| dc.description.abstract | Sericulture has a special place among the agro-based cottage industry of our country. Sericulture industry supported millions of rural people in our country by way of providing employment. Sericulture in India has turned out to be a highly remunerative enterprise with minimum capital base and yielding reasonably good returns vis-à-vis other enterprises. The development of sericulture and the factors affecting regional disparity with respect to sericultural development studied in detail using ten important sericultural development indicators. The study pertained to Karnataka state and its component districts. The secondary data were collected for a period of 20 years depending on the availability of the data starting from 1990-1991 to 2009-2010, pertaining to ten important sericultural development indicators like area under mulberry, egg production, cocoon production, raw silk production, number of mulberry producing villages, number of markets, number of grainage centers, number of chalky centers, number of reeling centers, rainfall. The Mahalanobis D2 analysis (distance statistics) was employed to know the extent of regional disparity, factors affecting regional disparity and to classify the districts based on sericulture development. The results revealed that districts were highly despair with respect to sericultural development and the area under mulberry production, egg production, cocoon production and raw silk production were the major factors affecting regional disparity followed by number of mulberry producing villages, number of grainage centers and number of markets. All the 20 districts were grouped into three clusters and the three clusters were categorized into three groups as highly developed, moderately developed and low developed using the sericultural development index formed. With this optimistic scenario, priority should be given to major development indicators and there is need to undertake developmental measures in low developed and moderately developed districts to reduce regional disparity in the state. | en_US |
