PRESENT STATUS OF VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY (a) HANDLOOM SECTOR Handloom Industry in India is the most important, ancient, traditional cottage industry which is providing employment to large number of people in rural areas and semi-urban areas. Handloom industry in Tamilnadu plays an important role in improving economic conditions of the rural poor by providing employment for more than 4.29 lakh weaver households and about 11.64 lakh weavers. In Tamilnadu, 2.11 lakh handlooms are functioning in 1247 handloom weavers co-operative societies as on 28.02.2005 and the remaining looms are outside the co-operative fold. Out of 1247 handloom weavers co-operative societies, 1169 are cotton weavers co-operative societies and the remaining 78 are silk weavers co-operative societies. The handloom weavers co-operative societies mostly exist in Rural and Semi-Urban areas, where there is large concentration of handloom weavers. All the Development and welfare schemes implemented by the Government of Tamilnadu and Government of India are channalised through the weavers co-operative societies. The handloom weavers co-operative societies have produced 1083.26 lakh metres of Handloom cloth valued at Rs.559.72 crore and sold handloom goods to the extent of Rs.696.58 crore 1 during the year 2004-05 (upto 28.02.2005). There is an increase of sale of handloom cloth worth Rs.121.97 crore in 2004-05(upto 28.02.2005) over the sales made during the year 2003-04. The number of handloom weavers co-operative societies working on profit has been increased from 527 during the year 2003-2004 to 601 during the year 2004-2005(upto 28.02.2005). Marketing is the major factor for the performance of the handloom weavers co-operative societies. To capture the consumer market, production of marketable / exportable varieties have been encouraged by the Department and suitable action plan have been given to the handloom weavers co-operative societies depending upon the market trend, so as to increase the sales. It has been programmed to adopt new marketing strategies by infusing more number of designs during the year 2005-06, so as to improve the sale of handloom fabrics. (b) POWERLOOM SECTOR The Powerloom Industry in Tamilnadu has been playing a pivotal role in meeting the clothing needs of the people. The powerloom industry produces a wide variety of cloth, both grey as well as processed. Production of cloth as well as generation of employment has been rapidly increasing in this sector. It also contributes significantly in the export earnings of the country. The Tamilnadu accounts for one fourth of the powerlooms in the country. Against 16.66 lakh powerlooms in India, Tamilnadu has nearly 4.00 lakh powerlooms of which 3.20 lakh are registered. This includes the 132 powerloom weavers co-operative societies functioning with 28,376 powerlooms. The powerloom weavers co-operative societies mainly produce the cloth required under the scheme of free supply of uniforms to school children and free distribution of sarees and dhoties scheme. During the year 2004-05 (upto 28.02.2005), the powerloom weavers co-operative societies have produced 1037.20 lakh metres of cloth valued at Rs.166.43 crore. With a view to provide continuous employment to the powerloom weavers, it has been programmed to produce marketable varieties in the powerloom weavers co-operative societies and suitable action plan has been given to the powerloom weavers co-operative societies. (c) TEXTILE SECTOR (i) Textile Mills The Textile Mills are the back bone of Tamilnadu's industrial development. It is predominantly managed by the private sector and is cotton oriented. The State Textile Industry has a significant presence in the national economy also. The Textile Industry has a very important role to play in the industrial field, with regard to employment potential, overall economic and commercial activities. This industry enables the Central and State Government to earn substantial revenue besides foreign exchange through exports. Out of 2939 large, medium and small spinning mills in India, 1729 are located in Tamilnadu, which includes 18 Co-operative Spinning Mills, 13 National Textile Corporation Mills and 20 Composite Mills. The Spinning capacity of the State is 15.66 million spindles with a labour force of about 2.21 lakh. The State produces about 1164.80 million Kgs. of Spun yarn per annum which accounts for 38% of the National figure. The State is the No.1 producer of cotton, spun and non-cotton yarn in the Country. In order to compete in the global market and to adopt State of the art of technology on par with international standards, interest subsidy at 5% is being provided to the Textile sector under Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme. So far 559 projects worth Rs.2486.72 crore have been accepted and sanctioned loan for Rs.1531.94 crore, against which Rs.1276.48 crore have been released. In the quota free regime commencing from 01.01.2005, the Textile Industry may face stiff competition from more competitive countries. The problems being confronted by the Textile Industry include high cotton and power cost, rigidity in the existing labour laws, existence of unviable units with obsolete and old machineries and WTO impact. However, Government is actively engaged in devising suitable measures to facilitate the Textile Industry to survive in the present scenario. Apart from this, setting up of Task Force to study 2 the requirements and to do the needful to encourage the textile sector is also under consideration of the Government. The Task Force will take care of the overall activities of the Textile Industry. (ii) Co-operative Spinning Mills In Tamilnadu, 18 Co-operative Spinning Mills have been setup from 1958 to 1985 with 4.70 lakh spindle capacity, so as to ensure uninterrupted supply of quality hank yarn at concessional rate to handloom weavers and cone yarn to the powerloom weavers co-operative societies and also to provide employment to the members of the weavers families and members of repatriates, Adi- dravidas and working class of rural masses. The performance of the co-operative spinning mills dwindled over a period of years. The prime reasons for sickness are due to liberalized economic policies, adverse market condition, hike in cotton price, obsolete machinery conditions, excess yarn production, inadequate working capital, new textile policy and W.T.O. impact, etc. These major factors affected the profitability gravely. All the 18 co-operative spinning mills put together have a total accumulated loss of Rs.477.33 crore as on 28.02.2005. Out of 18 co-operative spinning mills, 13 co-operative spinning mills are non-functional mills and the remaining 5 co-operative spinning mills are functioning now. The reasons for the sickness of the co-operative spinning mills were discussed during the Cabinet Committee Meeting on Disinvestment held on 31.12.2002. Based on the discussions held in the above Committee meeting, Voluntary Retirement Scheme has been implemented in all the 18 co-operative spinning mills which were working at loss. Accordingly, 8543 workers / staff were relieved on Voluntary Retirement Scheme with terminal benefits amounting to Rs.92.87 crore. At present, 5 co-operative spinning mills (Anna, Bharathy, Pudukkottai, Kanyakumari and Dharmapuri) are working continuously. Steps are being taken to get funds from National Co-operative Development Corporation (NCDC) and other sources to run the above five co-operative spinning mills with limited infusion of funds for modernisation, so as to meet the hank yarn requirement of handloom weavers. (d) GARMENTS AND HOSIERY SECTOR Garments occupy a predominant position in world trade as it is the fastest growing sector in the textile industry.

