Assam Sericulture Director Reviews Eri-Muga Farm, Highlights Women’s Livelihood Prospects

Assam's sericulture director visited an Eri‑Muga silk farm to assess its operations and output. The inspection focused on the farm's capacity to expand silk production while maintaining sustainable practices. During the visit, the director highlighted that the farm offers viable livelihood options for local women, who can engage in rearing silkworms, harvesting cocoons, and processing silk. By promoting women's participation, the initiative aims to boost household incomes and strengthen the state's traditional sericulture sector. Authorities plan to replicate similar models across other districts to broaden employment opportunities for women in rural Assam.
