COVER STORY

WEAVING SECTOR IN INDIA Textile industry plays a major role in the Indian economy. It contributes 14% to industrial production and 4% to GDP. With over 45 million people involved, it is one of the largest source of employment generation in the country. The textile industry accounts for nearly 15% of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total exports. Indian weaving industry has traditionally been one of the most thriving sectors for mass employment. Abundant supply of raw materials and availability of cheap labor have been major contributor to its success. India is the only country that still creates hand-made fabrics and is able to maintain its cultural heritage. The world has lost the hand-weaving and loom process, along with the natural and organic processes of fabric manufacturing. Mill-made fabrics largely dominate fashion markets, with China as the biggest example.

This article talks about the existing scenario of weaving industry in India in terms of installed capacities, production volumes and fabric qualities being manufactured in India. Furthermore, it gives an overview of major weaving clusters across the country, challenges faced by the industry and the measures to overcome the same.

Indian weaving industry has conventionally been one of the most promising sectors providing huge employment.

However, challenges like inadequate know-how, low focus on research, innovation in new product development and low technology up gradation poses a threat to the growth potential of this industry. Other than that, low productivity and automation levels also remain one of the biggest woes for the weaving industry. Due to these factors, overall performance of fabric production in India is getting dampened. With more than 90% of the industry unorganized, weaving still remains one of the weakest links of the Indian textile and apparel industry. From technology perspective also, spinning sector in India has always been hailed as being technologically at par with worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards. As it has been recognized that the weaving and processing sectors have been lagging behind as compared to Z "

undertaken by various stakeholders in order to upgrade and modernize this sector.

Major challenges for the Indian weaving industry are discussed below: â&#x20AC;˘ Poor technology levels: Though India has one of the largest installed production base in the world, most of the machinery uses old technology with low productivity and quality levels. â&#x20AC;˘ Low scale of operations: Global manufacturing powerhouses like China have been putting continuous efforts for achieving large scale manufacturing set-ups.

Large scale of operations facilitates production of good quality products at comparatively lower costs.

However, India still lags behind in achieving higher economies of scale. â&#x20AC;˘ Export compliance: The demand for compliance is growing rapidly in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business scenario as the global buyers are now become more conscious towards ethically manufactured products. Indian textile industry lacks proper implementation and management of the compliance norms. Adherence to global norms can be achieved through development and implementation of tools that can help factories certify, monitor and improve universal standards. â&#x20AC;˘ Poor skill levels: The overall productivity levels in Indian textile sector, especially in fabric manufacturing, is relatively low as compared to its competing nations

www.textilevaluechain.com

September 2018

COVER STORY like China, Turkey, etc. The industry needs to improve its focus on training and skill development of the manpower.

As a result of the above mentioned issues, quality of fabric produced in India and customer service level lacks the desired standards. Cost of production also goes up due to the poor technology levels and low scale of operations.

Achieving manufacturing excellence in existing setup is the need of the hour which would aid in to quality improvement, productivity enhancement and reduction in overall manufacturing costs. Increased focus towards technology up gradation and automation would also help in transforming the landscape of weaving industry. India also needs to expand its weaving capacity by scaling up operations. Technical and soft skill training and productivity improvement plans should be organized regularly for the manpower so that they are able to produce better. As mentioned by Management thinker Peter Drucker, what cannot be measured, cannot be improved. Hence, focus should be towards building a strong Quality Management

System (QMS) to measure and monitor Customer service Z Z

and make India more competitive in the global textile and apparel market in the long run.

Mr. Sanjay Arora Business Director Wazir Advisors Private Limited

ADVANCEMENTS IN FABRIC WEAVING TECHNOLOGIES The emphasis on productivity and quality has developed the weaving technology very much and as a result the working hours required to weave fabric from loom have been reduced from about 20 to 0.25 during the last 125 years, and in the last 50 years there has been a reduction of 95% inoperative hours per standard unit produced.

