Rationale for choosing Tasar Sericulture
• Important livelihood activity of forest dwelling communities
• Traditional activity: skills and resources available.
• Large domestic and international market
• Huge gap in demand and supply
• Require low investment
Scope for future expansion• There is huge gap in demand and supply in case of
tasar silk production. We can expand till 5times of present raw silk production to meet the demand with domestic Tasar.
• Scope for plantation of tasar host plant at Banka, Jamui & Mungare focusing to tribal cluster.
• Developing the mulberry with irrigated infrastructure with prevailing cluster approach
