We place professionals in major production / marketing clusters across the state and engage with different stakeholders to build a shared value chain perspective. In collaboration with the CSB and the State Departments, we orchestrate multi-state initiatives to build bridges across and make best use of the factor conditions for the cause of small and marginal producers.

Presently 21 professionals are engaged in 5 states building knowledge and skills across levels. We identify potential candidates for Skilled Extension Workers from among the producers, impart training and provide on-field guidance to build their expertise in handling domain tasks and take them on board as it plans for expansion in near future. We have prepared more than 350 such Skilled Extension Workers “Community resource persons” engaged at the grassroot level to provide handholding support to the rearers on the improved technologies of Tasar silkworm rearing.
