Answer 2

Answer:

(i) Rearing of Silk-worm,

(ii) Collection of cocoons and their delivery for reeling purpose.

(iii) Reeling of raw silk from the cocoons; and

(iv) Availability of mulberry trees from which fresh leaves (the food of silk­worms) can be obtained.

Rearing of silkworm requires scientific knowledge and technical skill. For the development of healthy silk two basic seed stations have been estab­lished at Udhampur and Miragund. Work on the Qazigund Nursery is also under progress.

There are 2,800 villages and 33,000 households in which seri­culture has become an important economic activity. Out of these, 1500 villages are situated in the Kashmir Division and the remaining 1300 villages in the Jammu Division. The area sprawl and production pattern in the state has been given in Table 8.5.

In the state there are about 7 lakh mulberry trees, out of which 53 per cent (370,000) are in Jammu Division and 47 per cent in Kashmir Division. Annually, about 6,680 quintals of raw silk is produced which is approxi­mately worth Rs. 50 crores or 50 million.

Inadequacy of mulberry leaves and damage caused by insects and pests are the major problems in the development and expansion of sericulture. Now the Sericulture Development Department is laying stress on raising dwarf mulberry trees to supplement and replenish the traditional tall mulberry trees. As a result of these efforts, the dwarf varieties have increased substantially in the state. The temporal change in the sericulture develop­ment has been given in Table 8.13.

Jammu and Kashmir: Sericulture Development 1974-94

It may be observed from Table 8.13 that in 1974-75 the total number of mulberry trees in the state was 219,500, out of which 82,600 trees were in the Jammu Division and 136,900 trees in the Kashmir Division. The number of mulberry trees in the state increased to 1,668,000 in 1990-91 and recorded a marginal increase on this number in 1994-95, the total number being 1,685,000.

There is however, a declining trend in the production of raw silk which was 70.5 thousand kg in 1974-75 and 75.75 thousand kg in 1980-81. In 1994-95, the production came down to only about 20 thousand kg. The sub­stantial decrease in raw silk in the state may be attributed partly to the political instability and partly to the inadequate availability of mulberry leaves to silk worms.

The climate and availability of skilled labour in the Valley of Kashmir are the favourable factors for silk production. New sturdy-hybrid species of silkworm need to be developed which can withstand the adverse climatic conditions. Such species of worms enhance the quantity and quality of raw silk.
