Odisha Launches Schemes to Boost Silk Production

The Odisha government has started two new plans to help make more silk and support the people who work in this industry.

The first plan, called the Chief Minister Silk Development Scheme, will spend Rs 274 crore over five years to make better silk and help farmers.

It will focus on making silk in a kind way, called 'Ahimsa' silk, and help farmers sell their silk for good prices.

The second plan, called the Chief Minister Weaving Industry Development Scheme, will spend Rs 490 crore over five years to help new textile factories and create more jobs.

The government also decided to make some changes to how the fishing service works and approved a new policy for medicines and medical devices.

These plans will help make Odisha a better place for making silk and textiles.
