007 – 08. The scheme has got the<br />
following components :-<br />
a) Marketing Development programme<br />
for Powerloom Sector<br />
b) Exposure visit <strong>of</strong> Powerloom Weavers<br />
to other Clusters<br />
c) Survey <strong>of</strong> the Powerloom Sector<br />
d) Powerloom Cluster Development<br />
e) Development and Upgradation <strong>of</strong><br />
skills (HRD)<br />
(a) Marketing Development programme<br />
for Powerloom Sector<br />
Marketing Development programme<br />
has a vital role in powerloom sector.<br />
Therefore, an act<strong>iv</strong>ity for promotion<br />
and marketing <strong>of</strong> powerloom products<br />
through different mechanism such as<br />
organization <strong>of</strong> exhibitions and buyer<br />
seller meets, Seminar / Workshops,<br />
publicity & awareness programmes etc<br />
are being implemented in association<br />
with Powerloom Development & Export<br />
Promotion Council (PDEXCIL) and other<br />
agencies. During 11 th Plan (2007-08 to<br />
Sept.2012), total 60 BSM have been<br />
conducted and Govt. has released the<br />
fund <strong>of</strong> Rs.3.99 Crore.<br />
(b) Exposure visit by powerloom<br />
weavers to other clusters :<br />
The powerloom weavers from the<br />
clusters <strong>of</strong> low level technology are not<br />
exposed to other area <strong>of</strong> manufacturing<br />
to produce d<strong>iv</strong>ersifying textile products<br />
or value added fabrics due to limited<br />
knowledge etc.<br />
With a view to overcome such<br />
deficiency, the powerloom weavers in<br />
different clusters, are being taken to<br />
other developed clusters to become<br />
90<br />
ministry <strong>of</strong> textiles<br />
familiar with the working upgraded<br />
skills, the products manufactured and<br />
the marketing techniques adopted in<br />
those clusters. The concerned Regional<br />
Offices assist the powerloom weavers<br />
during the exposure visits and facilitate<br />
effect<strong>iv</strong>e and meaningful interaction.<br />
The financial assistance is also being<br />
provided by the Government <strong>of</strong> India<br />
to meet the expenditure arising out <strong>of</strong><br />
these visits. During 11 th Plan(2007-08<br />
to Sept.2012), total 2770 workers visited<br />
the developed powerloom cluster and<br />
Govt. has paid the fund <strong>of</strong> Rs.0.63 Crore<br />
for travelling and incidental expenditure<br />
to workers.<br />
(c) Powerloom Cluster Development<br />
Towards the developments <strong>of</strong> different<br />
powerloom clusters identified, 30 CDOs<br />
were g<strong>iv</strong>en training in cluster development<br />
by the EDI, Ahmedabad during 2007<br />
– 08 involving the total expenditure<br />
<strong>of</strong> Rs.15.97 lakh and during the year<br />
2008 - 09, Rs.4.80 lakh has been spent<br />
for refresher training <strong>of</strong> Officers from<br />
Regional Offices & Headquarters. The<br />
following 8 clusters have been selected<br />
for development and CDO have been<br />
posted in the respect<strong>iv</strong>e cluster and<br />
diagnostic study have been completed<br />
by the CDO.<br />

HANDLOOM INDUSTRY<br />
The Chief Minister <strong>of</strong> Delhi, Smt. Sheila Dikshit lighting the lamp to inaugurate the Sarang –<br />
Exclus<strong>iv</strong>e Peacock Inspired Collection, in New Delhi on July 07, 2012. The Secretary, <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Textiles</strong>, Smt. Kiran Dhingra is also seen<br />
Handloom weaving is one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
largest economic act<strong>iv</strong>ity after<br />
agriculture providing direct and<br />
indirect employment to more than 43<br />
lakh weavers and allied workers. This<br />
sector contributes nearby 15% <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cloth production in the country and also<br />
contributes to the export earning <strong>of</strong> the<br />
country. 95% <strong>of</strong> the world’s hand woven<br />
fabric comes from India.<br />
The handloom sector has a unique place<br />
