In a unique initiative by the Forest Department in Punjab’s Pathankot district, sericulture farming has been revived under the leadership of Mr. Dharmveer Dairu, a 2018 batch IFS officer and the DFO of Pathankot. The department has achieved remarkable progress, significantly increasing silk production.

This strategic endeavor aims to revive a once-thriving industry while also creating sustainable economic opportunities for the local farmers. By partnering with 116 farmers and providing comprehensive infrastructure, including specialized rearing facilities and expert training, the Forest Department ensures a holistic approach to sericulture revival. Additionally, the department plans to provide these farmers with a dedicated machine to further enhance silk production.
