DURING XI FIVE YEAR PLAN

The Central Silk Board, under Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India being the
premier organization, has introduced the following Post Cocoon Sector
Components under Catalytic Development Programme for development of silk
Industry in Country keeping in view the importance of production of high-grade
Bi-Voltine Raw Silk and Vanya silk in bulk quantity to reduce imports, and
creating more employment in rural/semi-urban areas through sericulture
practices and silk Industries.
The various Post-cocoon components proposed to be implemented are in the
form of a package covering major three areas viz., Silk Reeling / Spinning, Silk
Weaving and Silk Wet Processing.
A. Silk Reeling and Spinning Sector:
Reeling forms a vital link in converting the agricultural produce viz. Cocoons into
an industrial product - the yarn. Reeling involves a series of intricate process
converting the cocoons into raw silk. The reeling sector in India is cottage based
and highly decentralized, employing a variety of reeling devices viz., Charka,
cottage basin, domestic basin and multi-end reeling machinery. The Package
consists of the following components.
Support for establishment of Certified Multi-end Reeling Machines:
The CSTRI has developed a Multi-end reeling machinery package for production
of international grade raw silk from multi-Bi-Voltine and Bi-Voltine cocoons
available in the country to assist the existing reelers and also new entrepreneurs
to set up the Multi-end reeling machinery package. The component envisages
support for setting up of only 10-Basins and 20-Basins units.
The total project cost for a 10-Basin Multi-end package works out to around
Rs.27.00 lakhs, of which the equipments cost is Rs.10.00 lakhs. The total subsidy
is Rs.7.50 lakhs, which is 28% of the project cost in general States and Rs.9.00
lakhs (33%) in special status States. Similarly, for 20-Basin package, the project

Support for establishment of Improved Cottage Basin Reeling Units:

The reeling devices available in most of the silk clusters are primitive and
outdated resulting very poor quality of raw silk. The reeling takes place in
extremely unhygienic conditions creating environmental pollutions and health
hazards. The Cottage basin system of reeling is an improved technology over
Charka and provides better quality silk compared to Charka. But, due to nonavailable of required equipments / machineries in pre-reeling operations and nonavailability required gadgets, production of raw silk has not been possible.
Since a sizeable quantity of raw silk being produced on Cottage basin, CSTRI/
CSB has modified the Cottage basin reeling technology for achieving better
quality silk and improving working conditions. The reelers will be able to realize
better prices for the raw silk produced. The total project cost for Cottage Basin
unit works out to around Rs.11.00 lakhs, of which the equipments cost is Rs.2.50
lakhs. The total subsidy is Rs.1.88 lakhs which is 17% of the project cost in
general States and Rs.2.25 lakhs (20%) in special status States. The unit cost and

Support for existing Charka Reeling Units to dissuade child labour

(Motorised Charkas):
Charka reeling device is a crude contrivance for producing silk with minimum
mechanization and practically no gadgets for quality control. Generally in Charka
sector, inferior quality cocoons are used to produce inferior quality silk which has
specified end uses, mainly for heavy sorts. In these units, child labour is engaged
as turners for the production of silk. Motorizing these Charkas can help in
discouraging child labor, since the turning of the Charka will be electrically
operated. In order to discourage child labour and improve the working conditions
of Charka units, this component envisages support for converting the existing
Charka units to motor-operated units instead of hand operation. The support is for
4 ends Motorized Charka with required accessories per unit. The unit cost and

Support for setting up of Certified Dupion Silk Reeling Units:

In the process of silk reeling, the cocoons are sorted out (defective cocoons) and
these cocoons can be more remuneratively utilized for producing Dupion raw silk.
The CSTRI has evolved a technology i.e., Motorized Dupion Silk reeling machine
and technology for production of international grade Dupion silk, by using sorted
out defective cocoons (i.e., double, flimsy, Uzi affected, urinated, thin-end and
melted cocoons).
The technology also discourages the use of child labor, provides better working
condition and enhances the returns from the by-product. The component aims at
replacing the current Dupion Charkas. The total project cost for Dupion reeling
package works out to around Rs.10.00 lakhs, of which the equipments cost is
Rs.2.00 lakhs. The total subsidy is Rs.1.50 lakhs which is 15% of the project cost

in general States and Rs.1.80 lakhs (18%) in special status States. The unit cost

