Abstract:
The present study is on the nature, problems and prospects of the handloom industry in Kerala. The problems of the industry are mostly in the nature of low earnings of the workers, underutilisation of the existing capacity and low profit in its various sectors. The majority of
the handloom co-operative societies are either dormant or facing liquidation. The income and employment of weavers are so pitiably low that they are living in utter poverty and starvation. Frequent price fluctuations of yarns, dyes and chemicals increase the cost of production and reduce the profitability. Consequently handloom fabrics are not able to compete with mill cloths and powerloom products. Accumulating the unsold stocks in the godowns of co-operative societies and with master weavers has become the practice of the day. Spinning mills in Kerala are producing only lower counts of yarns. S, handloom industry has to depend on textile mills in Tamil Nadu for higher counts of yarn. They create artificial scarcity and increase the prices exflorbitantly. Wage rates prevailing in Kerala are higher than those in Tamil Hadu. So rich master weavers are migrating to Tamil.Nadu and exporting the fabrics. under the label 'Kera1a Handlooms'. Governmental efforts to tackle the crisis by way of rebates and subsidies are found to be futile.

Abstract:
. The cotton mill industry is one of the important medium and
large-scale industries in the State of Kerala. Due to the widespread
development of the handloom industry in the State, there is an environment
conducive to the growth of cotton spinning mills which produce
yarn, the raw material required by the handloom industry. New spin—
ing mills are being commissioned. But the performance of the existing
cotton spinning and weaving mills in the State is not quite satisfactory.
Hence an analysis has been carried out into the profitability
and financial position of the industry in Kerala. The objective
of the study is to make a financial analysis of the industry covering
various aspects such as cost structure, productivity, asset structure,
financial structure and working capital management.
