Today is Martin Luther King's birthday, and although as a Nation we celebrate it next Monda,,, it is entirely appropriate that today we take notice of Dr. King's birthday and all of his work. He made a very noble crusade to strike down the barriers of discrimi- nation in our country, a country in whose Constitution is inscribed the acceptance of slavery. We fought a great war, the Civil War, with extraordinary loss of' life of our fellow citizens, and in the early 1960's we moved toward a peaceful revolution by striking down the barriers. We have made important progressnot all the progress that we would likein understanding race, gender, and disability. But all too often we forget the strong commiiment that Dr. King had to the most vulnerable in our society, the children, and particularly those children with the greatest need. We take note as we start this hearing, that children are the future of our Nation and also our most vulnerable citizens. If there is a responsibility of government, it is to protect their interests and ensure that in our society they are treated with the kind of dignity and fairness and justice on which this Nation is founded. Today, January 15, a day that may live in infamy, the eyes of the American people and citizens around the world are on

  • Managing the Weavers' Crisis of Dhanekhali Handloom Industry
    The International Journal Of Engineering And Science (IJES) || Volume || 4 || Issue || 7 || Pages || PP -60-68|| 2015 || ISSN (e): 2319 – 1813 ISSN (p): 2319 – 1805 Managing the Weavers’ Crisis of Dhanekhali Handloom Industry Sayani Das Research Scholar, Department of Geography, Vidyasagar University, W.B., India Member Faculty, Department of Geography, Asutosh College, Kolkata-700026,W.B., India --------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------- Dhanekhali Handloom Industry of West Bengal enjoys a prominent place in the handloom map of rural India. The place has lent its name to the cotton weaved tant sari it produces. But recently due to various reasons, it is losing its importance. This study is aimed to address these reasons by investigating the socio-economic conditions and problems of the weavers and analysing the overall nature, production method and structure of the regional weaving co-operative society. Both pre and post-field studies, including the collection of primary and secondary data from the Dhanekhali Community Development Block and different co-operative staff are carried out to unearth the root cause of the problem and to perceive the impact on the socio-economic health of the weaving community. It is found that the industry is dominated by the male workers with very low educational profile. Income is paltry and that too in an irregular way, waxing and waning with the number of product output. This poor financial condition of the weavers finds its mark on the dismal condition of the whole industry. The situation is far more aggravated by the rocketing expenditure costs, the cost of raw materials and lack of domestic market and demand.

Chhattisgarh, India Email: [email protected] 2Akahay Kumar Sahu, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engg, MM College of Technology, Raipur Email: [email protected] Abstract: The Raipur saree holds a special position among the wide range of silk sarees available in India. Raipur sarees are available all around the world. “The production of these silk sarees is centered in Raipur. The town Raipur is fine known as ‘Silk Town’ because roundabout of its population is reliant upon the silk industry”. In the order 25,000 Hand loom and 250 power loom are there in Raipur silk loom, filled within town. More than 60,000 people are depending on this silk industry in Raipur.In spite of having a great history in the Silk industry Raipur still is not a bright name in silk production and export. Although the agro-climatic situation in Raipur greatly favors the development of silk industry, Raipur produces high amount of silk products every year, whereas India, situated beside Bangladesh, is the second largest producer of sericulture. To investigate the reason behind this, a questionnaire survey has been undertaken in which only the owners and workers have been considered as representatives of the industry. A total of 250silk industry people were randomly sampled. Data analyses show that almost 57% of the silk enterprises have less than 40 decimal of land while only 19% have more than 100 decimal of land.
