The Technology in the area of sericulture has developed tremendously. Even so, the Government of India has had to improve the innovative activates in the development of sericulture industry. After the World War II, government of India has concentrated more upon the development of the silk industry the important of silk. During 1945, a silk development directorate was set up and a silk panel was also established to extend suggestion for the development of sericulture industry in India. This has resulted in the recommendation by the government for the establishment of the Central Silk Board. Central silk board is comes under Ministry of Textile, Indian government. The minister of textile will be the appellate authority of the Central silk board. Mr. Anand Sharma the present mister of textile is the head of the Central silk board. The board committee consists of 39 members elected by the parliament of India. The chair person and vice chair person are elected by Central government. Further the board consists of representative of LokSabha andRajyaSabha, nominees of the central and the state governments and representative from among farmers, reelers, trade and industry.

2. INDUSTRY PROFILE 2.1 Origin of the Silk:

Although the history of silk is shrouded in mystery, some historians say that silk originated in China about 10,000 years ago. Empress Siling of China accidentally discovered it. Some 5000 years ago sitting under mulberry tree in her on her palace garden when a cocoon fell in cup of tea & a strong white thread unraveled itself. By the 14th century BC, the production of silk gradually developed into an industry in china. In phase it became the principle elements of the Chinese economy. Silk was used for musical instrument, fishing lines, bow strings and even rag paper, the worlds first luxury paper. For than 2000 years, the Chinas kept the secret of silk themselves. It was one of the most zealously guarded secrets in history. Anyone found guilty of smuggling Silkworm eggs, cocoon, are mulberry seeds was put to death. Silk became the cloth of emperors and royalty and the great sources of wealth. Common people were prohibited to wearing silk. Even the merchants trading silk were not allowed to wear the exclusive fabric. The Chinese used silk, in many ways, civil servants paid in quantities of silks, and it was a way for the rules to reward there subject, silk was also used in currency in demotic as well as foreign trade. Chinese traders exchanged their silk in return for spices and jewels bought in India, gradually people from different sectors of society began wearing tunics of silk and silk came in to more general use.

The secret of silk was let outer of the bag in 200 BC. When large number of people migrated from china and settled in Korea and carried with them the secret of silk production. From then on the secret of silk slowly traveled throughout Asia, it took about 500 years for the knowledge of silk production to reach India, but it ones it did, and India soon started trading silk with Persians. The World Raw Silk production (Mulberry and Vanya) is about 126995MT (2009). China and India are the leading producers of silk. China leads the world with silk production of 104000 MT or 81.89% of the produce. It is this position, as one of only two major silk producers in the world, and from its employment potential, that sericulture and silk derive their importance in the Indian textile map. 2.1 World Raw Silk Productions (Metric tons) Country Total Raw Silk Production 2007 China India Japan Brazil Korea Republic Uzbekistan Thailand Vietnam Others Total 108420 18320 105 1220 150 950 760 750 500 131175 2008 98620 18370 95 1177 135 865 1100 680 350 121392 2009 104000 19690 90 811 135 750 665 550 304 126995

2.2 SILK INDUSTRY IN INDIA

India, agriculture and agro-based industries play a vital role in the improvement of rural economy. The limited availability of land, the limited cash returns, and agriculture being confined to one or two seasons in the year, have made villages to look for supporting rural industries, such as sericulture. Agriculture and sericulture are adopted simultaneously by the agriculturists in regions where the ecological conditions are favorable. In India, over three million people are employed in various fields of sericulture. It is a cottage industry and provides ample work for the womenfolk in the rural areas in rearing silk worms, while the male members work in the fields. Recently the enforcing of new ideas by research institutions both in mulberry cultivation and silk-worm-handling among sericulturists, the industry is now practiced as a main profession and as a major cash crop, of the country. A notable feature of Indian sericulture is that is that the activity is basically a family enterprise in a predominantly rural setting, generating 0.16 person year of employment for every 1.0 kilograms of raw silk produced and used on handlooms. Effort of the Government of India in the post independence period paved the way for its resurgence its growth has been rapid, especially during the last two decade. Silk has been intermingled with the life and culture of the Indians. Though India is producing all the varieties of silk i.e., Dress Materials, Scarves/Stoles, Readymade Garments, etc., the silk saris are unique. The sari is almost synonymous with the word silk. It is the traditional costume of Indian women since time immemorial. There are innumerable references in Indian literature about this draped garment and the style of wearing differs from time to time, region to region and people to people. The silk saris of India are among
Page 7
CENTRAL SILK BOARD
the living examples of the excellent craftsmanship of the weavers of the country. The Artistic and Aesthetic sense of Indian weavers is not content with striking colors they choose for the fabrics, but lies in their mastery over the creation of floral designs, beautiful textures, fine geometry and the durability of such work. The weaver not only weaves with yarn but with intense feeling and emotion. In India, there are number of silk weaving centers spread all over the country, known for their distinct and typical style and products. For Indians, particularly ladies, silk is lifeline-the elixir. Silk is always woven interwoven with way of life and culture of a region. Craftsmen all over the Indian sub-continent tried to master the weaving of saris as exclusive as one can think of, putting motif designs, colors, pattern and versatility in them. No two saris can be of same designs left to the choice of weaver, thus there is innumerable pattern or diversity. Over the years, specific centers sprung and developed to promote a particular of design\weaving and they became distinct. Globally however sericulture is being phased out in several developed countries such as Japan and Korea due to economic growth and urbanization. European countries like France, Italy and Spain that is used to have a verily large sericulture industry, are no longer engaged in mulberry planting and silkworm rearing a similar transformation is being observed with regard to China too in the recent years, in this contexts, India has the comparative advantage and the potential to develop into a keep player in the global market place for silk. The industry is presently gearing itself to meet the demand for good quality silk for the power tom sector. Indian silk industry has grown manifold since the countrys independence. Together with increasing production, productivity has also improved considerably.

