In addition to these, a separate Project “Quality Certification System for Silk” to ensure quality maintenance at different levels of production process (silkworm seed, cocoon and raw silk production) for production of quality silk of international standard to compete in Global Markets has been made.
As a part of this project, a scheme “Silk Mark” is launched through the Silk Mark Organization of India (SMOI) under Central Silk Board for the products made from pure natural silk and guarantees the purity of silk products.
It also plays an important role in brand promotion of Indian silk in domestic and Export markets. Improving Research and Development and the effective transfer of technology at all stages, encouraging clustering of activities of reeling & weaving and strengthening of linkages between the producers and industry and making amendment to the Central Silk Board Act [CSB (Amendment) Act 2006] to bring in quality norms in silkworm seed production to ensure improvement in silk productivity and quality are some other important measures taken by the Government of India.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Textiles, Shri E.V.K.S. Elangovan in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha.