in our economy. It has been sustained by<br />
transferring skills from one generation to<br />
another. The strength <strong>of</strong> the sector lies in<br />
its uniqueness, flexibility <strong>of</strong> production,<br />
openness to innovations, adaptability to<br />
the supplier’s requirement and the wealth<br />
<strong>of</strong> its tradition.<br />
The adoption <strong>of</strong> modern techniques and<br />
economic liberalization, however, have<br />
95<br />
made serious inroads into the handloom<br />
sector. Competition from powerloom and<br />
mill sector, availability <strong>of</strong> cheaper imported<br />
fabrics, changing consumer preferences<br />
and alternat<strong>iv</strong>e employment opportunities<br />
have threatened the vibrancy <strong>of</strong> handloom<br />
sector.<br />
The Government <strong>of</strong> India, since<br />
independence, has been following a<br />
policy <strong>of</strong> promoting and encouraging<br />
the handloom sector through a number<br />
<strong>of</strong> programmes and schemes. Due to<br />
various policy initiat<strong>iv</strong>es and scheme<br />
interventions like cluster approach,<br />
aggress<strong>iv</strong>e marketing initiat<strong>iv</strong>e and social<br />
welfare measures, the handloom sector<br />
has shown posit<strong>iv</strong>e growth and the income<br />
level <strong>of</strong> weavers has improved. The<br />
handloom fabric production has been very<br />
impress<strong>iv</strong>e and growth has been at the<br />
rate <strong>of</strong> 6% to 7% in the beginning <strong>of</strong> the 11 th<br />

Plan. The subsequent economic downturn<br />
has affected all the sectors in India and<br />
handloom sector was no exception. The<br />
production had declined nominally in<br />
2008-09. Now, there is a posit<strong>iv</strong>e sign and<br />
production has shown upward growth.<br />
The export <strong>of</strong> handloom products has also<br />
shown a posit<strong>iv</strong>e trend.<br />
In the cluster approach, efforts were made<br />
to cover groups <strong>of</strong> 100 to 25000 weavers<br />
through different cluster sizes for their<br />
integrated and holistic development. The<br />
yarn supply under Mill Gate Price Scheme<br />
has increased three fold. Aggress<strong>iv</strong>e<br />
marketing initiat<strong>iv</strong>e through marketing<br />
events (600-700 events per year) has<br />
helped weavers and their cooperat<strong>iv</strong>e<br />
societies to understand the market trend<br />
and consumer choice, besides selling<br />
products directly to the customers. For<br />
a focused attention on the sector, the<br />
<strong>Ministry</strong> has started celebrating ‘Handloom<br />
week’ every year.<br />
Year<br />

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

The Office <strong>of</strong> the Development<br />
Commissioner for Handlooms has been<br />
implementing six schemes which are –<br />
(i) Integrated Handloom Development<br />
Scheme; (ii) Handloom Weavers<br />
Comprehens<strong>iv</strong>e Welfare Scheme; (iii)<br />
Marketing & Export Promotion Scheme;<br />
(<strong>iv</strong>) Mill Gate Price Scheme; (v) D<strong>iv</strong>ersified<br />
Handloom Development Scheme, and<br />
(vi) ‘Rev<strong>iv</strong>al, Reform and Restructuring<br />
Package for Handloom Sector’. The<br />
scheme-wise progress is detailed below:-<br />
1 INTEGRATED HANDLOOMS<br />
DEVELOPMENT SCHEME.<br />
Integrated Handlooms Development<br />
Scheme (IHDS) was introduced in 2007-<br />
08 for its implementation in XI F<strong>iv</strong>e Year
annual report 2012-13<br />
Plan as a centrally sponsored plan scheme<br />
for the development <strong>of</strong> handlooms and<br />
welfare <strong>of</strong> handlooms weavers. The<br />
scheme aims to focus on formation <strong>of</strong><br />
weavers group as a visible entity, develop<br />
the handlooms weavers groups to become<br />
self-sustainable, inclus<strong>iv</strong>e approach to<br />
cover weavers both within and outside<br />
the cooperat<strong>iv</strong>e fold, skill up-gradation <strong>of</strong><br />
