| dc.description.abstract | "Karnataka is leading in mulberry silk production. The focus of the study was on economic analysis of silk reeling units. Multistage sampling procedure was adopted and totally 250 samples were selected. Relevant data collected from primary' and secondary sources were analysed through tabular, cluster, orthogonal polynomial regression, log-linear regression, frontier function and decomposition techniques. The growth analysis of charka and cottage basins in Karnataka showed an increasing trend upto 1996, then onwards showed a declining trend. Charka and cottage basins in Bangalore and Kolar districts exhibited constant increasing trend. Mysore district showed a unique pattern of declining trend in the later part of 1990s. Renditta was 8.82, 9.57 and 9.02 kg in charka, cottage and multi-end basins respectively. The share of cocoon cost to the total cost was 85 percent in these systems. Sources of fuel used in reeling were neither eco-friendly nor cost-effective. Net returns per kg of silk reeled were Rs.47,21, Rs. 146.18 and Rs. 185.28 in these systems, respectively. Medium charkas (4-5/unit) and cottage basins (6-8/unit) were found optimum. The proportion of women labour used was more in all the systems. Labour employed per kg of silk reeled was 1.07, 1.45 and 1.34 man-days in charka, cottage and multi-end basins, respectively. The value addition (72.18%) in cottage basin reeUng over charkas was mainly due to technique of reeling (57.56%) and the remaining attributed for the use of inputs (14.62%). The package for introduction of silk reeling in new sericulture area suffers from lack of skilled labour, infrastructure, financial support and correct information about the programmes. The conditions under which children worked were most pathetic. Present laws and their efficiency of implementation have not solved the problem of child and women labour exploitation, hence needs the thorough investigation." | en_US |
