Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Sericulture plays a unique role in Odisha’s economy. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that sericulture activities not only engage the households in rearing silk worms, but also encompasses the activities of reelers and weavers. About 15000 traditional families of Odisha are involved in three types of silk such as toaster, mulberry, and eri silk rearing. The total raw silk production in Odisha is 117.00 MT in which tasar silk contributes more than 90 percent of total silk production of Odisha. Sericulture is run by primary rearers’ cooperative societies. SERIFED, the apex society gives all kinds of support for the production and marketing of silk. Recognizing this important role of sericulture, the government of Odisha has undertaken certain policies to run the department of sericulture under cooperative societies. Sericulture is an important labour intensive sector in Odisha combing both agriculture and industry. It provides livelihood to large section of rural and semi-urban people of Odisha. Sericulture helps in the development of rural people, women empowerment, and increase children’s education
