In its study, ASSOCHAM has also highlighted that inconsistency in quality of domestically available silk makes it difficult for use in powerlooms thereby affectingthe weaving process which results in dependence on imported raw material. Besides, silk also faces threat from the competition that seems to be emerging from synthetic fibers such as polyester, it added. “A focused and planned silk promotion campaign could help get back the interest of the consumers.”

With a view to improve silk production in India, the ASSOCHAM has suggested that state governments to promote tie-up of weaver cluster with raw silk production units for establishing close linkage between forward and backward sub-systems resulting in greater efficiency, more so as sericulture and silk industry is highly scattered and unorganized.

Besides, the state governments may also facilitate establishment of weaver centers to empower and enlighten the producers with latest information on research and development, technological advances, new designs to impart technical skills related to weaving techniques and conducting feasibility studies to identify new potential mulberry centers may also help to boost production and further improve both productivity and product quality.

There is a need to undertake wide-scale educative initiatives to disburse the information amid weaving community as they are mostly unaware of welfare schemes provided to them by the State and Central Governments, ASSOCHAM has further suggested.
