The project “Mulberry Silk Cluster Development”, supported by NEDFI, has made a promising and fruitful start.
We reached out to around 1000 individuals connected to the fading practice of sericulture, out of which 200 farmers were selected for focused support. Through motivational trainings and scientific guidance, they were introduced to improved methods of mulberry rearing.
To enhance their practice, we provided traditional rearing tools like dola and chandrika, along with disease-free high quality DFLs.
The journey has just begun, but the results are encouraging.
With continued efforts, we hope to revive this rich, yet declining tradition of sericulture and bring it back to life for future generations. 🌱