Weaving technologies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then and now The weaving is a process of formation of fabric with interlacement of two or more sets of yarns using a stable machine called loom. It is still not certain when the weaving process was introduced to human society. Except for few activities elsewhere, the major developments in textile took place in England. In England, the major shift from agriculture to woolen industry came in the 14th century. During all these years and a few hundred years after the 14th century, the cloth was produced on hand-looms ] Z ^_`` { | weft to be inserted more rapidly. Edmund Cart Wright, an English clergyman, invented a so-called power loom which could be operated from a single point by two strong men. Fortunately, steam power was available by 1765.

Soon power looms were driven by steam and most of the wooden parts were replaced with iron. These looms then were stopped every few minutes in order to replace the empty weft pirns or cop in the shuttle and this limited the number of looms, a weaver could operate to about four.

James Northrop, an English man invented an automatic

weft transfer system which replaced the weft pirn in the shuttle without slowing or stopping the loom in 1889.

Similar developments took place elsewhere also, Ruti, a major loom maker of Switzerland manufactured automatic bobbin changing Northrop loom in 1898. After World } ZZ ! overcome increasing labor costs in Western countries.

Limitations of Shuttle Looms Despite the relatively high ! ing, the productivity of these machines will continue to be limited as long as their fundamental constructions involved the use of shuttle propulsion. It is known that the power required for picking is proportional to the cube of the loom speed. If the loom speed is increased from 200 to 300 picks per minute, the power requirement would increase by a factor of (3/2) 3 i.e. 3.4 times approximately.

Was the shuttle loom technology transmission necessary?

The emphasis on productivity and quality has developed the weaving technology very much and as a result the working hours required to weave fabric from loom have been reduced from about 20 to 0.25 during the last 125 years, and in the last 50 years there has been a reduction of 95% inoperative hours per standard unit produced.

Majority of the developments are taking place on the shuttleless looms in the following directions: â&#x20AC;˘ To increase the productivity of the loom. + "

In addition to these, the newer looms are simple in design, the motions are more reliable, consumes less energy and have a lower maintenance cost.

Disadvantages of Shuttle Looms â&#x20AC;˘ Greater strain imposed on the picking mechanism, thus rendering it liable to frequent failure. â&#x20AC;˘ The greater amount of noise and vibration. â&#x20AC;˘ Because of superior energy in a shuttle, greater strain is again imposed on the checking mechanism. + ! control and there will be a greater possibility of its ejection from the loom.

The dynamic problems created by the picking and checking mechanism and the inherent process of pirn winding for shuttle looms had encouraged the loom makers to develop alternative means of weft insertion in which heavy shuttle is not projected forwards and backward across the width of the loom. It is customary to refer these looms as shuttleless looms.

ECOFRIENDLY PROCESSING OF COTTON ABSTRACT: - Textile industry is the largest one next to agricultural in the country where most of the people are employed. Wet processing of cotton required high quantity of water and energy for desizing, scoring and bleaching process. Conventionally these processes are carried by using harsh chemical which is give water pollution. In order to control water pollution enzyme can be used of processing of cotton. At a same time enzyme required low temperature which is give energy conservation. This study is focused on comparative analysis between conventional desizing with enzyme desizing, alkaline scouring with bio scouring, conventional bleaching with bio bleaching and conventional combine scouring bleaching with bio combine scouring-bleaching. So advantages of bioprocessing can be described in terms of ecology as well as economy.

Keywords: - Enzyme, Conventional processing, Bio scouring, Bio bleaching.

Introduction < Â&#x201E; < bre is highly hydroscopic also slightly coloured .In further processing cotton should absorb water to get satisfactory result. At a same time colour of cotton should be white

] Â&#x192; in order to get absorbency and whiteness scouring and bleaching process become important one. [1] Traditionally scouring of cotton was carried out by using caustic soda and sodium carbonate. Both this chemical having high pH and increase load on ETP and because of higher concentration of alkali tenacity of cotton decrease.

