TEXTILE INDUSRY
The Indian textile industry has a significant presence in the economy as well as in the international textile economy. Its contribution to the Indian economy is manifested in terms of its contribution to the industrial production, employment generation and foreign exchange earnings. It contributes 20 percent of industrial production, 9 percent of excise collections, 18 percent of employment in the industrial sector, nearly 20 percent to the countrys total export earning and 4 percent to the Gross Domestic Product.

In human history, past and present can never ignore the importance of textile in a civilization decisively affecting its destinies, effectively changing its social scenario. A brief but thoroughly researched feature on Indian textile culture. India has been well known for her textile goods since very ancient times. The traditional textile industry of India was virtually decayed during the colonial regime. However, the modern textile industry took birth in India in the early nineteenth century when the first textile mill in the country was established at fort gloster near Calcutta in 1818. The cotton textile industry, however, made its real beginning in Bombay, in 1850s. The first cotton textile mill of Bombay was established in 1854 by a Parsi cotton merchant then engaged in overseas and internal trade. Indeed, the vast majority of the early mills were the handiwork of Parsi merchants engaged in yarn and cloth trade at home and Chinese and African markets. The first cotton mill in Ahmedabad, which was eventually to emerge as a rival centre to Bombay, was established in 1861. The spread of the textile industry to Ahmedabad was largely due to the Gujarati trading class.

The cotton textile industry made rapid progress in the second half of the nineteenth century and by the end of the century there were 178 cotton textile mills; but during the year 1900 the cotton textile industry was in bad state due to the great famine and a number of mills of Bombay and Ahmedabad were to be closed down for long periods. The two world War and the Swadeshi movement provided great stimulus to the Indian cotton textile industry. However, during the

period 1922 to 1937 the industry was in doldrums and during this period a number of the Bombay mills changed hands. The second World War, during which textile import from Japan completely stopped, however, brought about an unprecedented growth of this industry. The number of mills increased from 178 with 4.05 lakh looms in 1901 to 249 mills with 13.35 lakh looms in 1921 and further to 396 mills with over 20 lakh looms in 1941. By 1945 there were 417 mills employing 5.10 lakh workers.

The cotton textile industry is rightly described as a Swadeshi industry because it was developed with indigenous entrepreneurship and capital and in the pre-independence era the Swadeshi movement stimulated demand for Indian textile in the country.

The partition of the country at the time of independence affected the cotton textile industry also. The Indian union got 409 out of the 423 textiles mills of the undivided India. 14 mills and 22 per cent of the land under cotton cultivation went to Pakistan. Some mills were closed down for some time. For a number of years since independence, Indian mills had to import cotton from Pakistan and other countries.

After independence, the cotton textile industry made rapid strides under the Plans. Between 1951 and 1982 the total number of spindles doubled from 11 million to 22 million. It increased further to well over 26 million by 1989-90.

CURRENT POSITION OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Textile constitutes the single largest industry in India. The segment of the industry during the year 2000-01 has been positive. The production of cotton declined from 156 lakh bales in 19992000 to 1.40 lakh bales during 2000-01. Production of man-made fibre increased from 835 million kgs in 1999-2000 to 904 million kgs during the year 2000-01 registering a growth of 8.26%. The production of spun yarn increased to 3160 million kgs during 2000-01 from 3046 million kgs during 1999-2000 registering a growth of 3.7%. The production of man-made filament yarn registered a growth of 2.91% during the year 1999-2000 increasing from 894

million kgs to 920 million kgs. The production of fabric registered a growth of 2.7% during the year 1999-2000 increasing from 39,208 million sq mtrs to 40,256 million sq mtrs. The production of mill sector declined by 2.6% while production of handloom, powerloom and hosiery sector increased by 2%, 2.7% and 5.1% respectively. The exports of textiles and garments increased from Rs. 455048 million to Rs. 552424 million, registering a growth of 21%. Growth in the textile industry in the year 2003-2004 was Rs. 1609 billion. And during 2004-05 production of fabrics touched a peak of 45,378 million squre meters. In the year 2005-06 up to November, production of fabrics registered a further growth of 9 percent over the corresponding period of the previous year. With the growing awareness in the industry of its strengths and weakness and the need for exploiting the opportunities and averting threats, the government has initiated many policy measures as follows.

The Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) was launched in April 99 to provide easy access to capital for technological upgradation by various segments of the Industry. The Technology Mission on Cotton (TMC) was launched in February 2000 to address issues relating to the core fibre of Cotton like low productivity, contamination, obsolete ginning and pressing factories, lack of storage facilities and marketing infrastructure A New Long Term Textiles and Garments Export Entitlement (Quota) Policies 2000-2004 was announced for a period of five years with effect from 1.1.2000 to 31.12.2004 covering the remaining period of the quota regime. STRUCTURE OF INDIAS TEXTILE INDUSTRY

The textile sector in India is one of the worlds largest. The textile industry today is divided into three segments:

1. Cotton Textiles 2. Synthetic Textiles 3. Other like Wool, Jute, Silk etc.

All segments have their own place but even today cotton textiles continue to dominate with 73% share. The structure of cotton textile industry is very complex with co-existence of oldest technologies of hand spinning and hand weaving with the most sophisticated automatic spindles and loom. The structure of the textile industry is extremely complex with the modern, sophisticated and highly mechanized mill sector on the one hand and hand spinning and hand weaving (handloom sector) on the other in between falls the decentralised small scale powerloom sector.

Unlike other major textile-producing countries, Indias textile industry is comprised mostly of small-scale, nonintegrated spinning, weaving, finishing, and apparel-making enterprises. This unique industry structure is primarily a legacy of government policies that have promoted laborintensive, small-scale operations and discriminated against larger scale firms:

Composite Mills.
Relatively large-scale mills that integrate spinning, weaving and, sometimes, fabric finishing are common in other major textile-producing countries. In India, however, these types of mills now account for about only 3 percent of output in the textile sector. About 276 composite mills are now operating in India, most owned by the public sector and many deemed financially sick. In 2003-2004 composite mills that produced 1434 m.sq mts of cloth. Most of these mills are located in Gujarat and Maharashtra.

Spinning.
Spinning is the process of converting cotton or manmade fiber into yarn to be used for weaving and knitting. This mills chiefly located in North India. Spinning sector is technology intensive and productivity is affected by the quality of cotton and the cleaning process used during ginning. Largely due to deregulation beginning in the mid-1980s, spinning is the most consolidated and technically efficient sector in Indias textile industry. Average plant size remains small, however, and technology outdated, relative to other major producers. In 2002/03, Indias spinning sector consisted of about 1,146 small-scale independent firms and 1,599 larger scale independent units.

Weaving and Knitting.

The weaving and knits sector lies at the heart of the industry. In 2004-05, of the total production from the weaving sector, about 46 percent was cotton cloth, 41 percent was 100% non-cotton including khadi, wool and silk and 13 percent was blended cloth. Three distinctive technologies are used in the sector handlooms, powerlooms and knitting machines. Weaving and knitting converts cotton, manmade, or blended yarns into woven or knitted fabrics. Indias weaving and knitting sector remains highly fragmented, small-scale, and labour-intensive. This sector consists of about 3.9 million handlooms, 380,000 powerloom enter-prises that operate about 1.7 million looms, and just 137,000 looms in the various composite mills. Powerlooms are small firms, with an average loom capacity of four to five owned by independent entrepreneurs or weavers. Modern shuttleless looms account for less than 1 percent of loom capacity.

Fabric Finishing.
Fabric finishing (also referred to as processing), which includes dyeing, printing, and other cloth preparation prior to the manufacture of clothing, is also dominated by a large number of independent, small-scale enterprises. Overall, about 2,300 processors are operating in India, including about 2,100 independent units and 200 units that are integrated with spinning, weaving, or knitting units.

