INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION
The readymade garment industry is considered an off-shoot of India’s Textile industry which the
dates back to the middle of 19 century. The textile industry is the maximum revenue gathering
industry in the country. The industry can be divided in to two segments, the natural fibre segment
and the man made synthetic fibre segment. The industry even after the introduction of power –
driven machines or mechanical process of button holding, stitching or embroidery, continued to
remain labour intensive and cheap labour is our forte. The overall demand of clothing has gone
up in the state because of increasing degree of industrialisation, effecting clothing habits. The
increasing level of communication leading to increased travel and tourism has in turn created the
demand for both seasonal and occasional clothing.

INDIANREADYMADEGARMENTINDUSTRY

Readymade garments account for approximately 45% of India's total

textile exports. Theyrepresent value added and less import sub sector. India's thrust into
readymade garment production started in the early 80s in the wake of the liberalization,

Readymade garments are India's leading export products and achieved rapid growth in the
late 1980s and the first halfofthe 1990s.

India 's at present a niche player in the low value market based on cotton fabrics and for
seasonal and fashion garments. At his reflects India's comparative advantage in cotton cloth

PROFILE
INDUSTRYPROFILE

The Indian textile industry has a great legacy, which is perhaps unmatched in the
history of India's industrial development. India's textile industry evolved and developed at a
veryearlystage and its manufacturing technologywasamongst the best. Priorto colonization,
India's manually operated textile machines were among the best in the world, and served as a
model for production of the first textile machines in newly industrialized Britain andGermany.
Indian textiles were sought after for their finesse, quality and design.
According, to Chouta-Kuan, theChineseobserver preferencewasgiventotheIndianweaving for
its and delicacy• Prestige trade textiles such as Paola from Patna and Ahmedabad, coast was
sought after by the Malaysian royalty and wealthy traders of the Philippines.
Textiles have historically founded an important component of India's exports. Marco
Polo's records show that Indian textiles used to be exported to China and South-East Asia.
Textiles have also comprised a significant portion of the Portuguese trade with India. These
included embroidered bedspreads, wall hangings and quits of embroidered wild silk on a
cotton or jute ground. The attractiveness of the fast dyed, multi-coloured Indian prints on
cotton (chintz) in Europe led to the formation of the London East India Company in 1600,
followed by Dutch and French counterparts.
By the late 1600s there was overwhelming demand for their governments to ban the
import ofthese cottons fromIndia. The legacy ofthe Indian textile industry stemmed from its
wealth in naturalresources silk, cotton and jute, The textile industrystemmed from its wealth
innaturalresourcessilk, cottonand jute,thetechnologyusedwas superior andtheskillsofthe
weaversgavethefinishedproduct amost beautifulandethnic look.TheIndiantextile industry with
such a great pedigree could have gone only on way from here. But same did not happen,
An End of the Indian Textile Legacy Colonization put an end to India's glorious
textiles legacy. The Britishknew that theycould not compete withIndiantextile industryand as
a result resortedto complete destruction ofthe industry. By1880 the domestic market had
grown to be serviced solely by the British manufacturers: India, once the world's leading
exportersoftextiles, was forcedto become a net importer.Tariffs were keptoutofthe British
market.
One of the aspects of India's freedom struggle, led by Mahatma Gandhi, was to
weakentheBritishtextileindustrybywearinghomespun.Gandhiwasconvincedthatthe

5
textile sector could a catalyst in advancement of the Indian population by creating
employment for the excess labour pool. Post-independence, till about the late 1980s, the
Government of India put numerous policies and regulations in place to ensure that
mechanization did not occur and that labour-intensive textiles were produced, large-scale
production was discouraged by restrictions on total capacity and mechanization of mills. The
labour regulations did not allow capital investment and resulted in high production costs.
Imposition of price restrictions, along with decreased productivity, severely hampered the
competitiveness of the sector.
Till1985,themainconcernsofGovernmentpolicieswerecentredonimport
substitution,protectionofexistingemploymentintheorganizedsectorandsupportfor

