Description

Abstract : Small industries have been identified as a strong connection with the development of the rural population and that too within the framework of sustainability. The silk industry of Kashmir is also an example of high productivity and high employability. An attempt has been made to analyze the issues and concerns of silk industry of Kashmir. The results of this research indicate that that the silk industry in Kashmir valley is facing problems mainly in raw material costs which lower their business interest, availability of good rearing techniques which reduce their production, good education which can increase marketing opportunities for the rearers.. Indicative measures were also suggested in order to address these problems and help in revival of the silk industry. Among that, best marketing facilities to the rearers, easy supply of various requirements including raw material and rearing appliances and facility of subsidies on various products are of priority concern. The study will be helpful in planning a strategic roadmap for revival of silk industry in Kashmir valley for sustainable development of the state.