handlooms weavers/workers to produce<br />
d<strong>iv</strong>ersified products with improved<br />
quality to meet the market requirements,<br />
provide suitable workplace to weavers to<br />
enable them to produce quality products<br />
with improved product<strong>iv</strong>ity etc. Under<br />
the scheme, each cluster having about<br />
300 - 500 looms have been taken up for<br />
development in a time frame <strong>of</strong> 3 years<br />
at an upper cost <strong>of</strong> Rs.60.00 lakh per<br />
cluster. Handloom weavers, who are not<br />
covered by the clusters, are supported<br />
through a ‘Group Approach”, which will be<br />
implemented in a project mode. A Group,<br />
consisting <strong>of</strong> 10 weavers or more, is<br />
provided financial assistance for (i) basic<br />
inputs; (ii) training in weaving, dyeing,<br />
designing and managerial disciplines;<br />
and (iii) construction <strong>of</strong> work-sheds.<br />
During the year 2011-12, there was a<br />
budgetary provision <strong>of</strong> Rs.164.70 crore,<br />
which was revised to Rs.236.50 crore,<br />
a sum <strong>of</strong> Rs.219.49 crore was released<br />
to various State Governments/UTs and<br />
other organizations. 69 new clusters<br />
were sanctioned during 2011-12. A sum<br />
<strong>of</strong> Rs.91.36 crore was released, which<br />
includes the 2 nd & 3 rd installment <strong>of</strong><br />
earlier sanctioned projects. In addition,<br />
460 Group Approach Projects were also<br />
sanctioned and a sum <strong>of</strong> Rs.20.02 crore<br />
was released, which includes the earlier<br />
sanctioned projects. Under Marketing<br />
Incent<strong>iv</strong>e Component <strong>of</strong> IHDS, a sum <strong>of</strong><br />
Rs.51.05 crore was released to various<br />
State Governments/UTs .<br />
During the year 2012-13, there is a<br />
budgetary provision <strong>of</strong> Rs.195.00 crore<br />
97<br />
(Rs.170.00 crore for general category<br />
States and Rs.25.00 crore for NER States).<br />
Out <strong>of</strong> Rs.195.00 crore, a sum <strong>of</strong> Rs.52.23<br />
crore has been sanctioned to various State<br />
Governments/UTs and other organization<br />
(upto November, 2012). During 2012-<br />
13, focus is on settlement <strong>of</strong> committed<br />
liabilities <strong>of</strong> the Clusters/Group Approach<br />
Projects and Marketing Incent<strong>iv</strong>e. A sum<br />
<strong>of</strong> Rs.25.42 crore was released to various<br />
State Governments/UTs under Marketing<br />
Incent<strong>iv</strong>e component <strong>of</strong> IHDS.<br />
Institutional Credit for Handloom Sector<br />
Cabinet Committee <strong>of</strong> Economic Affairs<br />
(CCEA) on 18 th December, 2012,<br />
approved a new component “Institutional<br />
Credit for Handloom Sector” by modifying<br />
the existing plan scheme <strong>of</strong> Integrated<br />
Handlooms development Scheme, which<br />
has following sub-components:<br />
i) Margin money assistance @<br />
Rs.4200/- per weaver to ind<strong>iv</strong>idual<br />
weavers, their self help groups<br />
and joint liability groups (but not to<br />
cooperat<strong>iv</strong>e societies and producer<br />
companies) by the GoI so as to raise<br />
borrowings from the Banks/Financial<br />
Institutions.<br />
ii)<br />
Interest subsidy <strong>of</strong> 3% per annum<br />
for 3 years so that weavers can get<br />
loan at subsidized rate. No interest<br />
subsidy would be provided from the<br />
date on which a loan becomes a nonperforming<br />
asset (NPA) within this<br />
period <strong>of</strong> 3 years, as a disincent<strong>iv</strong>e<br />
for non-payment.<br />
iii) Credit guarantee: The loans<br />
extended by the Banks/financial<br />
institutions to the handloom weavers,<br />
their SHGs/JLGs and weavers<br />
cooperat<strong>iv</strong>e societies will be<br />
guaranteed by the Credit Guarantee<br />
Fund Trust for Medium & Small<br />
Enterprises (CGTMSE) to the tune<br />
<strong>of</strong> 85% <strong>of</strong> the outstanding. For this<br />