discouragement of automation, stringent licensing for organized sector and price
regulationstohandletheshortagesresultingfrom thelicensingrestrictions.Restrictionsof
suchnature onlyresultedinincreasingcosts,decliningproductivityandlossofcompetitiveedge.The
textile industry had to be set free from these regulatory burdens so that it could evolve, grow
and remain competitive in the global market.
India is globally a significant player in the textile sector and is globally the Third
largest producer of cotton and cellulose fibre/yarn. Second largest producer of cotton yarn.
Largest producer of jute, second largest producer of silk. Fifth largest producer of synthetic
fibre/yarn.
"Cotton is one of the major corps cultivated in India. India has the largest cotton
acreage intheworld and cottonisthedominant fibre inIndianTextileIndustry. About 75%of the
total yarn and about 56% of the total fabric produced in India was cotton in 2004-05. Almost
allcottonused inIndia is grown locallyand atinyamount is imported. Cotton textiles account for
2/3rd of India's textile exports""During the last five decades, the production of cotton in India
increased from 30 lakh bales Of 170 kg each in 1950-51 to an estimated 213
lakhbales(170kgeach)in2004-05.Therehasalsobeenariseinareaundercultivationfrom
58.9 lakhhectares in1950-51to anestimated 89.7lakhhectares in20042004. The periodthus
witnessed a trend towards movement of Japanese apparel capital to offshore locations like
neighbouring South Korea.

6
 The 1980s witnessed the incorporation of other Asian countries with relatively low
wage levels like China, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh into
the world garment trade, Between1975 and 1990,the share of'third world' inthetotaloutput
ofglobaltextileshasincreasedfrom18.6percentto26.1percent,andthatofclothingfrom1
1.7 percent to 20.4 percent. Onthe other hand, garment sector has become a growth pole for
economies at lower levels of development like Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka, Indonesia,
India and Thailand.
As the leading sector of globalization, the garment industry continues to increase its
share inworld trade frommanufactured commodities. World garment trade has in fact grown
faster than trade In manufactured good as a whole. Accompanying this global expansion,
there have also been changes in the organization of production with important implicationsfor
garment production in peripheral economies.

with bottlenecks. Garments Industry in India, concentrated in the small-scale sector till few
yearsback, isnowhaving large-scaleunitssuchasReliance,ArvinMills,Raymond's,etc.the
industry is concentrated in a few clusters viz. Tripper, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Ludhiana,
etc. It has a unique advantage of being a vertically integrated one from Faber to Garment.

presence in low value-added items but is yet to make a mark in the high valueadded
segments. The industry is not fully automated and the products are of low quality.
The industry being concentrated in the small-scale sector, they are not equipped to
produce on a mass scale and meet the changing fashion trends the world over. The industryhas
to reduce the lead time required to bring its merchandise to the final consumer. Adopting latest
techniques such as effective supply chain management, e-commerce, etc. and diversifying and
expanding its product range to include high value-added items can make it competitive.
The garmentindustry isincreasingly being governedby ecological concerns.India's
growing, sophisticated and increasingly fashion-conscious middle class forms a base for huge
domesticdemandpresentinganopportunitytothegarmentproducerstotapthismarket. However,
there are many international brands that are waiting to have a share in the garment pie. The
Indian units have to compete with these international brands on domestic turf. With the advent
of Business Process Outsourcing, there is an outsourcing wave in the textiles
andgarmentindustry.ThebigretailersintheUSandelsewherearelookingateverpossible opportunity
to cut their costs and are out sourcing their activities to India.
World's leading garment retailers such as Wal-Mart, JC Penny and Gap are