Support for Hot Air Driers- Electrical / Multifuel / Ushnakoti for Reeling
Units:
During the favorable seasons, cocoons are harvested and these harvested
cocoons are to be dried & stored for a longer period. In most of the nontraditional States proper cocoon drying facility is not available and most of the
reelers are practicing sun drying / steam stifling, which is not advisable as it
deteriorates the quality of the cocoons and the cocoons are prone to fungus
attack. To overcome these problems, use of Ushnakoti / Hot Air Dryers are
supported, which would ensure twin advantages of better quality and better
working conditions. This component encourages reelers to establish hot air drying
and applicable for both mulberry and vanya sectors.
(a) Hot Air Dryer:
The Hot Air Dryer is electrically operated, which consists of a chamber for
cocoons, heating element, air ventilation apparatus and air circulation facility.
The heat energy used for cocoons drying is supplied by steam, electricity or flue
gas. Under Indian conditions, the reeling filature are small and quantity of
cocoons to be dried is comparatively less. It is
Therefore proposed to promote Hot Air Dryer of 50 & 100 Kg capacity depending
upon the beneficiary requirement.

(b) Ushnakoti:
In rural areas due to non-availability of continuous power supply, use of Hot Air
Dryers is not practicable. Keeping this in view, the Central Silk Boards research
institutions have developed a cottage hot air drying chamber called Ushnakoti,
which is capable of drying cocoons economically without use of electric power.
Ushnakoti is a mud brick structure on solid foundation with corrugated asbestos
roofing. The built in multi-fuel oven with the Ushnakoti is capable of burning fire
wood, agro-wastes such as paddy husk, groundnut husk, wood chips, dry leaves,
mulberry twigs, etc., thereby achieving a temperature of 100oC inside the
chamber. The physical target, unit cost and sharing pattern is indicated below.

Assistance for twisting units:

This is a new component. The reelers usually market the raw silk. The raw silk
gets twisted and then reaches the weavers. The objective of this component is to
enhance value addition at the Multi-end reeling units, by adding a twisting unit
with 400 spindles with supporting winding and doubling machines so that they
can supply consistently good quality twisted silk to the weaving sector
The total project cost for 400-spindle twisting unit works out to around Rs.20.00
lakhs, of which the equipments cost is Rs.6.00 lakhs. The total subsidy is Rs.4.50
lakhs which is 23% of the project cost in general States and Rs.4.80 lakhs (24%) in

Incentive for production of Bi-voltine silk:

The objective of the component is to encourage the production of Bi-voltine silk
by the private and co-operative reeling units. This envisages payment of an
incentive of Rs.100 per kg of bi-Voltine silk reeled on Multi-end / Automatic
reeling units in the States of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh and
Multi-end / Automatic / Cottage basin reeling units in all the other States. The
incentive amount will be shared by CSB and State in the ratio of 50:50 (general
States) / 90:10 (NE and special status States) in respect of the bi-voltine silk
reeled on Automatic / Multi-end / Cottage basin units during the XI Plan period.
The concerned department in the States shall implement the component and
claim CSBs share along with a list of beneficiaries on a quarterly basis. The
CSBs share will be released to States and the States shall disburse the eligible
incentive amount (both State & CSB share) to the reeling units. The
disbursement of the eligible incentive amount shall be confirmed to CSB by
furnishing an Utilization Certificate, to facilitate considering further claims. Those
States which are unable to implement the component due to budgetary problem
or for any other reason, such States or concerned CSB units may recommend /
forward the claims received from the reeling units along with a certificate
indicating the quantity of Bi-voltine silk reeled by the units, to CSB facilitating to
release its share @ Rs.50.00 per kg in general States and @ Rs.90.00 per kg in
NE & special status States, directly to the reeling units. A provision of Rs.30.00
crores is proposed for XI Plan, of which CSB share is Rs. 22.50 crores and
Rs.7.50 crores is States share.

