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.

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 />

CHAPTER III<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Chennai, Agra, Bhubaneshwar and<br />

Kolkata.<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

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 />

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 />

ministry <strong>of</strong> textiles<br />

Expos have already been conducted<br />

one each at Srinagar, Kochin, Kolkata,<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 />

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 />

wool in hilly areas <strong>of</strong> country, publishing<br />

quarterly newsmagazine and Raw Wool<br />

Price Bulletin, regularly.<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 />

CHAPTER X<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 />

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 />

(<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 />

(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 />

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 />