Clothing.
Apparel is produced by about 77,000 small-scale units classified as domestic manufacturers, manufacturer exporters, and fabricators (subcontractors).

INDIAS MAJOR COMPETITIORS IN THE WORLD

To understand Indias position among other textile producing the industry contributes 9% of GDP and 35% of foreign exchange earning, Indias share in global exports is only 3% compared to Chinas 13.75% percent. In addition to China, other developing countries are emerging as serious

10

competitive threats to India. Looking at export shares, Korea (6%) and Taiwan (5.5%) are ahead of India, while Turkey (2.9%) has already caught up and others like Thailand (2.3%) and Indonesia (2%) are not much further behind. The reason for this development is the fact that India lags behind these countries in investment levels, technology, quality and logistics. If India were competitive in some key segments it could serve as a basis for building a modern industry, but there is no evidence of such signs, except to some extent in the spinning industry.

HISTORY
The industrial city of Ludhiana, located in the fertile Malwa region of Central Punjab is otherwise known as the "Manchester of India". Within the precincts of this city is located the Corporate headquarters of the Vardhman Group, a household name in Northern India. The Vardhman Group, born in 1965, under the entrepreneurship of Late Lala Rattan Chand Oswal has today blossomed into one of the largest Textile Business houses in India. At its inception, Vardhman had an installed capacity of 14,000 spindles, today; its capacity has increased multifold to over 5.5 lacs spindles. In 1982 the Group entered the sewing thread market in the country which was a forward integration of the business. Today Vardhman Threads is the second largest producer of sewing thread in India. In 1990, it undertook yet another diversification - this time into the weaving business. The grey fabric weaving unit at Baddi (HP), commissioned in 1990 with a capacity of 20,000 meters per day, has already made its mark as a quality producer of Grey poplin, sheeting, and shirting in the domestic as well as foreign market. This was followed by entry into fabric processing by setting up Auro Textiles at Baddi, which currently has a processing capacity of 1 lacs meters/day. In the year 1999 the Group has added yet another feature to its cap with the setting up of Vardhman Acrylics Ltd., Bharuch (Gujarat) which is a joint venture in Acrylic Fibre production undertaken with Marubeni and Exlan of Japan. The company also has a strong presence in the markets of Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, UK and EU in addition to the domestic market. Adherence to systems and a true dedication to quality has resulted in obtaining the ISO 9002/ ISO 14002 quality award which is the first in Textile industry in India and yet another laurel to its credit. The company emphasized in the area of productivity, quality, cost effectiveness and energy conservation. The philosophy of Vardhman is to focus on use of all resources in achieving perfection in operational performance, standards of productivity, work norms, cost per/kg and spindle/shift , These have been appreciated by the various textile institutes in their comparative surveys of industries. The performance is reflected in the balance sheet of the company in the area of energy as per unit product basis. Apart from this we have a training center at Ludhiana where training programs are being conducted for staff and officers. For workers a MANAV VIKAS KENDRA. ER is established since 1984 inside the mill premises for training & development of workers. We have also adopted the concept of Quality Circle and Total Productivity Management (TPM) in our mill. We have KAIZEN Scheme to get suggestion on energy savings,

17

improvement in work culture, increase in production & productivity, safety, waste minimization and cost reduction etc.

HAND/NEEDLE

People have always found deep personal pleasure and sense of satisfaction in creating articles of daily use and artistic works from basic equipment and materials. One of the crafts practiced since times immemorial is needlecraft and embroidery - the urge to create with colourful threads. Embroidery was used in Ancient Egypt to decorate the hems of royal robes, in tapestries in the Middle Ages, and in ladies' samplers during the Colonial and Victorian eras. It continues as an art form today.
Hand embroidery is used to decorate wall hangings, pillowcases, quilts and table runners. Hand embroidery differs from counted cross stitch in that it uses many different types of stitches to achieve texture and interest, whereas counted cross stitch uses a single stitch and relies on color and shading for texture. Five stitches form the basis for hand embroidery. The stitches are outline, satin, lazy daisy, cross and French knot. Hand embroidery is a beautiful art that almost anyone can learn. It is an art that should be preserved and well worth learning. The hand embroidery market in India is segmented into three segments.

