Sericulture in Sindh
Sericulture in Sindh
Abid Ali Khan
ABSTRACT
Till recently sericulture was not known in the province of Sindh, though it has
been practiced in other provinces since 1947. During 1975, silkworm rearing was carried
out on experimental scale at Miani Research Station, which is about 15 Kilometer from
Hyderabad on National High Way. The experiment was executed successfully and it was
repeated more in 1976. It showed that sericulture could be practiced beneficially in the
province of Sindh and resulted in launching of a pilot project for sericulture for a period of
seven years. The project programme was started in April 1977 with the main objective of
introducing and transferring sericulture technology to the farmers.
