The Hindu Business Line : Central Silk Board Amendment Bill in force

The legislation to streamline the functioning of the Central Silk Board has come into effect from September 14 this year. Earlier, the President had approved it as passed by Parliament. Under the Act, a mechanism would be created to regulate the silk-worm seed under the Central Silk Board.

The Act also empowers customs officials to inspect the export and import consignments. Non-adherence to standards in silk-worm seeds has now become punishable.

The Act is intended to ensure quality standards for production of silk-worm seeds, restrict the output of seeds of only the authorised variety and controlling their unauthorised production and trade.

It would also prevent the entry of untested hybrids from other countries.
