Textiles Minister Santosh Kumar Gangwar has urged women in sericulture to make India a leader in silk production. Currently, India is the second largest producer of silk in the world. “Through sericulture, you have been able to provide good education to your children and spend the money earned out of it fruitfully for the betterment of your families. You are role models for other farmers,” Gangwar told 54 women achievers, while inaugurating a National Workshop on ‘Empowering Women through Sericulture.’ They were honoured for achieving significant success in production, productivity and adoption of best practices in the field of sericulture. He assured the women that his Ministry would like to take the development process through participative approaches.