Quality linked price support system for Cocoons and Raw Silk for State
Govts. / Co-operatives / NGOs / SHGs:
Objective of the scheme is to establish an organized marketing system, for
facilitating the farmers / reelers for disposing their produce on quality linked
pricing system, to provide marketing support to the farmers and reelers for
disposing their produce conveniently at the remunerative prices. The scheme
also envisaged creation of Revolving Fund (RF) facilitating States to extend
marketing support to farmers / reelers. Under this scheme, most of the States
have created RF, which is being utilized for purchase of cocoons from the
farmers, while the system adopted by the States of Tamil Nadu and Andhra
Pradesh i.e., a fixed amount of incentive per kg of quality silk produced on Multiend machine, is more effective on quality up-gradation. Therefore, the
component is now proposed to continue with modifications and envisages
support for the purposes indicated below:
Strengthening of the existing Cocoon Markets / Silk Exchanges with all
necessary infrastructure like providing various equipments, expansion etc.
This can be both for Bi-voltine and CB Markets.
Establishment of Cocoon Markets in the area / cluster where cocoon
marketing facilities are not available. It is proposed to support creating the
required infrastructure (excluding land) / equipments depending upon the
market arrivals and number of farmers it can cater to.
Procurement of equipments required for testing and grading of cocoons /
yarn to support quality linked pricing. Procurement of equipments required
for the Cocoon Markets / Silk Exchanges will also be supported.
Creation of non-erodable Revolving Fund (RF) for purchasing cocoons / raw
silk at a minimum price fixed on quality basis. Depending upon the
changing market situation, the States in consultation with CSB have to fix
a minimum price on quality basis and such quality should be confirmed by
testing before auction in the Cocoon Markets / Silk Exchanges. In case,
the graded cocoons / raw silk is not fetching a minimum price so fixed, the
States can procure such cocoons / raw silk and the same can be disposed
later, for which the RF can be utilized. The States, which have already
created RF under X Plan scheme and proposed to enhance the FR under
the XI Plan Scheme, shall justify the proposal indicating the status of the
existing RF (created under the X Plan Scheme), achievement etc.
It is also proposed to develop IT applications in Post Cocoon sector,
especially in quality linked price support system / marketing aspects.

The component envisages financial support to the extent of 75% of the total
project cost (indicative cost of Rs.60.00 lakhs), limited to a maximum of Rs.45.00
lakhs being CSBs share for general States. For NE and special status States,
CSBs financial support will be 90% of the project cost limited to a maximum of
Rs.54.00 lakhs. However, the above project cost is flexible depending upon the
necessity / feasibility of the component proposed to be implemented by the
States and ranging from Rs.20.00 lakhs to Rs.60.00 lakhs, of which CSBs
support will be limited to 75% for general States and 90% for special status
States.
Establishment of Cocoon Banks / Market support to Vanya Sector:
Sericulture in the non traditional and some of the Northern States is not as
developed as in traditional states in terms of silk production, productivity and
number of crops per year. Majority of the non-traditional sericulture States have
two commercial crops per year. This situation compels the reeling units / reelers
of the above states to procure raw material and store them for at-least six
months, to be used during the off season. This involves not only a huge capital
but also requires enough storage space to stock the raw material. In order to help
the reelers / reeling units of the above States and make available the raw
material throughout the year, it is proposed to support establishment of Cocoon
Banks during the XI Plan period. It is proposed to extend support to the
interested State Govts. / Departments or the State identified agencies like NGOs,
Societies and SHGs for establishment of Cocoon Banks with suitable
infrastructure and equipments for cocoon grading, drying and storage.
The Unit cost is Rs.1.00 crore (50,00 lakhs for building, fixtures, furniture, 25.00
lakhs towards revolving capital & 25.00 lakhs for equipments), of which, CSBs
share is 50% of the building construction (90% in special status States) and
100% of equipment costs and revolving fund. The balance 50% of the building
construction will have to be borne by the States besides providing the required
land for construction of the building. The Central share would be released in
three installments on completion of stages as indicated below:
1st installment after approval of the project proposal 50% of the building cost
limited to Rs.25.00 lakhs (90%, limited to Rs.45.00 lakhs in special status
States).
2nd installment after completion of the building 100% of the equipment cost
limited to Rs.25.00 lakhs.
3rd installment after installation of the package equipments 100% of
Revolving Capital limited to Rs.25.00 lakhs.

