Chapter 20 in Diversification of Agriculture in Eastern India, 2015, pp 225-236 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter argues for diversification of agriculture towards non-food grain and high value commodities, because of its immense potential for income augmentation, employment generation, poverty alleviation and export promotion. Muga silk, one of the three non-mulberry silks (Muga, Eri, Tasar), produced by the silkworm Antherea assamensis, is unique for its golden yellow colour. This enterprise has experienced growing popularity because of its potential for providing high economic return and employment throughout the year.
