Silk production - from worm to catwalk, southern India - 2010
SILK PRODUCTION - FROM WORM TO CATWALK
For many silk - the Queen of all fabrics - spells luxury, elegance, class and comfort.
But for hundreds of thousands of people in India it is something much more mundane but infinitely important - a vital life line.
An estimated 700,000 people are involved in various sericulture (silk production) activities in India.
Half of all the silk produced in India comes from the region of Karnataka where a sub-tropical climate allows for year-round production.
In 2007-08 India exported more than GBP 400 million of raw silk, carpets and ready made garments.
In 2007 alone it produced 18,320 metric tonnes of raw silk, making it the second a largest silk producer in the world.
It is second only behind China, which produced 108,420 metric tonnes of raw silk in the same period.
While the difference is vast, India's contribution is even more impressive considering that much of its production is done using outdated tools or by hand.
Ultimately, however, poor technology and high production costs undermine the vital role played by sericulture in improving India's rural economy.
The Worm
The Silkworm Seed Production Centre in Mysore is run by Professor N.M. Biram Saheb.
He explains that the Indian government pioneered the provision of disease free lays of eggs as a way of improving yields without increasing start-up costs
The practice means that farmers are provided with a steady stream of healthy silkworm eggs.
It is deep in the seed production centre where the 'work' of creating these eggs takes place - in darkened rooms where moths are laid out on newspaper in racks of plastic trays.
Powerhouses of the silk industry they may be, but in reality they are pale weaklings whose only purpose is to mate...

Manilla fibres being combed in a machine by 55 year old Dave Brown before they can be spun and ultimately turned into rope at the Ropery in the Historic Dockyards
The Ropery at the Historic Dockyards, Chatham, Kent, Britain - 15 Feb 2010
The Ropery is now operated by Master Ropemakers Ltd and is one of the few companies in the world that still amke quality handmade natural fibre rope. The Double Rope House is 346m (1135 ft) long, and when constructed was the longest brick built building in Europe capable of laying a 1,000 ft (300 m) rope. Over 200 men and women were once employed but since the mid eighties when the Ropery was privatised and MOD contracts were put out to tender the workforce has reduced drastically.
