IMPHAL, May 4: Only Sericulture has the capacity to fulfill the Chief Minister`™s dream of providing means of minimum income generation to each and every family of the State, Sericulture minister Govindas Konthoujam said today.

He was launching the `Door to door mobile Seri Poly-Clinic under NERTPS, 2014-15` at the Office of Sericulture Sangaipat Imphal East.

The minister said seeing sericulture farmers stand united for development of sericulture in the State is an inspiration for the department.

Stating that he will be visiting the farmers of the State every morning so as to hear the grievances of the farmers personally, he said he will visit the farmers for Thoubal district tomorrow during 6 to 10 am.

Sericulture is also quite eco-friendly during this time of global warming, he said.

All our hills are facing deforestation problems, though they were quite green in earlier times, the minister said.

It is understandable that the people of hills depend on the trees to sustain their lives, but we should also realize that we have made some mistakes and correct the wrongs, he said.

The Chief Minister had recently stated that the government will setup each and every family with means of income generation which can be fulfilled through Sericulture farming only, he said.

In his key-note address, director Sericulture Waikhom Ibohal said the launch of the door to door mobile clinic was initiated to act as an integrated unit servicing an area cluster and can be linked to a Chouki Rearing Centre.

This will encourage private service agents to carry out disinfection of infected farms and supply other inputs to the farmers at their own doorsteps, he said adding that interested individuals including unemployed youth, entrepreneurs will be identified through the local panchayats, NGOs, SHGs and other local bodies to work as agents for distribution of power sprayers, safety equipments and other accessories.

Meanwhile, 12 two-wheelers were distributed to the door to door mobile seri-clinic experts nominated by the department. The experts will visit door to door of sericulture farmers and help them in solving their problems.

Today`™s function was also attended by principal secretary, Sericulture L Lakher and scientist-B head of Taser Research Station Dr Chaoba as president and guest of honour respectively.