8
 A new Kurt Salmon Associates Techno Park study estimates that the Indian textiles
sector needs at least S15bn Of investment throughout the textile chain. Indian Ministry of
Textiles said that labour laws are restricting the sector and that changes could increase the
scale of theindustry and allows itto take on the large orders thatmake up 60% of global trade.
The ministry wants to allow contract employment, to hélp producers cater for seasonal
demand, as well as an increase in the working hours from 48 to 60 week, with overtime
benefits.
The whole industry is technologically backward, as a major share of the market is
controlled SSI industries, which in turn affects the quality and productivity ofthe sector. The
Government of India (GOI) encourages the Indian textile industry to upgrade its
manufacturing technologies to remain globally competitive.
In an effort to encourage textile and apparel manufacturers to invest in modernizing
their plants, the GOI realized the need to establish a focused and time-bound Rs 250bn
TechnologyUp-gradation Fund (TUF) under the National Textile Policy 2000. Through TUF,
the government offers an interest subsidy of up to 5 percent. In addition, the GOL offers
incentives such as impon duty waivers for the import of production machinery under itsExport
PromotionCapitalGoods(EPCG). Another important but a delicate problemIndia has to tackle
is to restructure the industry without affecting seriously the majority players, the
majorityplayers, the handloom sector, who has contributed to the industry in a very big way,
The informal sector, covering a wide spectrum of home-based production and cottage
andsmallindustriesinIndia,hasemergedasadynamicandvibrantsectoroftheIndian economy. The
sector contributes around 40 percent Of the gross industrial value added to the
Indianeconomy.Ithasmadeacommendablecontributionof40percentinindustrial
production,35percentindirectexports,45percentinoverallexportsand80percentin industrial
employment. Through over 32 lakh units, the sector provides employment to about 18 million
people. In a labour-abundant and capital-scarce country like India, with mounting
problemofunemployment,thegrowthanddevelopmentofthesmallandinformalsector deserves
utmost importance. Besides emerging as the engine of growth for Indian economy,the sector
helps to achieve important objectives like employment generation, more equitable

for market penetration,andadequateworkingcapitalfinance fromthe bankingsector.There is also
a need for small entrepreneurs to keep pace with the structuraland technologicalchanges taking
place in large industries. They should be in a position to adjust so as to act as service providers
as many larger companies are keen on outsourcing, sub-contracting of a number of job
works/products manufactured by corporate.
For the development of this sector there needs to be a major thrust on technology
intervention in clusters which offers the small units an opportunity and easier aggess to get
acquainted with new technologies. Since 1990, while India's exports have grown from about
USS5 billion to USS17 billion, China's exports have grown from USS 18 billion to aboutUSS
60 billion. China's exports also consist of more value-added products (80 percent is apparel
and made-ups as compared to about 50 per cent for India) and are less quota dependent in
comparison to India. India should increase value addition and creating brands that would
increase the value of our exports and create a unrque positioning for India's products rather
than competing only on a cost basis.
The price points for Calvin Klein collection are about ten times the regular brands.And
compare this to the cost of production of a shift in India (less than half of the price of regular
brands in the Sl 0-20 range) and it is clear that the value of creating brands overshadows
everything else in this industry. Ifthe rising crude oilprices continue to upsurge to over $80 a
barrel, these will add to the already rising input costs to make its global export trade virtually
uncompetitive. Transaction costs in case of textile exports which at present ranges over will
further go up with rising crude oil prices.
The textile sector has not even received 1.5% of total FDI that India attracted in thelast
10 years due to the inefficient operational costs incurred by Indian industry as comparedto
China and other similar competitors. An inflexible labour policy and low application of
Information technology are other issues ailing the industry. In textile industry information
technology helps impart better quality, improved productivity, and savings in spare parts
ordering and even in tackling absenteeism effectively. In items of mass customization,
resource optimization, data warehousing, trade methodology and communicationinfrastructure
to maintain its competitiveness textile industry is no exception to the general trend.
The Indian textile industry today is faced with an urgent need to modernize its
designing and manufacturing technique and make it viable and globally competitive.

Computer Aided Mgt.and role ofITingarment manufacturing inthe areasofpatternmaking and

running an organization is as crucial to textile industry as for any Other industrytoday.

resources department is hr manger, hr executive the different section of human-resources
department (HR department) of an organization performs human resource management,
overseeing various aspects of employment, such as compliance with labour law and
employment standards, administration of employee benefits, organizing of employee's files
withtherequireddocuments forfuturereference. Theroleofhumanresourcedepartment has gone
fromthe traditional 'hire and fire'to an in-depthposition, focusing onanother aspect of the
company like looking after employee engagement.

