India, the second largest producer of silk in the world, cultures all the five kinds of silks, namely mulberry, tasar, oak tasar, eri and muga. Indian sericulture today presents a picture of an established, flourishing and well organized industry spread all over the country. Today India produces over 16,000 T of silk annually and earns over Rs.2700 Crores from exports. Much of the progress in the field of sericulture is due to the efforts undertaken by Central Silk Board and its various research organizations.
