INTRODUCTION

Sericulture means cultivation of silkworms which finally produces SILK. The word silk sounds luxury and class. Till today, no other fabric can match it in luster and elegance. As long as human desire for silk garments continues, the demand for sericulture activity remains. Silk is THE QUEEN OF TEXTILE and the naturally produced animal fiber. Sericulture is an ancient industry in India dating back to at least second century B.C. In its long history sericulture has passed through periods of great prosperity as well as decline. Sericulture involves agriculture, art and industry; silkworm rearing is an art in the hands of rural people; reeling of the silk from the cocoons formed by the worms is an industry of different financial investments. Scientific sericulture is the meeting place for agriculture and art, art and industry, ancient culture and civilization, the rich and the poor it reflects the interdependence of these. Silk is a way of life in India. Over thousands of years, it has become an inseparable part of Indian culture and tradition. No ritual is complete without silk being used as a wear in some form or the other. Silk is the undisputed queen of textiles over the centuries. Silk provides much needed work in several developing and labour rich countries. More than 10 million farmers raise silk in China today. Sericulture is a cottage industry par excellence. It is one of the most labour intensive sectors of the Indian economy combining both agriculture and industry, which provides for means of livelihood to a large section of the population i.e. mulberry cultivator, co-operative rarer, silkworm seed producer, farmer-cum-rearer, reeler, twister, weaver, hand spinners of silk waste, traders etc. It is the only one cash crop in agriculture sector that gives returns within 30 days. This industry provides employment nearly to three five million people in our country. Sericulture is cultivated in Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Gujarat, Kerala, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Orissa etc.

In view of its potentiality for job oriented or self employment positions at various levels can be suitable to +2 students after successful completion of vocational sericulture course by providing suitable syllabi with maximum exposure to practical and or field work. With this knowledge and application skills these can enter as entrepreneur or as an employ for effective results in sericulture industry.

SUGGESTIONS BY SUBJECT EXPERT COMMITTEE

COURSE: SERICULTURE

1. Every Junior Lecturer in Sericulture should be aware of latest techniques in all the fields of Sericulture.

For that he/she should keep contact with all Central and State Sericulture departments.

2. Conduct interaction programmes with higher officials of Sericulture department to know available and ongoing schemes in Sericulture.

3. All Sericulture faculties should be trained in Sericulture at least 10 days in a year with the co-ordination of department of Sericulture.

4. Orientation programme to Sericulture lecturer faculty should be conducted one week in a year at A.P. S.S.R.D.I., Hindupur or Bivoltine Training school, Hindupur.

5. +2 Sericulture students in Vocational Courses at Intermediate level in A.P. state should be given

training in Research Institutions for at least four weeks in a year.

6. Regular Sericulture faculty should be appointed (Regularization of present Minimum Time Scale faculty) and provide infrastructure to the course.

7. On-the Job Training program should be conducted in the months of December and January (two months) in an academic year to the first and second year student as sericulture operations are at peak level, because we don’t find Agriculture operations during the months of April to July in a year.

8. Conduct two field visits to the students every month to cover all fields of Sericulture.

9. Identify the State and National level training Institutes (CSR & TI, Mysore, Bangalore, KSSRDI, Thalaghattapura, KSIC, Mysore, Regional Research stations, APSSRDI, Hindupur, Bivoltine Training school, Hindupur, Reeler’s Training Institute (RTI), Madanapalli etc.) and direct the students to undergo the training programmes in interested fields of sericulture (Self employment based)

10. Establish vocational monitoring cell at every D.V.E.O. office in the District and depute one senior lecturer in vocational courses to monitor and identify On the Job Training centers, Industries, Govt. Organizations, various departments, and also to conduct Apprenticeship and Job Melas to the vocational students.
