Solution

Silk industry is considered as a small scale industry because
(i) Rearing of the silk worm is taken up as a cottage industry where a village or few families together are involved in it.
(ii) Silk industry depends on the availability of the raw material, being expensive the demand is not as big as cotton textile so the manufacturing of silk is kept as a small scale industry.
