"The present book is an effort to focus on the present and future prospects of the dyeing printing and textile industry. Since, India is one of the largest producers of the textiles, the small scale industries like dyeing and printing serve as seedbeds of entrepreneurship. This industry, being labour intensive, has significantly contributed to the development of particularly the semi arid tract. Where agriculture is not the main source of earning due to the scarcity of water. This industry has provided employment to the people in a large number.
An attempt has been made to the major changes observed in this traditional industry and the factors governing its localization. The behaviour of the firms have been analysed in order to evaluate the socio-economic impact of this industry is leaving on the local society. At the same time, the problems of pollution caused by dyeing and printing industries like the discharge of contaminated water etc. have also been taken into consideration for evolving the remedies to develop an environmentally balanced industrial complex.
The thrust of the whole endeavour is to lay emphasis on the structure, quality, production processes, production, marketing, development and related problems of dyeing printing and textile industry." (jacket)
