The objective of the visit was to provide students with hands-on exposure to the field of sericulture, emphasizing the biological and commercial aspects of silk production. The team observed various stages of the process — from silkworm rearing and cocoon formation to silk thread extraction and quality assessment.
Experts at the Sericulture Board interacted with the students, explaining the importance of sericulture in rural development and sustainable livelihoods. The visit helped students connect their theoretical knowledge with practical applications in the field of applied zoology.
The Department expressed sincere gratitude to Dr. Arathy Sasikumar for her leadership in facilitating this insightful and educational experience.
