🧵Understanding India’s Silk Industry: An Overview Let us first develop a bird’s-eye view. India is the second-largest producer of silk in the world, after China. However, it’s the only country producing all five kinds of silk – Mulberry, Eri, Muga, Tassar, and Oak Tassar. Among these, Mulberry silk contributes the most to India’s silk production….
The Tertiary Sector does not produce goods but facilitates production and distribution. It includes services like: And an advanced offshoot of this is: 🧠 Quaternary Sector – Brain of the Economy This sector thrives only in economically advanced regions, where human capital + technology converge. 🚦 Significance of Tertiary & Quaternary Sectors Contribution Description 🏛️…
Cottage industries are small-scale, household-based production units. Typically: 🎯 Why Are They Important? ✅ Economic Value: ✅ Social Value: ✅ Environmental Value: 🗺️ Regional Distribution & Specialization India’s vast diversity gives rise to region-specific cottage industries, rooted in ecology + culture + history. Let’s explore them by region: 🌿 North-East & Hilly Region 🌱 Natural…
Lumbering refers to the commercial felling and processing of trees for timber and wood-based products. It forms the foundational raw material base for the paper and pulp industry, which converts wood into pulp—used for manufacturing paper, cardboard, and other fibre-based products. This industry is resource-oriented and heavily dependent on forest type, climate, transport, and proximity…
