INTRODUCTION
HISTORY
The archaeological surveys and studies have found that the people of
Harrapan civilization knew weaving and the spinning of cotton four
thousand years ago. Reference to weaving and spinning materials is
found in the Vedic Literature. There was textile trade in India during
the early centuries. A block printed and resist-dyed fabrics, whose
origin is from Gujarat is found in tombs of Fostat, Egypt. This proves
that Indian export of cotton textiles to the Egypt or the Nile
Civilization in medieval times were to a large extent. Large quantity
of north Indian silk were traded through the silk route in China [5] to
the western countries. The Indian silk were often exchanged with the
western countries for their spices in the barter system. During the
late 17th and 18th century there were large export of the Indian
cotton to the western countries to meet the need of the European
industries during industrial revolution. Consequently, there was
development of nationalist movement like the famous Swadeshi
movement which was headed by the Aurobindo Ghosh.

Marketing Mix
The 'Marketing Mix' (also known as the four Ps) is a
foundation concept in Marketing. The marketing mix has been
defined as the "set of marketing tools that the firm uses to
pursue its marketing objectives in the target market" The 4Ps
make up a typical marketing mix - Price, Product, Promotion
and Place. However, nowadays, the marketing mix increasingly
includes several other Ps like Packaging, Positioning, People
and even Politics as vital mix elements.
All the elements of the marketing mix influence each other.
They make up the business plan for a company and handled
right, can give it great success. But handled wrong and the
business could take years to recover. The marketing mix needs
a lot of understanding, market research and consultation with
several people, from users to trade to manufacturing and
several others.
1.Product
It refers to the item actually being sold. It is a tangible object that
is mass produced or manufactured on a large scale with specific
volume of unit. To retain its competitiveness in the market , product
differentiation is required and is one of the strategies to differentiate
a product from its competitors.
2.Price
In case of setting the price of cotton cloth, it is basically set by the
businessman while keeping the demand of the product in the mind.
The demand of these product rise in summer season in which the
businessman get good profit as compare to the winter season profit
margin.
3.Place
In case of cotton cloth products distribution is done basically through
intermediaries i.e. wholesalers. And than the whole seller distribute
them to the end customers or consumer through their respective
Retail Stores.
4.Promotion
In cotton cloth business I find some personal selling by medium and
lower level of businessmen. This contribute a lot in their overall sales
volume. While sales promotion activities are very few.
The following are the main problem which are being faced by textile
industry:-
Electricity problem
Labour problem
Raw material problem
Problem related to the production process
Market problem
Poor technological support
Lack of promotional activities
Less availability of capital or capital sources
Problem of demonetization
o Before demonetization three are working , Now only two
Internal factors
External Factors
1) Structural adjustments: It include social changes. Social
changes such as women’s participation in the labour
force, culture value, are some of the factors that play a
significant role in the improvement of productivity.
2) Availability of electricity
Electricity is only the source by which power loom are
operated. Hence the state government must provided
sufficient and regular electricity at a cheaper rate to the cloth
producer.
