To day large numbers of educated rural youth are migrating to cities in search of work, as agriculture has not been remunerative. There are several reasons for loss and failure in agriculture, proper guidance and right decisions taken at the correct time generates thousands of rupees as income, besides providing employment to several others.
Income generation is the only way to retain youth in Agriculture and today sericulture promises to offer monthly income on par with salaries drawn from private jobs based on the entrepreneurs’ interest and work.
Sericulture falls in to two sections: one, cultivation and maintenance of mulberry plants, the food plant of silk worm; and two, rearing of silk worms on 4-5 tier rack in a well ventilated rearing shed by feeding them mulberry leaves.
Advanced technologies for mulberry cultivation and user friendly, cost effective silk worm rearing technologies are being introduced by the central silk Board for farmers.
These new techniques do not involve drudgery, require low investment, and promise good income. After establishing a mulberry garden and rearing shed, one can take up sericulture for years together.
Many graduates, post graduates, even engineers and doctors especially in Erode, Coimbatore, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri districts are practicing sericulture on a large scale. The central silk Board and the state sericulture
Department are providing extensive support to start sericulture, provide training and extend technical support for those interested in pursuing this line.
