Abstract

Tasar silk sector qualifies as one of the most appropriate agro based cottage industry which provides employment to tribal youth. Tasar culture activity is essentially an agro and forest based industry which covers both agricultural and industrial activity. The activities covers production of egg, cultivation of host plants, silkworm rearing and cocoon production. Tasar silkworm rearing is a traditional activity of tribal’s in forest dwellings of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, ihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal extending to the fringes of Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. To ensure the production of quality tasar seed and their supply to the ribal farmers, Central silk Board has established Basic Tasar Silkworm Seed Organization (BTSSO) under which Central Tasar Silkworm Seed Station (CTSSS) is working for production of elite seed (P3). Further under BTSSO, Basic Seed Multiplication and Training Centers (BSMTC’s) were established  in tropical areas of the country for rearing of elite seed and production of nucleus and basic seed. In the present paper the rearing performance of Daba Bivoltine (DBV) and Daba Trivoltine (DTV) pertaining to the elite seed supplied by CTSSS to various BSMTC’s located in different states is compiled, analyzed and discussed.
