MADURAI: A seminar on sericulture held at Thanjavur has exhorted farmers to take up activities like sericulture and animal husbandry to improve their lot.Inaugurating the seminar, District Collector, Dr J. Radhakrishnan said that sericulture has been taken up on 66 acres in the district. The District Rural Development Agency and the Project (Mahalir Thittam) would extend the necessary help to train women self-help groups in sericulture.

The Chief General Manager of the Indian Overseas Bank, Mr T.S. Sargunapandian, in his address, said that since silk saries were produced in large numbers in the district, weavers would benefit immensely if the farmers in the district could supply silk to them, instead of procuring the material from outside.
