Directorate of Sericulture and Weaving, Government of Meghalaya – Homepage
Latest news
Sericulture and Weaving are the two most important cottage-based, eco-friendly industries in the rural areas of Meghalaya. These twin industries portray the cultural ethos and rich heritage of the people of the State. In the absence of a textile industry, Sericulture and Weaving play an important role in producing silk fabrics and hand-woven fabrics of ethnic designs.
The infrastructure of the Department was inherited from the erstwhile Government of Assam, and it became a full-fledged Department of the Government of Meghalaya in 1979. It is the Directorate of the Textiles Department and works in two sectors – Sericulture (mulberry, Eri and Muga silk) and Handloom Weaving – through seed farms, nurseries, training institutes and district offices across the State.
