Meghalaya Sericulture & Weaving Scheme

The Chief Minister’s ELEVATE program, a flagship initiative by the Government of Meghalaya, is designed to engage and empower the youth through entrepreneurship, positioning them as active partners in the state’s development. This program provides comprehensive support to a diverse range of entrepreneurs, including individuals, collectives, village organizations, and traditional institutions, facilitating the establishment and growth of businesses across various sectors. Its primary goal is to foster employment, engagement, and empowerment among the youth of Meghalaya by promoting entrepreneurship and ensuring easy access to credit through collaboration with various banks as financial partners of the program. To mitigate the associated credit risks, the Government offers front-end subsidies in the form of down-payments and back-end subsidies in the form of EMI co-payments. Through this program, entrepreneurs, whether individuals, collectives, village organizations, various business entities, or traditional institutions, gain seamless access to a variety of schemes via a unified online portal. The program encompasses a wide array of sectors, including agriculture, horticulture, veterinary and animal husbandry, sericulture & handloom, tourism, entertainment, sports, wellness, and any economically beneficial business ventures for the people of the state.

About

The weaving tradition of Meghalaya dates to hundreds of years. History shows that floor looms aka Thain Madan of Khasi tribe and loin looms of the Garos have produced traditional attire worn by our communities. Beautiful and intricate designing patterns woven on locally made fabric are used to produce stoles, shawls, and traditional attire such as Jainsema and Dakamanda. These fabrics are made from hand spun/reeled yarn from locally available silk such as eri and muga silk.

With over 80% of the population of Meghalaya living in rural areas, access to multiple livelihood activities is crucial in improving quality of life. Beyond agriculture and tourism, sericulture and handloom can provide a robust safety net to the rural households. Also, as traditions are fading away there is a dire need to protect the livelihoods of communities, especially women engaged in the sector.

To provide adequate impetus to the sector, “Meghalaya Sericulture & Weaving Scheme” has been mooted. It seeks to address the challenges through an integrated value chain approach with entrepreneurs and collectives as the pivots. The scheme aims to unlock the hidden potential of our entrepreneurs and collectives to turn the tables and place Meghalaya’s Yarn and Fabric on the international silk map.

The scheme will specifically focus on “Eri Silk” as it is an exclusive heirloom and traditional fabric of Meghalaya whose fibres come from the cocoon of the domesticated eri silkworm, Philosamia ricini. It will also extend support to “Muga Silk” due to the unique climatic conditions suitable for the same. The scheme will provide credit linked subsidies to individual entrepreneurs and collectives for setting up of grainages for production of Disease Free Layings (DFL) of Eri and Muga silk worm, spinning/reeling cum natural dyeing units and weaving units. Each applicant can select one of the five options under the scheme. These activities can plug the challenges of inadequate supply of DFL, lack of quality yarn and low production of fabric.

With respect to the above, the government is launching the “Meghalaya Sericulture & Weaving Scheme” to provide credit linked subsidies to the selected individuals and collectives. This scheme will be implemented by the Department of Textiles, Govt of Meghalaya.

Objectives

Enhanced incomes: By providing targeted solutions in the sector, women spinners and weavers can scale up the production of yarn and fabric, resulting in improved incomes.
Generation of inclusive employment: As the sericulture and handloom sector is labour intensive (dominated by women), the scheme will provide employment opportunities for women in rural areas. It will ensure sustainable livelihoods without migrating to urban spaces within the safety of their villages.
Boosting rural economy: The multiplier effect of reviving a traditional cottage industry can be seen through the improved purchasing power of rural households. Revival of natural dyes can provide better incomes to farmers engaged in the cultivation of onion, lac, turmeric etc.
Conserving cultural heritage: At a time when traditions are losing their fight to modern clothing, the scheme aims to preserve the cultural heritage of multiple ethnic communities of Meghalaya including the minor tribes of the state.