CENTRAL SILK BOARD
India has the unique distinction of being the only country producing all the five known Commercial verities of silk i.e. Mulberry, Tropical Tasar, Oak tasar, Eri and Muga. India is the second producer of silk with annual production of raw silk around 18000-20000 MT, accounting for about 14% of total world raw silk production, next to China ,also the largest consumer of silk in the world. It has a strong tradition and culture bound domestic market of silk. It is the only producer of muga, the golden yellow silk in the world. Sericulture industry has been expanding very fast from last more than 15 years. Indias raw silk production is 19690 MT (2009-10), 82.89% (16322 M.T.) of it is mulberry and 17.11% (3368 M.T.) Vanya silks. The area reported by States as cumulatively planted under mulberry is 1.84 lakh hectares (200910); and the production of mulberry cocoons is 131661 tonnes. 2.3 REASON FOR SILK INDUSTRY TO BE LAUNCHED IN INDIA High employment potential Provides vibrancy to village economies Low gestation, and high returns Women friendly occupation Ideal programme for weaker sections of the society Eco-friendly activity Satisfies equity concerns Foreign exchange earning commodity.

2.4 FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

The technology of the industry is still developing; the present existing technology has the ability of extracting just 20-24% of the value of one cocoon. This shows it has a huge scope for improvement of the technology. The production level of vanya silks is less and it has greater scope for commercial increase in production. The study conducted by CSB shows that, the silk industry has a great scope for commercialisation.

4. PRODUCT PROFILE
SILK Man has always inquisitive for silk products. SILK- the queen of textiles spells luxury, elegance, class and comfort. Mankind has always loved this shimmering fiber of unparalleled grandeur from the moment Chinese Empress Shilling Ti discovered it in her tea cup. It withstood many a daunting challenges from other natural and artificial fibers and yet, remained the undisputed Queen of textiles since centuries. Exquisite qualities like the natural sheen, inherent affinity for dyes and vibrant colors, high absorbance, light weight, resilience and excellent drape etc, have made silk, the irresistible and inevitable companion of the eve, all over the world. Chemically speaking, silk is made of proteins secreted in the fluid state by a caterpillar, popularly known as Silk Worm. These silkworms feed on the selected food plants and spin cocoons as a Protective Shell to perpetuate the life. Silkworm has four stages in its life cycle viz., Egg, Caterpillar, Pupa and Moth. Man interferes this life cycle at the cocoon stage to obtain the silk, a continuous filament of commercial importance, used in weaving of the dream fabric. Why Silk? Silk is a high value but low volume product accounting for only 0.2% of the worlds total textile production. Silk production is regarded as an important tool for economic development of a country as it is a labour intensive and high income generating industry that churns out value added product of economic importance. The developing countries relay on it for employment generation, especially in rural sector and also as a means to earn the foreign exchange.

CENTRAL SILK BOARD
Silk has wide range of product diversification. The silk was used only for the purpose of dress materials previously. The smoothness, nature of silk and the high protein content of the silk has bought many product diversifications. All five major types of silk viz., Mulberry, Tasar, Oak tasar, Muga, Erihave obtained from different species of silkworms, which in turn feed on a number of food plants. Mulberry: The bulk of the commercial silk produced in the world comes from this variety and often silk generally refers to mulberry silk. Mulberry silk comes from the silkworm, Bombyxmori that solely feeds on the leaves of mulberry plant. These silkworms are completely domesticated and reared indoors. In India, the major mulberry silk producing states are Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Jammu and Kashmir which together accounts for 92% of country total mulberry raw silk production.

