XII Plan-Project Mode Cluster Silk Development

We have now entered into XII plan period . A Zone wise holistic Cluster based development concept dovetailing with CSS like MGNREGS, RKVY, MoRD schemes is to be taken up to achieve set targets during XII plan starting with Village,Taluk, Distrcit wise State Plan Development Programmes. 

Targets for Mulberry and Vanya silks production have been set and out based on Zones for XII plan. These are to be met with active Management Concepts in project mode with all concerned utilizing backward and forward linkages etc effectively. 

Thrust has been given for BV silk of international 3A grade besides increasing production in Vanya silks. 

The targets for XII plan, I think, can only be achieved through proper expansion of food plants acreage, a basic need/ requirement for silk production cycle, and better management and utilization of food plants horizontally and vertically/ per unit area. 

It has come to my knowledge that Sericulture Industry of India is the largest gainful employment provider of rural people particularly SC/ ST/ Women and BPLs at their doorstep. 

There is once again a scope for non traditional states to prove sustainable profitability in Sericulture to stakeholders where Sericulture is a seasonal activity.

Additions and Modalities to be adopted to achieve set targets are invited from Silk fraternity, Stakeholders and Silk loving/ caring community across boundries.

Thanks and regards to all.

There was a demand to create a blog for CSB officials, I saw in a social website facebook. As Such, it was decided to create a blog for social networking silk platform particularly for silk community across boundaries irrespective of post and designation. Finally, "CSB OFFICIALS" takes a shape, an additional platform, to showcase and share experiences, views, comments on all aspects relating to production and productivity etc. keeping in view of the auspicious goals/ mandate of the organization and usefulness for whole of the silk loving and caring community across globe. 
One can share experiences & views on each of the post published in this blog separately on any of the aspect involved in Sericulture activities relating to "on farm" and  "off farm" including evolving of high yielding varieties to meet out production challenges and its proper propagation at field/ beneficiary level thereafter marketing, value additions  and so on.....

Please start a campaign altogether to popularize this blog "CSBOFFICIALS" in such a way to leave impact on the stakeholders in transmission of latest know how and techniques/ technological improvements in yield per unit area, low cost easily available implements to be used by beneficiaries,  backward and forward linkages to maintain constant flow of information transparently and  coordination in much better way utilizing the most advance & effective tool platform.
