Assam Launches Mission to Convert Muga Silk Waste into High-Value Yarn
The Assam government has launched Mission Senehjori to convert waste from Geographical Indication-tagged Muga silk into high-value spun yarn. This initiative aims to reduce wastage, improve resource use, and create employment, especially benefiting the state's sericulture sector, which supports over 7 lakh households. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted that nearly 40% of Muga silk cocoons currently go unused, and the mission will invest in infrastructure to process this waste, enhancing the economic potential and sustainability of Assam's traditional silk industry.