Bleaching of cotton also required high alkaline pH and high concentration of H2O2 reduces tenacity of cotton.

To reduce the water pollution in textile wet processing, we have to reduce the use of such high concentrate chemical. Also such chemical are available in market which does " *

which can be used in wet processing is enzyme. Use of enzyme in wet processing reduces the water pollution. Also required temperature is low as comparative to conventional processes hence use of energy is also low. Enzyme "

Enzyme desizing Conventionally desizing is done by using hydrochloric acid or oxidizing agent. These chemicals reduce the strength

of basic fabric by attack on starch as well as cellulose.

Enzyme is the one option to avoid reduction in tensile strength of fabric [2]. Fabric is padded through solution containing 1 gpl amylase and 0.5 gpl sodium chloride at 400C. For this process required pH is acidic (5.5). Fabric is padded by using padding mangle (100% expression) and batched for 24 hour at ambient temperature. The Desized fabric washed twice with hot water and once with cold water and then dried [3]. Desizing by exhaust method is also possible where fabric is treated with 1gp amylases enzyme at 700C for 60 min with acidic pH (5.5) [4].

their structure. Removal of oil fat and waxes become so important to get satisfactory results in further processing.

Conventionally scouring of cotton is done by using sodium hydroxide which is highly alkaline in nature. Along with impurities it break the bonds cellulose causes reduction in tensile strength. Use of highly alkaline chemical causes high COD (chemical oxygen demand), BOD (biological oxygen demand) and TDS in wastewater [5]. Conventional scouring process is commonly used in industry but now = " < can be replaced by eco-friendly enzyme scouring process [6]. Fabric is treated with pectinase 5 gpl enzyme at 550C in alkaline pH (8) for 60 min. this give satisfactory results and absorbency is depend on concentration of enzyme.

Weight loss is less than the conventional scouring which means no strength loss in fabric [4]. Enzymatic scouring of cotton fabric can be done by using various enzymes like cellulose, lipase, pectinase etc. Whiteness index obtained by the enzyme scouring is 8-10% more as compare to conventional scouring also no loss in tensile strength.

Enzyme scouring give less BOD, COD, TDS as compare to conventional process. This method can be used for cotton as well as cotton blends by changing the enzyme [7]. Alkaline pectinase enzyme can be combined with cellulose enzyme to get more absorbency. This process gives more absorbency but decrees the tensile strength of fabric [3]. Advantages of enzyme scouring are less energy required, less water required, low cost of chemical,

" Â&#x201C; Â&#x203A;

Â&#x17D; can be combined with peroxide bleaching which reduce the cost of process [6] [8] [9].

Enzyme Bleaching H2O2 is mostly used as bleaching agent in bleaching of natural, synthetic as well as blends of textile material. Mostly pH of H2O2 bleaching is 11.5 which is highly alkaline at a

TECHNICAL ARTICLE same time temperature required is also about 90oC [10].

In order to save water and energy bleaching can be carried out by using glucose oxidase enzyme which is used as alone or can be combined with peroxidases also. H2O2 generated from glucose oxidases get combined with peroxidases which give better whiteness index as compare to conventional bleaching agent [11] Desized and scoured fabric were bleached by using glucose oxidase enzyme.

The whiteness index is 73% more than scoured fabric.

Satisfactory degree of whiteness can be achieved by using glucose oxidase [4].