The Cocoon Banks, established by the respective State Governments with

financial support (75% of the unit cost of Rs.1.00 crore) from the GOI, shall
function as Cocoon drying and storage banks that can be operated only by the
authorized members as and when required. The interested Reelers can open an
account with the Cocoon Bank located in their vicinity by paying a modest sum of
Rs.500.00 and become authorized members.
The authorized members (Reelers) are required to assess their total raw material
requirement for a given year and to make a security deposit of 20% of the
estimated value of raw material requirement to the Cocoon Bank. The balance
80% shall be contributed by the Cocoon Banks. The purchased cocoon lots
would be dried at the Bank premises under the technical supervision of the Bank
and stored in cages, individually allotted to each of the authorized members. The
bank can charge a nominal drying charge of Rs.2.00 per kg of cocoon. Like Bank
lockers, the cages would have a set of two keys for its operation, one each with
the concerned reeler / authorized member and the Bank Manager.
Subsequently, based on the raw material requirement, the reeler can draw a
particular quantity of the stored cocoon from his / her account / cage, by paying
the cost of dried cocoons (calculated based on the purchase price of green
cocoon and standard reduction due to stifling + a nominal service charges). The
security deposit would be adjusted at the end of each year (12 calendar months).
A reeler can operate his / her cocoon account not more than three times a
month. Fresh security deposit has to be made every year to maintain his / her
account validity.
It is proposed to set up 10 Cocoon Banks during XI Plan at a total cost of
Rs.10.00 crores (CSBs share - Rs.7.50 crores & States share - Rs.2.50 crores)
in ten non-traditional States (one each) on priority and need basis.
Providing services of Master Reelers / Weavers / Dyers to reeling / weaving
/ dyeing units through States Governments / NGOs / Co-op. Societies /
SHGs:
One of the major constraints to sustain silk industry in non-traditional states was
the absence of efficient reeling / weaving / dyeing skills. To over come this
problems, under X Plan, the Master Reelers /Weavers / Dyers were deputed to
existing silk reeling / weaving / dyeing units identified by the States to train the
workers engaged in the units and to develop confidence among reelers / weavers
/ dyers to manage and run the units satisfactorily. Considering the good
feedback, demand and request from the States, it is proposed to continue the
component with modifications during XI Plan. The deputation period of two years
reduced to one year. Each Master Reeler / Weaver / Dyer will be paid an
honorarium of Rs.3,600.00, house rent allowance of Rs.1,000.00 and medical
allowance of Rs.150.00, amounting to Rs.4,750.00 per month. This apart, the
expenses towards travel from the place of residence to the place of deployment

and lump-sum of Rs.15,000.00 after completion of the tenure will also be paid.
The total expenditure will be around Rs.75,000.00 per person per year, which
shall be met by CSB. Each Master Reeler / Weaver / Dyer will be entitled for one
day leave for every month, which may be either taken separately or together
during the deployment period apart from weekly-off and in case of incompletion
of one year period, the leave and lump-sum will be worked out proportionately.
The reeling / weaving / dyeing units will have to submit the applications to CSB /
CSTRI for arranging to provide the services of Master/Skilled Reelers / Weavers /
Dyers and CSTRI will be provided with funds. A total provision of Rs.75.00 lakhs
is proposed as CSB share to cover 100 Master Reelers / Weavers / Dyers in XI
Plan.
Support for Vanya Reeling / Spinning Sector:
In order to support Vanya reeling / spinning activity to improve the productivity
and reduce drudgery, CSTRI has developed pedal-cum-motorized reeling and
twisting machines for Tasar and Muga and low cost motorized spinning wheel for
Eri. Replacement of traditional devices with these improved reeling and spinning
machines results in reducing drudgery, increasing the efficiency and dispels the
painful and hazardous method of thigh / hand reeling, besides improving the
productivity and quality. These improved devices have been introduced in the field
during IX & X Plan and received good response from the users. In order to create
additional facility and consolidate the efforts undertaken during the IX & X Plan, it
is proposed to continue to encourage the use of efficient and modern reeling and
spinning devices for overall improvement in quality and productivity of reeled and
spun Vanya silks. The physical target, unit cost and sharing pattern are indicated