Tasar Tasar is copperish color, coarse silk mainly used for furnishings and interiors. It is less lustrous than mulberry silk, but has its own feel and appeal. The silkworm, Antheraeamylitta that mainly thrive on the food plants Asan and Arjun generate Tasar silk is mainly produced in the states of Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Orissa, besides Maharashtra, west Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. Tasar culture is the main stay for much community in India. Oak Tasar It is a finer variety of tasar generated by the silkworm, Antheraeaproyeli. in India which feed on natural food plants of Oak found in abundance in the subHimalayan belt of India covering the states of Manipur, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam.
4.2 Tasar silk worm

CENTRAL SILK BOARD
Muga: This golden yellow color silk is prerogative of India and the pride of Assam state. It is obtained from semi-domesticated multivoltine silkworm, Antheraeaassamensis. These silkworms feed on the aromatic leaves of Som and Soalu plants and reared on trees similar to that of Tasar. Muga culture is specific to the state of Assam and an integral part of the tradition and culture of that state. The Muga silk and high value product is used in product like saris, chadars etc.
4.3 Muga silk worm Eri: Known as Endi or Errandi.It is ranked non-mulbery silk production. Eri silk production states are Assam and parts of North-Eastern states. Eri-culture is a household activity practiced mainly for protein rich pupae, a delicacy for the tribal.

Achievements of Central Silk Board

During 2009-10, 67 Research projects are continued and 30 new Research projects were initiated and total 50 research projects were concluded. MULBERRY Five new genotypes were evaluated under Final Yield Evaluation (FYE), two genotypes out-yielded the check variety by 16-21% and 2.94 22.22% under optimal and sub-optimal conditions of irrigation respectively. Eleven HVA1 lines of transgenic mulberry plants were maintained under greenhouse conditions and preliminary data on morpho-biochemical parameters were recorded. Attempts were made to develop drought tolerant genotypes by utilizing leaf explants of V-1, S-34 and S-36 for Agrobacterium mediated transformation studies to introduce SHN (wax genes) and DREB (Dehydration related element binding) genes. Two new mulberry varieties viz., M. multicaulis x S-13 and S-30 x Acc.119 were submitted for All India Coordinated Experimental trials for Mulberry [AICEM] for Authorization trials. Forty two new progenies were identified as prospective triploids and out of this 15 genotypes were found triploids in west Bengal Out of 11 mulberry genotypes subjected for evaluation of productivity and quality, 3 (SR-68, SR-75 and SR-62) were found to have 20% more leaf yield than the S-1635 (check).

Sixteen mulberry collections were added to the field gene bank raising the number of accessions to 1136 under ex-situ conservation at germplasm resource centre.
Suitable methods for intercropping of medicinal and aromatic plants with mulberry were evolved.
Some new mulberry genotypes having more leaf yield suitable for cultivation in user land in Uttar Pradesh have been screened.
11 HVA-1 lines of transgenic mulberry plants are subjected for hardening before taking up multiplication programme.
Framework linkage maps of parental lines of root trait segregating population were constructed.
IPM for control of white fly has been developed. Suitable control measureswere developed fora new mealy bug species commonly known as papaya mealy bug (Paracoccusmarginatus) which effectively reduced pest infestation by 90%.
SILKWORM Potential Bivoltine silkworm hybrids were identified to rear through out the year. Silkworm hybrids, viz., CSR50 x CSR51 and (CSR50xCSR52) x (CSR50 x CSR51) were identified for race authorization test. CSR50 X CSR51 with productive merit (>60 kgs/100 dfls) are tolerant to diseases. Some potential hybrids viz., CSR46 x CSR47 (thermo tolerant), Gen3 x Gen2 (amylase introgressed), SLD4 x SLD8 (Shorter larval duration), PM x CSR2 (SL) (Multi x Bivoltine hybrid) were also authorized. Multi x Bivoltine hybrids viz.,ND7 x CSR2 (Jayalakshmi) Superior to ruling hybrid PM x CSR2 in terms of productivity in cocoon/silk yield with one

7. SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a venture.
7.1STRENGTHS
As a government organization it has more decision power in regulating Seri-culture industry. The funds allocation from union government is high hence the organization is financially sound. There is no outside competitor residing in India for research and development of sericulture. Major technological breakthroughs in mulberry varieties, silkworm races and processing equipments. Ability to respond quickly to crises situations during market fluctuation, prices crashes implementing price support
mechanism, filing Anti Dumping Petitions, controlling disease outbreaks etc. Ability and infrastructure for Capacity building through
appropriate training initiatives for the development of trained manpower for tribal farmers, reelers, departmental officials, NGOs, Bankers etc. ISO 9001-2000 certified Textile Testing Labs, Seed Production Centres and Training Initiatives. Large pool of scientific talent and trained Man-power for R&D.
Page 88
CENTRAL SILK BOARD
Effective reach for supporting tribal, farmers and reelers since CSBs Extension centres and Offices are located in the nerve centres of silk activities throughout the country.
7.2 WEAKNESSES:
Ageing Employees pool with an average age of 46 yrs. as there has been no fresh recruitment since 1996. Lack of promotional avenues for different cadres resulting in low motivational levels. Centralized power of decision making. The stringent State laws on sericulture are a serious impediment to bring effective reforms in the silk sector. Lack of proper market mechanism to support farmers/reelers from volatility of prices, market fluctuations and planned production processes. Lack of ability to modernize and upgrade the industry since this requires huge funds. The reeling sector still uses traditional and old technology, the handlooms /power looms are totally outdated and the processing machinery is crude. Inability of the State Governments to effectively transfer the post cocoon technologies to the field through their own extension centres, since CSB has got limited Extension centres in comparison to State Agencies.
Page 89
CENTRAL SILK BOARD
7.3 OPPORTUNITIES
Stagnant/Shrinking global raw silk production opens up new opportunities for CSB to put in place a plan to expand sericulture activities in India in order to meet the requirement of both domestic & international markets. There is tremendous scope for product diversification & byproduct utilization which needs to be tapped. Though lot of thrust has been given for Vanya silks there is tremendous untapped potential due to its vast available natural resources, this offers abundant opportunities to expand the sector Development of non mulberry silks gives tremendous scope for poverty alleviation, employment generation in the tribal belts & the north-east. Utilization of degraded forest and wastelands for growing nonmulberry host trees / plants for increased production of Vanya Silks and consequently, more income to the marginalized. India being largest silk consumer, it shows its unmet scope of silk industry. Sericulture is a highly profitable sector in commercial crops compared to other commercial crops. The world silk fabric production is 1.6% of its total fabrics and the demand for silk fabrics and silk products is also high. Economically weaker section people can employ sericulture with less investment also.
Page 90
CENTRAL SILK BOARD
7.4 THREATS
In the recent liberalized trade scenario, large scale imports of raw silk as well as silk fabric both through legal and illegal channels especially from China have affected Indian silk industry. The domestic raw silk prices are largely dictated by the international silk prices. In the event of downward price fluctuations there is a tendency for the farmer to switchover to other lucrative agricultural & horticultural crops seriously affecting the domestic raw silk production This sector like agriculture is largely dependent on the rainfall and soil conditions. Failure of rains has led to uprooting of thousands of acres of mulberry gardens. There is competition from man-made fibers like nylon, polyester etc. This requires serious attention.

8. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS
8.1 FINDINGS
The departmental functioning is on the lines of proper co-ordination and managerial decision-making. Inter departmental communication is efficientand it is highly hierarchical. Procedures related to decision making is time consuming. Although organization is good as for training and development is concern, it has to improve much more in this direction. It lacks effective marketing touch of its output (research findings& invention). Excellent employee care is present in the organisation in terms of work flexibility, leaves and additional perks. Well educated ambience in the organisation, with excellent hospitality and highly co-operative staff.
Page 92
CENTRAL SILK BOARD
8.2 SUGGESTIONS
In order to improve certain aspects, the following suggestions are recommended In order to improve the security of the organization, technologies like smart cards for employees, biometric attendance can be implemented. It is suggested to diversify its research activities as financial resources are ample. The combined technology development and carrying researches with other countries can be carried out. Technology export and imports from other countries are not present; hence technology import and export can be done for the improvement of silk industry. A contractual tie ups should be made with the silk producing states to implement its research findings & innovations in the clusters /region of each state for enhancement of production and productivity. Reach the uncovered and underdeveloped territories of the country through various publications and effective programmes and demonstration via press and folk-media to create awareness in the people about is research findings & invention. Focus on increasing the percentage earning of silk exports of India. Cost benefits ratio is comparatively higher in sericulture compared to other cash crop and it will be more, if developmental plan/schemes implemented in full proof.

CENTRAL SILK BOARD
8.3 CONCLUSION
Central Silk Board is completely a Non Profit Organization which is working fully for enhancement of production, productivity, quality and economic development of the stake holders. Silk is no longer a fibre of making fabrics it has gone beyond that, vizmedicine, cosmetics, sandals, carpets etc. In these industry and CSB can motivate for the scope and improvement of production of value aided allied silk products. The industry needs the output of this organisation. When the knowledge output of the Central Silk Board is used in the development of Seri-culture industry in India, then we can have profitable foreign exchange earnings to our economy. In this era of liberalisation and era of globalisation, it is great to see a government organisation working with enthusiasm for the development of the industry. In simple words, Central Silk Board is committed towards production of quality silkworm seeds & enhances the production of International Standard Quality silk in India. Finally to say, development is for the sake of common man, that takes a country to the great heights.
This organization study has enhanced my knowledge. I understood the functioning of various departments and importance of communication skills to have a good rapport with management.