Enzyme combine scouring-bleaching Use of ecofriendly chemical becomes so important because of increasing cost of water, energy and environ < Â&#x17E;= cellulose/pectinase in the pre-treatment of cotton gives combine desizing and scouring with better results than conventional and individual process. Glucose oxidase enzyme can be combine with other enzyme to get satisfactory result in bleaching [11].One bath bio scouring and bleaching of cotton give better results of absorbency, reduce load ETP and gives less degradation of cotton than alkali scouring and bleaching [12].Combine scouring and bleaching by using scouring enzyme and hydrogen perox " Â&#x;Â&#x160;Â + ditionally scouring and bleaching process carried out at the temperature 1200C in higher alkaline pH. It took lots of energy as well as water in further washing process of

Â&#x203A; Z energy and water higher alkaline chemical should be replace by ecofriendly chemical. Pectinase enzyme is an alternative to sodium hydroxide in scouring which give same result at low temperature. H2O2 can be replacing by using peroxidases, laccase /mediator or glucose oxidase.

Bio-scouring and bio-bleaching can combine in one bath.

Fabric is treated with scouring and bleaching enzyme at 650C for 60 min. Increase in temperature of this bath give better degree of whiteness. This process leads to less time, less energy, better results than conventional process [13].

CHINA RULING INTERNET SUPREMACY ?

Technology is the need of hour and serving the technology is equally important, Technology is changing every day, innovations are every day achievement.

growth of the Internet. From its origins as a small Pentagon program to its status as a global platform that connects more than half of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population and tens of billions of devices, the Internet has long been an American project. Yet today, the United States has ceded leadership in cyberspace to China. China heading to become â&#x20AC;&#x153;cybersuperpower.â&#x20AC;? Already, more people in China have access to the Internet than in any other country Through domestic regulations, technological innovation, and foreign policy, China aims to build an impregnable cyber defense system, give itself a greater voice in Internet governance, foster more world-class companies, and lead the globe in advanced technologies.

Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued rise as a cyber-superpower is not guar + = = " cial intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, and other ambitious technologies may well fail. Chinese technology companies will face economic and political pressures as they globalize. Chinese citizens, although they appear to have little expectation of privacy from their government,

+ Â&#x2022; may re-energize its own digital diplomacy, and the U.S. economy may rediscover the dynamism that allowed it create so much of the modern worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technology.

But given Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and technological sophistication, Beijing has a good chance of succeeding thereby remaking cyberspace in its own image. If this happens, the Internet will be less global and less open. A major part of it will run Chinese applications over Chinese-made hardware.

And Beijing will reap the economic, diplomatic, national

Washington.

CHINESE VISION Chinese leadership has very clear vision how big a role Internet can play for China. After years of inertia, during which cyber-policy was fragmented among a wide array of government departments, the Cyberspace Administration of China has responsibility for controlling online content, bolstering cyber security, and developing the digital economy.

Cyber power sits at the intersection of four Chinese national priorities. First, Chinese leaders want to ensure a harmonious Internet. That means one that guides public opinion, supports good governance, and fosters economic growth but also is tightly controlled so as to stymie

Â?

that could undermine the regime.

Second, China wants to reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers of digital and communications equipment. It hopes to eventually lead the world in advanced technolo

]

and robotics. Initiatives of innovation and development must be securely kept in our own hands suggest innovators.

Third, Chinese policymakers, like their counterparts around the world, are increasingly wary of the risk of cyberattacks on governmental and private networks that could disrupt critical services, hurt economic growth, and even cause physical destruction. Accordingly, the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liberation Army has announced plans to speed up the development of its cyber-forces and beef up Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network defenses. This focus on cyber security overlaps with Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s techno-nationalism: Chinese policymakers believe they have to reduce Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dependence on U.S. technology companies to ensure its national security, a belief that was strengthened in 2013. U.S. intelligence services had accessed the data of millions of people that was held and transmitted by U.S. companies.

Finally, China has promoted cyber-sovereignty as an organizing principle of Internet governance, in direct opposition to U.S. support for a global, open Internet. Cybersovereignty represents the right of individual countries to independently choose their own path of cyber development, model of cyber regulation and Internet public policies, and participate in international cyberspace governance on an equal footing. China envisions a world of Z Â&#x2021; the sovereign rights of states. It also wants to weaken the bottom-up, private-sector-led model of Internet governance championed by the United States and its allies, a model Beijing sees as dominated by Western technology companies and civil society organizations. Chinese policymakers believe they would have a larger say in regulat

for cyberspace if the UN played a larger role in Internet governance. All four of Beijingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities require China to act aggressively to shape cyberspace at home and on the global stage.