Not every company understands or values their human resource department. Human
resources professionals are the lifeblood of the company, because their job is to ensure that
the business gets the most out of its employees. In other words, the human resource
department needs to provide a high returnon the business's investment in its people.
RECRUITMENTPROCESS

One reason why the human resource department is important is because they look
aftertherecruitmentneedsofthecompany.Employeerecruitment,whichincludes

17
interviewing and selecting new hires, is typically the responsibility of the human resources
department.

This also includes determining when recruitment is necessary in each department as

well as if the hire is a benefit to the company. When hiring new employees, it is not merely
looking at the candidates' resume, the human resource department also hasto interview them
and make sure that the potential candidates are able to fit with the company's culture.

NEW HIREONBOARDING

Besides the recruitment process of seeking potentialcandidates, the job of the human
resource department does not stopthere. Theyalso look after the newly hired employees and
plan and schedule induction processes for them.
A great induction or on-boarding experience helps settle your new employee in and
avoid issues at the workplace in the future.
Remember that a great induction process may be tedious to plan but when it is
carefullylaidout,it helpsthecompanyinthe long runasthe newemployee managesto settle into
their own workflow easier and even faster.

KEEPEMPLOYEESGROUNDED

The human resource department does not sit around after hiring and getting the new
employees settled into their roles and duties.
They are constantly working to improve the quality of work life by creating and
implementing programs and policies such as personaland annual leave, daycare services and
other various incentive opportunities.
Their job is to ensure that the employees are not finding it hard to come to work just
because their regular babysitter is sick or it is the school holidays and no one is available to
look after their children.
Eventhoughit istheemployees'familyissues, whenemployeesaregivenoptionsand
choices, they would find coming to work with ease; especially when they know their
employers are concern about them as an individual.

18
 EMPLOYEEMANAGEMENT

Another reasonwhythe humanresource department is important is because theyare theones

that keep employees grounded by maintaining employee satisfaction, employment
engagement and even maintaining workplace atmosphere. One can find out the simple and
effective employee engagement ideas that would help the company in getting employees
engaged.
As mentioned earlier, the human resource department looks after employee benefits
and incentives. Employee benefits include offering and processing application and claim.

The'middleman'
When there is an issue that requires attention, who would you go to? Obviously, the
human resource department! At times, theyact as the 'middle man' between management and
employees or even among employee themselves.
They are resolve conflict (possibly quickly!) and manage disputes that occur withinthe
workplace.

TRAININGANDDEVELOPMENT
Training and development is one of the ways to improve the company's employee
engagement. Continuing the education of established employees and constantly upgrading
their skills and knowledge is the responsibility of the human resources department.
Ongoing employee training is vital for a company to maintain its level of
professionalism and skill.
The department normally finds or creates different types of training and classes, such
as first aid courses or software classes to ensure that their employees are properly educated.
Employees and even management needs a refresher course once in a while.
The human resource department works in collaboration with other departments to

achieve the goals and maintain the standards of the company and its value.

employees'database,whichincludesallOftheinformationthecompanyneedsonany and

19
every employee. Personal and confidential information such as employee's contract, job
responsibilities, discipline records and performance assessments are all being looked after by
the human resource department.
This is one reason why the human resource department is important as employees'
information is readily available as and when it is needed.

LEGALCOMPLIANCE

Legal compliance refers to the various labour laws, which is the responsibility of the
humanresource department.Thiscomprisesofinforming (orreminding!) allemployeesabout the
union and state laws on information like break time, lunches, overtime, minimum wage and
even all sorts of discrimination.

The human resource department keeps the company in tune with any changes to the
businesses and government legislative and ruling if necessary.

a contender in its field. The human resources department plays an active role in building
public relations by arranging business meetings, seminars, and official gatherings to assist in

product aesthetic appeal. This includes special finishing to yarn and fabric. This becomes
specific to the product style and could be done before, during or after assembly of the
product.

The fabric may be spread by hand or withthe assistance of machines called spreaders. These
Machines may be mechanically, electrically, electronically or computer operated. The

 CUTTING

The layers are cut simultaneouslyusing machines that may be controlled either manually or
through computer system. Thereis different type ofmachines like the straight knife, round
knife, band knife and die cutters. The height ofthe lay number of layers in each lay, is
dependent on the type of cutting apparatus as well the dimensional stability of the