Support for the establishment of Spun / Spinning Mills:

Eri silk production in the country has grown steadily in NE region and also in the
State of Andhra Pradesh over the past decades. The existing technology and
hand-spinning device are outdated and cannot supply quality spun yarn of
different counts in large quantities to meet the needs of silk weavers in the
region. The establishment of Eri Spun Silk Mills would enable the industry to
properly utilize the Eri cocoons (shells) produced in the country. It also helps in
improving the quality of Eri spun yarn, facilitates production of diversified value
added products as per the demand of the national & international markets,
besides generating employment opportunities to the tribes. Hence, there was a
need to effectively utilize the farmers produce through the establishment of Eri
Spun Silk Mills in the North-East Region and Andhra Pradesh. Therefore, the
Scheme was implemented during the X Plan on a pilot basis and assisted to set
up two units, one each in Assam and Andhra Pradesh, with a production capacity
of 60 kg of Eri Spun yarn per shift (120 kg per day). In order to take care of the
growing Eri cocoon production and also to make available high quality Eri yarns
for creating a range of diversified products with export potential, it is proposed to
continue the component with little modifications. It is proposed to create facility

B. Silk Weaving Sector:

This sector is the processing of converting yarn to fabric and the sector requires
huge capital investments and needs to be improved in a big way. As a rough
estimate the handlooms consume about 70% of the raw silk, while power looms
consume the remaining 30%. In order to develop this sector, a package of
schemes is formulated and the package consists of following components.
Support for establishing shuttle-less looms (New).
Support for Handloom Sector for loom up-gradation / replacement.
Support for Computer Aided Textile Designing (CATD) (New).
Support for establishing shuttle-less looms:
This is a new component. In the changing scenario, it is very important to meet
the requirements of the garment sector. The garment sector requires fabrics in
long lengths, wide widths and which are flawless. Only the shuttle-less looms can
meet all these demands of the garment sector. Therefore the component would
help in the production of high quality silk fabrics to meet the requirements of the
garment sector. It is proposed to set up these units with Indigenous Rapier looms
(8 Nos.) and a Warping Machine. In addition, electronic jacquards (3 nos each of
240 hooks capacity) are envisaged @ Rs.1.00 lakh per unit for handlooms which
are at present operated with punched cards. The introduction of electronic
jacquards provides the following advantages.
a)

b)
c)

Cost of each punched card used in conventional jacquards is only

Rs.2.50 and for intricate designs, even up to Rs.1.00 lakh is incurred.
Elimination of punched card by the electronic jacquards brings down
the cost of designing & avoids deforestation.
Duration to change design is reduced substantially.
It is proposed to install electronic jacquards (3 nos. each of 240
hooks capacity) for 500 handlooms @ Rs.1.00 lakh per unit during XI
Plan period.

The total project cost for establishment of a unit works out to around Rs.1.21 crore,
of which the equipments cost is Rs.0.50 crore. The total subsidy is Rs.37.50 lakhs,
which is 31% of the project cost. The physical target, unit cost and sharing pattern

Support for Handloom Sector for loom up-gradation:

(i) Certified Handlooms:
Most of the weavers in various silk clusters continue to use the traditional pitlooms or old / hackneyed frame-looms without any modern attachments either to
improve the productivity or quality of the fabric. CSTRI has developed an
improved handloom wherein special features have been incorporated so as to
give the handloom weavers a distinct advantage to produce quality fabrics with
better productivity. It is proposed to provide support to replace the age-old
traditional looms. The looms suitable for the particular region, be it pit loom,
frame loom or improved loom would be covered under the component.
(ii) Loom up-gradation through Jacquards & other equipments:
Support would be provided to existing pit or frame or improved handlooms to
install either one or more of the following accessories.

