Growth of Textile Industry in Pakistan
Trade has always been an essential part of the human existence. Ever since time immemorial, with the start of communication; men and women of different color, creed and ethnicity have indulged themselves in the economics of the world and have earned their livelihood from it. Be it the barter system, the Silk Route or even the Great Depression, our existence has been linked with trade. In short this act of voluntary exchange of goods and services has been going on for centuries. The commerce of fabric is no stranger to the Indian subcontinent. Ever since partition, officials have sought a higher rate of economic growth in order to lift the population out of poverty. Rapid industrialization was viewed as a basic necessity and as a vehicle for economic growth. For more than two decades, economic expansion was substantial and the-growth of industrial output was striking. Recent years have seen a drastic change/in the industry; especially the textile sector. At the time of independence, present-day Pakistan had only two textile mills. These units were self contained, having all the departments such as ginning, spinning, weaving, dyeing and bleaching as well as processing and printing. Although the printing of textiles was not as developed in those days as it is now, after independence, the process of developing the textile industry started to pick up gradually. By mid-sixties there were about 180 units of textile bleaching, printing and processing units, mostly situated in Karachi and a small number in the Punjab. In 1968, in consequence of change in the basis of collection of excise duty from capacity to production, most of the mills closed down their weaving sections. The looms which were removed from the mills, were installed outside the mills' premises in units of four, which have been exempted from excise duty. About 31, 000 looms since 1969-70, continued to operate in the mill sector even after a general segregation of weaving. This number decreased to only 9,000 looms in the mill sector by the end of June, 2006. In the non-mill sector, a big majority of the units operate at a very low level, having little automatic machinery. In some factories, the printing of textile, is done by spreading the cloth on the top of tables, while pressing design screens on them - a method which is primitive as compared to the process in use by modern and automated factories. According to estimates, textile finishing industry consists of nearly 731 units, the majority of which are independent and complementary to the weaving industry. About 650 independent processing units are working in and around Faisalabad, Gujranwala and Karachi, in which about 50 integrated units have complete finishing facilities. Textiles and clothing trade is a vital part of the world economy with many nations heavily dependent on this sector for foreign exchange earnings and employment generation. Today, textiles and clothing trade accounts for nearly 6% of total world exports. Many of the least developed-and small developing countries have built a huge dependency on the sector which often accounts for more than 90% of industrial exports and more than 50% of total employment. With increased global competition, many sectors within the textile industry are increasing production efficiency. Research, innovations and development in technical textiles, yarn quality, clothing products, process performance, fabric finishing, coloration technology and marketing can bring significant advancements in the textile sector in order to develop market supremacy. :. Fabric processing is the most critical stage of value addition in the entire value chain. Woven or knit fabric can either be dyed or printed, depending upon the requirement of the customer who is the garment manufacturer. The use of colored cotton being unique and attractive has the potential to become a part of cotton fabric and apparel market. After the abolition of quota regime, Asia has become a hub of textile trade as one of the major exporting countries of the region. Instead of importing yarn from Pakistan as the developed nations did, Asian countries have invested heavily in their spinning industries to produce yarn. Pakistani spinners were caught on the wrong foot as they invested heavily in spinning during the last eight years while their market in countries like Japan, the US, European Union and Hong Kong weakened after the textile trade was made quota-free at the start of 2005. According to recent figures, the Pakistan's textile industry contributes more than 60% to the country's total exports, which amounts to around US $ 5.2 billion. The industry contributes around 46% to the total output produced and exported by Pakistan. The contribution of this industry to the total GDP is 8.5%. It provides employment to 38% of the work force in the country, which amounts to 15 million people. |

Children love to dress up

Children love to dress up
Children love to dress up in pirate costumes. If you are planning to have a fancy dress party for kids then this would make a very popular theme for it. You might think that it will limit things a little by just organizing it around pirates but it will actually prove to make it all a lot easier. Instead of having to cater for so many different things, absolutely everything to do with your party can hinge on the swashbuckling theme.
If you have more than one child of your own then you have already solved several problems. You are not going to have to think of ideas for what your children are going to wear. If you are just sticking to pirate costumes then it will make it a lot simpler. As long as each of your children is happy with their outfit then you are onto a winner.
Depending on the amount of work that you are prepared to do (and if you have someone who is going to help), there are all sorts of activities that will fit around the theme of pirates costumes. As far as the children are concerned, if they are dressed up in pirate costumes then they want to behave like buccaneers.
Organizing a treasure hunt for all of the children to take part in would be a great idea. Kids love things like this and it will keep them all occupied for quite a while. You could perhaps design some treasure maps on your computer and print them off beforehand. They don't have to be anything too elaborate as long as they are going to fit in with the rest of the party. You could even tie them all up with sashes and give them to the kids to wear on the belts of their pirate costumes until it is time to look for the treasure.
Plastic swords are very reasonably priced and would look great when worn with their pirate costumes. It might be a good idea to have some 'organized' sword-fight though. If a few children are left alone with plastic weapons without a little supervision then it is only a matter of time before one of them is wounded... Perhaps, to avoid any squabbles, you can have some proper contests for them where they are able to show off their swordsmanship to the fore.
If you have your children's' party in the summer then another idea would be to have some themed games in the back garden. With a bit of imagination, you can soon adapt some ordinary children's activities into something that is more in keeping with pirate costumes. Perhaps you have a sandpit where you can bury some 'treasure'. The kids will love to dig away hoping to be first to find it, especially if they don't even know what it is that they are looking for.
With a little thought and planning (and minimal outlay) you can easily create a whole afternoon of fun that everyone will thoroughly enjoy.