Even Western companies complied: Apple removed VPNs from the Chinese version of its App Store. Beijing also announced new regulations further limiting online anonymity and making the organizers of online forums personally accountable for the contributions of their members. Authorities have rolled out a sophisticated surveillance system based on a vast array of cameras and sensors, aided

telligence. The tool has been deployed most extensively ¤ Â&#x2021; Â&#x2030; " @ Â&#x2022; hur population there, but the government is working to scale it up nationwide.

In addition to employing censorship and surveillance, China has also created an interlocking framework of laws, regulations, and standards to increase cyber security and safeguard data in governmental and private systems. The government has enacted measures to protect important Internet infrastructure, it has mandated security reviews for network products and services, and it has required companies to store data within China, where the government will face few obstacles to accessing it. Beijing has also introduced new regulations concerning how government agencies respond to cyber security incidents, how and when the government discloses software vulnerabilities to the private sector, and how ministries and private companies share information about threats. $ "

" least, the regulations will raise the cost and complexity of doing business in China for both domestic and foreign technology companies. Foreign companies worry that an expansive interpretation of the requirements for inspections of equipment and storing data within China will raise costs and could allow the Chinese government to steal their intellectual property.

Three technologies will matter most for Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to shape the future of cyberspace: semiconductors, quan

J Â&#x201E; jing has tried and failed to build an indigenous industry producing semiconductors, that is, the integrated circuits (or microchips) found in nearly every technological device.

In 2016, China imported $228 billion worth of integrated circuits more than it spent on imported oil accounting for over 90 percent of its consumption.

In 2015, China issued guidelines that aim to get Chinese _Â&#x201A;

Chinese industry by 2025. Since then, the government has subsidized domestic and foreign companies that move their operations to China and encouraged domestic consumers to buy from only Chinese suppliers. The government has committed $150 billion over the next decade to improve Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to design and manufacture advanced microprocessors. China has also acquired technologies abroad. Chinese companies made 27 attempted bids for U.S. semiconductor companies worth more than $37 billion in total, compared with six deals worth $214 million from 2000 to 2013.

Then there is quantum computing, which uses the laws of quantum mechanics essentially the ability of quantum bits, or qubits, to perform several calculations at the same time to solve certain problems that ordinary computers cannot. Advances in this area could allow Chinese intelligence services to create highly secure encrypted communications channels and break most conventional encryption. High-speed quantum computers could also have Â&#x2021;

analytics, and the process of developing drugs. In 2016, < ÂĽ nicate using channels secured by quantum cryptography and constructed the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest quantum communications cable, connecting Beijing and Shanghai. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear how much China spends on quantum computing, but the sums are certainly substantial. It is spending $1 billion alone on one quantum computing laboratory.

More than its investments in semiconductor research and quantum computing, it is Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambitious plans in ar

the West. It is assumed that China will catch up with US by 2025 and they will dominate the industries of AI. China

§

GOVERNING THE INTERNET China has also tried to shape the international institutions and norms that govern cyberspace. For much of the last decade, Chinese hackers de facto set those norms by engaging in massive cyber-espionage campaigns designed to steal military, political, and, worst of all in the eyes of the United States, industrial secrets. The Obama administration pressed Beijing on the subject, publicly attributing attacks on U.S. companies to state-backed hack ! Z Â&#x2019;Â&#x201A;^Â the two sides agreed that neither would support digital theft for commercial advantage. China went on to sign similar agreements with Australia, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. There was a marked downturn in activity in the wake of these agreements, but the decline seems to have been as much a result of a reorganization < Â&#x2022; " Now that the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liberation Army has consolidated control over its cyber-forces, industrial espionage has shifted to more sophisticated hackers in Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intelligence agencies. < ÂĽ "

road for cyberspace have centered on the UN. Washington and its allies have promoted a distributed model of Internet governance that involves technical bodies, the private sector, civil society, and governments, whereas Beijing prefers a state-centric vision. In 2017, for example, China called for a multilateral approach to governing cyberspace, with the United Nations taking a leading role in building international consensus on rules. Beijing

in a series of meetings and reports from 2004 to 2017.

