Mizoram Begins Supplying Muga Silkworm Seed to Assam and Meghalaya
Mizoram has started supplying around 27,000 muga silkworm seeds to Assam and Meghalaya to support silk production in the hot plains, where rearing is challenging during summer. The Central Silk Board's new P3 Muga unit in Thenzawl, operational this year, enables seed production benefiting local rearers and strengthening Mizoram's role in muga silk. Initiatives by Chief Minister Lalduhoma and Sericulture Minister Lalthansanga have been key, aligning with central plans to develop Mizoram as a muga silk hub.