SCHIFFLI/LACE

Process Features

Continuous aqueous suspension polymerisation of reactive ingredients in a precisely controlled reactor system. Constant composition of polymer and close control of molecular weight. Polymer in water slurry dissolved with highly concentrated solvent, deaerated, heated and filtered to convert into dope suitable for spinning. Dope extruded through spinnerette in spin bath filled with dilute coagulant to form gel fibre which is washed, stretched and made void free to provide a dense and compact structure of the fibre. Tow is crimped and heat set to acquire stress and strain property. High quality finish applied for antistatic and lubrication purpose.

Some of our CSR (Corporate social responsibility) activities

Sri Aurobindo Socio-Economic and Management Research Institute is engaged in the promotion of education, research and publications highlighting social and economic issues facing the society. The Institute runs a Human Resource Development Centre for providing career counseling and guidance to college students in Punjab. The teams of experts also visit the colleges in the state to prepare college students for gainful employment in the industry.

Sprung from a keen desire to set up an educational institution in Ludhiana and inspired by the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, the Trust has set up a college - Sri Aurobindo College of Commerce and Management (affiliated to the Punjab University) with the mission to create an institution with distinction dedicated to the ideals of creating disciplined career oriented young people ready for going for administrative and management roles in enterprises or to set up their own business as entrepreneurs.

Mr. Oswal with Faculty at the College A Vardhman initiative to improve the yield of cotton in Punjab in 2001 when the State had suffered a shock of crop devastation and area under cotton cultivation was dwindling, led to the experiment to adopt villages and see whether concerted efforts in bringing knowledge to farmers could improve the yield of cotton. The experiment was successful as it improved the yield of cotton to 873 kg/hectare in 2005 in adopted villages where the average yield of cotton in the State of Punjab was 587 kg/hectare (world average - 700 kg/hectare). It found mention in the President's broadcast on Technology Day (11/05/04) as a 'technological event which has the potential to penetrate into our everyday lives'. The Village Adoption Programme also found mention in the President's address to the nation on the eve of India's 56th Republic day. The President of India was gracious to bless one of the participating Villages -'Gehri Buttar' (District - Bathinda) by his presence on December 10th 2005.

Vardhman is actively engaged in the activities of Nimbua Greenfield Punjab Limited (www.ngpl.co.in) formed by a consortium of Industries of Punjab for developing a

CONCLUSION
Success of every business depends upon the hiring of best potential, competent person and to retain them with the organization for its continual growth and development. So I come to this conclusion that the recruitment method of every organization plays very important role in achieving its existing and future plans. Recruitment includes identification of sources and search for skilled and competent persons, retains them, orients them, trained them and motivated them. So that it can get maximum out of its service and skills. In the case Vardhaman mills they use various sources for the recruitment of the staff and officers that i already define in the report. For this they use various external and internal sources for the new requirement and any other place. They use various steps for the selection of the candidates e.g. preliminary interview, medical examination, group discussion etc. In this the H.O.D. of various departments are related with this method.

43

SUGGESTION
Company needs to revise the pay scale of the employees. Timely and adequate increments should be there for the employees. Organization should provide better Housing, Retirement benefits, Educational Assistance, Leave, Health, transportation facilities. Employee motivation should be encouraged. Interpersonal relations should be more developed. Superior subordinate relations should be fine and hierarchy should be shortened. Time to time profile changes for the employees There should be job rotation for the employees in all dept , so the employees can know all other activities Increase staff level salary taking into consideration current inflation.