  • Dress and Fabrics of the Mughals
    Chapter IV Dress and Fabrics of the Mughals- The great Mughal emperor Akbar was not only a great ruler, an administrator and a lover of art and architecture but also a true admirer and entrepreneur of different patterns and designs of clothing. The changes and development brought by him from Ottoman origin to its Indian orientation based on the land‟s culture, custom and climatic conditions. This is apparent in the use of the fabric, the length of the dresses or their ornamentation. Since very little that is truly contemporary with the period of Babur and Humayun has survived in paintings, it is not easy to determine exactly what the various dresses look like other than what has been observed by the painters themselves. But we catch a glimpse of the foreign style of these dresses even in the paintings from Akbar‟s period which make references, as in illustrations of history or chronicles of the earlier times like the Babar-Namah or the Humayun-Namah.1 With the coming of Mughals in India we find the Iranian and Central Asian fashion in their dresses and a different concept in clothing.2 (Plate no. 1) Dress items of the Mughals: Akbar paid much attention to the establishment and working of the various karkhanas. Though articles were imported from Iran, Europe and Mongolia but effort were also made to produce various stuffs indigenously. Skilful master and workmen were invited and patronised to settle in this country to teach people and improve system of manufacture.2 Imperial workshops Karkhanas) were established in the towns of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad.

So shop for yourself or gift a sari to someone, we have something for everyone. The wavy bun completed her look. Face Deal. Long-time weaving families have found themselves out of work , their looms worthless. Sari , also spelled saree , principal outer garment of women of the Indian subcontinent, consisting of a piece of often brightly coloured, frequently embroidered, silk , cotton , or, in recent years, synthetic cloth five to seven yards long. But for some in Asian American communities, the prospect of the nation's first Black and South Asian Vice President wearing a traditional sari at any of the inauguration events -- even if the celebrations are largely virtual -- has offered a glimmer of positivity amid the tumult. Zari Work. As a politician, Dimple Kapadia's sarees were definitely in tune with the sensibilities but she made a point of draping elegant and minimal saree. Batik Sarees. Party Wear. Pandadi Saree. While she draped handloom sarees in the series, she redefined a politician's look with meticulous fashion sensibility. Test your visual vocabulary with our question challenge! Vintage Sarees.

  • Glitter Text
    All That Glitters – Spark and Dazzle from the Permananent Collection co-curated by Janine LeBlanc and Roger Manley Randy and Susan Woodson Gallery January 23 – July 12, 2020 Through the ages, every human society has demonstrated a fascination with shiny objects. Necklaces made of glossy marine snail shells have been dated back nearly 135,000 years, while shiny crystals have been found in prehistoric burials, suggesting the allure they once held for their original owners. The pageantry of nearly every religion has long been enhanced by dazzling displays, from the gilded statues of Buddhist temples and the gleaming mosaics of Muslim mosques and Byzantine churches, to the bejeweled altarpieces and reliquaries of Gothic cathedrals. As both kings and gods, Hawaiian and Andean royalty alike donned garments entirely covered with brilliant feathers to proclaim their significance, while their counterparts in other cultures wore crowns of gold and gems. High status and desirability have always been signaled by the transformative effects of reflected light. Recent research indicates that our brains may be hard-wired to associate glossy surfaces with water (tinyurl.com/glossy-as-water). If so, the impulse drawing us toward them may have evolved as a survival mechanism. There may also be subconscious associations with other survival necessities. Gold has been linked to fire or the sun, the source of heat, light, and plant growth. The glitter of beads or sequins may evoke nighttime stars needed for finding one’s way. The flash of jewels may recall an instinctive association with eyes. In jungles as well as open grasslands, both prey and predator can be so well camouflaged that only the glint of an eye might reveal a lurking presence.