Although in the 2013 report, Chinese diplomats accepted that international law and the UN Charter apply to cyberspace, and in 2015, they agreed to four norms of state behavior, they dragged their feet on discussions of exactly how neutrality, proportionality, the right of self-defense, and other concepts from international law might be ap +

discussing international law would lead to the militarization of cyberspace. Chinese diplomats, along with their Russian counterparts, stressed the need for the peaceful settlement of disputes. In 2017, the participating countries in the Group of Governmental Experts failed to issue a follow-on report in part because China and Russia opposed language endorsing the right of self-defense.

In addition to working through the UN, Chinese policymakers have created their own venue to showcase their vision for the Internet and strengthen their voice in its governance: the World Internet Conference, held annually in Wuzhen.

Beijing is likely to have its biggest impact on global Internet governance through its trade and investment policies, especially as part of the Belt and Road Initiative, a massive "

In the short term, however, the presence of Chinese engineers, managers, and diplomats will reinforce a tendency among developing countries, especially those with authoritarian governments, to embrace Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closed conception of the Internet.

THE FUTURE IS CHINESE Beijingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of the Internet is ascendant. According to the think tank Freedom House, Internet freedom how easily people can access the Internet and use it to speak their minds has declined for the last seven years. More countries are pushing companies to store data on their citizens within their borders (which companies resist because doing so raises costs and reduces their ability to protect the privacy of their users) and to allow the government to carry out security reviews of their network equipment. Each country pursues these policies in support of its own ends, but they all can turn to China for material, technical, and political support.

The United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; position at the center of the global Internet brought it major economic, military, and intel Â&#x2022; and servers that carry the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data, the phones and personal computers that people use to communicate, and the software that serves as a gateway to the Internet. In a similar way, the Chinese Communist Party sees technology companies as a source of economic dynamism and soft power. And so it is increasing its political control over Chinese technology giants. As those companies come to supply more of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digital infrastructure, Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spy services will be tempted to collect data from them.

mobile networks.

Yet none of these challenges is likely to deal a fatal blow to Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digital ambitions. The country is too large, too powerful, and too sophisticated. To prepare for greater Chinese control over the Internet, the United States should work with its allies and trading partners to pressure Beijing to open up the Chinese market to foreign companies, curb its preferential treatment of Chinese

ÂĽ property. U.S. policymakers should shift from simply defending the bottom-up, private-sector-led model of Inter "

developing countries with realistic alternatives to working solely through the UN. Washington should talk to Beijing directly about norms of state behavior in cyberspace.

The two countries should work together on setting global standards for government purchases of technology, determining how companies should secure their supply chains against cyberattacks, and planning government inspections of critical communications equipment. Yet " Whatever Washington does, the future of cyberspace will be much less American and much more Chinese.

Chinese technology companies have several advantages: access to a lot of data with few restrictions on how they can use it, talented workers, and government support.

But the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy of central planning may lead companies to overinvest, build redundant operations,

By opposing this, the leaders of weavers association said, the spinners are rising yarn prices beyond the increase in raw material prices.

By setting up a cartel, the yarn manufacturers, spinners are increasing the prices since six months. This is happening at a time when fabric demand is low. The continuous rising yarn prices have forced the powerloom owner to cut production by reducing number of shifts to save cost.

