Abstract
"Sericulture is a rural agrobased cottage industry and play an
important role in Indian economy, present study was undertaken by
selecting Bangalore rural district of Ramangaram taluk for reeling and
Dodda Ballapur for weaving units. In the first stage, 30 charaka,
30 cottage and 2 multiend reeling units were selected randomly in
Ramanagar Taluk and 20 power looms and 10 hand looms units were
selected randomly in Dodda Ballapur. The analytical techniques are
Averages, percentages and financial ratios used. The primary data was
collected for the year 2001-02 through pre-tested questionnaire. The data
collected through personal interview method followed. The procurement
pattern by reeling and weaving units were identified are channel-1
Farmers -^ Government cocoon market^ Reelers and channel-I
Government Silk exchange -^ Weaver and channel-II Registered dealers -^
Weavers.
The financial performance of reeling and weaving units showed
relatively more efficient in charaka and cottage units than the multiend
units and they maintained the specific trend throughout the year and
liquid ratio did not affect the solvency position of the units.
The total cost of production of silk by three different types of reeling
units were (Rs. 1261.4/kg) multiend, (Rs. 1183.50/kg of silk) in cottage
and (Rs. 881.60 /kg of silk) in charaka respectively. Similarly, in weaving
units, the total cost of production of per saree was Rs. 990 in power loom
and Rs. 1866.00 in handloom respectively. The problems in all the stages
of silk reeling and weaving processes are lack of quality cocoons/silk yarn,
lack of institutional credit, owing the cottage based silk industry needs to
entrepreneurs status by Government, restructuring industry with
appropriate support for silk industry."