Computer Aided Textile Designing (CATD):

This is a new component. Designs form an integral part of textiles and offer an
edge to the product in the market. The aesthetic design starts with a creative
idea which goes through a period of detailed development of the total design
before it is put on to the textiles. Much of the effort involved in the process of
design development can be minimized with the use of computers. Computer
Aided Textile Designing (CATD) provides freedom to the textile designer to get
the best out of his artistic ingenuity and better flexibility for his creativity. The use
of CATD facilitates the artist with ease and quickness of operations besides
making available innumerable options. It also equips the textile designer with a
tool to react to the changes in the market trend in a faster way. The CATD
package will include hardware, textile designing software and computerized card
punching facility. The unit cost and sharing pattern are indicated below.

C. Silk Wet Processing Sector:

Under this sector, silk yarn and fabric will be processed for dyeing/ finishing. In
order to develop this sector, the scheme Support for setting up of Common
Facility Centre for yarn dyeing and fabric processing is formulated.
1. Support for setting up of Common Facility Centre (CFC) for yarn dyeing
and fabric processing :
(i) CFC for Yarn Dyeing:
Though silk is produced only in a few States, almost all the States in the country
have at least one weaving cluster. The dyeing requirements of these clusters are
met mainly by the small time traditional dyers, who dye small quantities of silk
employing low level of technology & equipments. This results in poor quality
dyeing especially poor colour fastness. CSB studied the requirement of these
dyeing clusters across the country and came out with measures to address the
problems. Based on these, during the IX Plan a Common Facility Centre Scheme
for yarn dyeing was introduced with Arm Dyeing Machine, Water Softening Plant,
Boiler and Effluent Treatment Plant and 16 such units were established during
the plan. These units were well received. The scheme was offered only to the
Co-operatives. Many of the Master Weavers and small time dyers also require
this yarn dyeing facility to deliver quality dyed yarn. A smaller capacity dyeing
units have to be suggested to address the different requirement of this sector.

The total project cost for 25 kgs Yarn dyeing unit works out to around Rs.19.00
lakhs, of which the equipments cost is Rs.3.00 lakhs. The subsidy is Rs.2.25 lakhs,
which is 25% of the project cost in general States and Rs.2.70 lakhs (30%) in
special status States. Similarly, the total project cost for 50 kgs Yarn dyeing unit
works out to around Rs.15.00 lakhs, of which the equipments cost is Rs.5.00
lakhs. The subsidy is Rs.3.75 lakhs, which is 25% of the project cost in general
States and Rs.4.50 lakhs (30%) in special status States. The total project cost for
50 kgs Arm dyeing unit works out to around Rs.22.00 lakhs, of which the
equipments cost is Rs.12.00 lakhs. The subsidy is Rs.9.00 lakhs, which is 41% of
the project cost in general States and Rs.10.80 lakhs (49%) in special status
States. The physical target, unit cost and sharing pattern for XI Plan are indicated
below.

(ii) CFC for Fabric processing:
Most of the silk fabrics produced on power-looms are piece dyed and hence
require fabric processing and finishing facility. As these facilities are capital
intensive and use large volume of material, the fabric processing is carried out in
vessels in primitive manner resulting in poor quality. The finishing work is
generally outsourced. Hence, creation of such fabric processing and finishing
facility will certainly help the processors in places like Serampore, Varanasi and
Bangalore where there is huge requirement for fabric processing. The total
project cost for Fabric processing unit works out to around Rs.66.00 lakhs, of
which the equipments cost is Rs.25.00 lakhs. The subsidy is Rs.18.75 lakhs, which

is 28% of the project cost in general States and Rs.22.50 lakhs (34%) in special
status States. The physical target, unit cost and sharing pattern are indicated