ASSOCIATION NEWS COTTON ASSN OF INDIA (CAI)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PRESIDENT - SHRI ATUL GANATRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SPEECH ON MOU BETWEEN CAI AND BSE FOR COTTON FUTURES ON 5TH SEPT.18 WEDNESDAY AT BSE MUMBAI. Respected Shri Pashabhai Patel, Chairman State Agriculture Price Commission, and Shri Ashish Kumar Chauhan, CEO of BSE, Shri Samirbhai, BSE and other dignitaries from Bombay Stock Exchange, my fellow colleagues of CAI Board, CAI members and cotton friends, Ladies and Gentlemen, It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all on this momentous occasion of agreement signing ceremony.

For Future trading cotton in India has a very long and rich history. In fact it will be of interest to you all that many of the modern day concepts prevailing in the commodity futures world-over owe their origin to cotton futures trading in India.

Once upon a time CAI (earlier called East India Cotton Association) had a thriving futures contract. CAI was having a trading ring at Kalbadevi Cotton Exchange and it was a hub of cotton futures activity where even in those days arbitrage used to take place with the New York Cotton Exchange.

Our forefathers had perfected and mastered the art of

! the twin objectives that is price discovery and managing risk. In fact, the CAIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cotton Exchange was the largest in Asia and third largest in the world. Sadly it died down because people thought this is just a satta.

I am indeed happy to state that situation today has undergone a sea-change for the better. There are user-friendly policies in place and I believe there will be no better times than now to embark on this new endeavour of promoting cotton futures.

It is really heartening to see that the BSE, which is Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number 1 and the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th largest stock exchange has realized this and taken upon itself the mantle of providing an ideal futures trading platform to the cotton community.

I sincerely believe that this is a landmark development and it will add a new chapter in the history of cotton fu Z greatly from this platform.

This Bombay Stock Exchange all India futures contract will help specially Indian cotton growing farmers to get best rate for their production of cotton as well as Indian exporters and Indian spinning mills this platform will provide huge hedging facilities which is now lacking in Indian cotton future market.

On behalf of the CAI, we are happy to associate ourselves

with this huge initiative of BSE and our endeavour will be Â&#x201E; Â&#x2C6; ! =

economical cotton trading platform which is within the reach of a common cotton trader.

Friends, as you all are aware, CAI is the parent body of 17 regional associations representing all cotton growing regions of the country. As an apex cotton body, it represents the interests of the entire cotton value chain in India namely growers, Ginners, traders, exporters, importers, brokers, mills and service providers.

Z ! cotton bodies. It has its own building in 4 acre land at cot Â&#x2019;Â&#x2019;Â&#x201A; ! its members to provide them a market-place for conducting their cotton trading activity.

CAI has 12 cotton testing laboratories across all major

<Â&#x17D;Z "

CAI maintains cotton grade standards which are universally acclaimed. CAI also provides a platform for dispute resolution. The CAI maintains monthly crop estimates and arrives at supply demand numbers of cotton on monthly basis.

Recently, CAI has decided to set up a farmers training centre at its historical Cotton Exchange Building at Cotton Green and allotted a budget of Rs.1.25 crores to be spent for the purpose within the next 5 years.

As representative body of the entire cotton trade, CAI is interested in promoting futures trading in cotton for the

Z

" Â&#x201E; Â&#x2C6;

futures trading platform and decided to enter into a MoU. With its long and rich experience and long reach, the CAI will strive to serve the interests of each and every segment in the cotton value chain.

CAI will also extend its full cooperation to BSE by making available its infrastructure for use thereof by the market participants. I am indeed thankful to each one of you for accepting my request and remaining present here today at such a short notice to witness history in the making.

I complement the Team BSE and their CEO Shri Ashish Kumar ji Chauhan for their wonderful initiative. On behalf of all my colleagues on the CAI Board, all our members and on my own behalf, I wish the Team BSE all the best and assure them of our fullest cooperation.
