NAGPUR: The State Marketing, EGS and Parliamentary affairs minister while talking to reporters on the sidelines of the "Reshim Divas" said that 揟he state government has doubled the subsidy for farmers taking up sericulture? The function was attended by farmers from all over the state.

This is being done to give a push to sericulture as an alternative crop in the suicide-hit Vidarbha, he added. "Sericulture is a high return occupation. Moreover, along with silk processing it can provide large scale employment," the Minister said.

Under the employment guarantee scheme, farmers taking up sericulture will get a subsidy of Rs 25,000 per acre which is more than double of what they were getting till now. "This should attract a large number of farmers to mulberry cultivation especially in Vidarbha where cotton cultivators were driven to suicide because of poor returns," he said. While a major portion of Rs 15,000 for labour component will be paid at the start, the remainder will be paid in two installments, he said elaborating on the special subsidy scheme.

Patil said sericulture was grossly untapped in Maharashtra with only 9,000 hectares under it while in the neighbouring state of Karnataka it was cultivated in one lakh hectares.

The state has demand for 25,000 metric tonnes of silk cocoons a year and a quarter of it is imported from China. "This year we have a target of 10,000 hectares. A sericulture policy will be framed for the state soon covering all aspects from cultivation to silk production," said Patil.

The effort will be to open a cocoon purchase centre in every taluka. Private players and textile industry will also be involved in the sericulture business to give it a big push by way of the new policy, the Minister added.
