75.50 g per kg of seed cocoons. This was possible

because of the large pool of Adopted Seed Rearers

who produced and supplied high quality seed

cocoons to the SSPCs. During the current year, 1211

lakh bivoltine seed cocoons were generated by 1069

ASRs which ensured seamless raw material supply

to the SSPCs. The role played by the Basic Seed

Farms in basic seed production was important

because they meticulously implemented the one-

way multiplication and supplied the basic seed

downstream and to the sericulture departments of

various states. The farms generated 71.82 lakh

bivoltine and 38.65 lakh multivoltine seed cocoons.

Going forward, NSSO would like to see more private

seed producers roped in, not only to share the

responsibi lity of commercial bivoltine seed

production but also to support them in their

venture.

In order to monitor the quality of the silkworm

seed produced and supplied including the chawki

reared larvae, NSSO has implemented the Central

Seed Act. The Registration of the seed farmers, seed

producers and chawki rearers, their refresher

training and awareness creation were part of Seed

Act Implementation during the current year.

It becomes my responsibility to thank all the

personnel of NSSO for their contribution together

with the encouragement and support by the

Member Secretary, Central Silk Board which made

the year 2016-17 special. I believe that the support

of Central Silk Board and the faith of the customers

in our product will continue to keep us motivated.

PLANNING MONITORING COORDINATION AND EVALUATION

NSSO is a vast organization spread across ten

states in India where mulberry sericulture is

practised. It has a network of units viz., Basic

Seed Farms, Silkworm Seed Production Centres,

Seed Cocoon Procurement Centres and Cold Storage

Plants, which have been established with varied

objectives such as maintenance, multiplication and

supply of basic seed of authorized multivoltine and

bivoltine silkworm pure breeds, crop monitoring

and procurement of seed cocoons, production of

bivoltine, multi x bivoltine and multi x multivoltine

silkworm hybrid dfls, preservation of commercial

hybrid dfls for periods ranging from 20 days to 10

months, apart from preserving limited quantities of

basic seed and distribution of high quality

commercial silkworm seed to the farmers and to

provide technical inputs. These activities are

planned, monitored, coordinated and evaluated on

regular basis by the NSSO headquarters situated at

the Central Silk Board complex at Bangalore.

Thirteen Basic Seed Farms situated in the states

of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and

Kerala, thirteen Silkworm Seed Production Centres

belonging to these four states, three Seed Cocoon

Procurement Centres in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu

and two Cold Storage Plants situated at Mysore and

Hosur directly report to the NSSO Head Quarters.

Apart from this, the P1 Silkworm Seed Production

Centre situated at K.R.Nagar Karnataka also reports

directly to NSSO HQ. In southern India, 8 Sericulture

Service Centres (SSCs) and 5 Sericulture Service

Units (SSUs) engaged in the extension activities and

distribution of commercial and P1 silkworm seed

report to the respective seed production centres

which in turn are monitored by the NSSO Head

Quarters. NSSO Bengaluru also governs the sole

research laboratory attached to it in Silkworm Seed

Technology Laboratory, Kodathi.

Basic Seed Farms (BSFs) maintain and multiply

basic seed of authorised silkworm races true to the

original characteristics of the breed by following

downstream multiplication so as to maintain

excellence in F1 seed production. These units

generate quality parental seed cocoons and address

problem areas for excellence in F1 production

through grainages.

Seed Cocoon Procurement Centres (SCPCs)

generate / procure seed cocoons as per the norms

to meet quality parental seed cocoon requirement

at SSPCs for hybrid (F1) seed production.

12


Silkworm Seed Production Centres (SSPCs)produce and distribute high quality, ISO certifiedsilkworm hybrid (F1) seed of both bivoltine andmultibivoltine components as per the specific needof the area.

Sericulture Service Centres (SSCs) assist theSSPCs in supply of quality silkworm hybrid seed asper the target assigned, monitor seed crop rearingsat the farmers’ level and also transfer proventechnologies in the field.

Sericulture Service Units (SSUs) assist the

SSPCs/SSCs in distribution of silkworm seed, critical

items, crop supervision and provide technical

guidance.

Cold Storage Plants (CSPs) preserve the pure

and commercial silkworm seed in different

hibernation schedules, incubate and supply the

same as per the due date of release.

13


NSSO Headquarters

While the activities of the units in the southernIndia are directly overseen by the headquarters,those of East and North India are monitoredthrough Zonal Silkworm Seed Organizations (ZSSO)located at Malda in West Bengal and those of NorthIndia are overseen by ZSSO, Majra in Uttarakhand.Apart from this, NSSO Headquarters is involved inthe following important works:

Ø Preparation of Annual Action Plan andmonitoring of its execution

Ø Co-ordinate supply of parental seedcocoons and dfls to different states /other countries

Ø Implementation of Central Silk Board(Amendment) Act, 2006

Ø Implementation of various Schemesunder Five Year Plans

Ø Scientific Advisory Committee meetings andUniform Price Fixation committee meetings

Ø Coordination of Cluster PromotionProgramme (CPP)

Ø Implementation of CRC Discount Scheme

Ø Planning, coordination and supply of dflsfor Authorization Trials

Ø Monitoring and coordination of InstituteVillage Linkage Programme (IVLP)

Ø Coordination and supply of seed cocoonsfor Private Registered Seed Producers

Ø Monitoring of adherence by Silkworm

Seed Production Centres to the quality

management system – ISO 9001:2008.

Although a fair amount of administrative and

technical execution powers vest with the ZSSO

Malda and Majra headed by senior scientists, these

centres are in constant contact and liaison with the

NSSO headquarters.

Zonal Silkworm Seed Organization (ZSSO), Malda,

West Bengal

ZSSO Malda strategically located in the hinterland

of traditional sericulture area of West Bengal at the

district head quarters of Malda, coordinates and

monitors the activities of Basic Seed Farms, Silkworm

Seed Production Centres, Sericulture Service Centres

and Sericulture Service Units located in West Bengal.

ZSSO takes care of Basic Seed Farms by planning the

schedule of basic seed rearing, seed cocoon generation

and the production of basic seed as per the

requirement. The centre also takes stock of the

parental seed cocoons generated by the SSPCs during

the specified seasons which enables these seed

production centres to plan the production and disposal

of dfls, well ahead of each commercial season.

Recently, the ZSSO was moved to Raiganj. The following

chart shows the units reporting to ZSSO Raiganj.

The BSFs under ZSSO Malda generated 22.78

lakhs of multivoltine and 6.08 lakhs of bivoltine seed

cocoons and also produced 1.06 lakhs of basic seed

during the year. The SSPCs under ZSSO Malda

produced 58.43 lakhs of multi x bivoltine and multi

x multivoltine dfls, which is 16.79 % higher than the

previous year. SSCs and SSUs under the SSPCs of

West Bengal distributed a total of 52.20 lakh dfls

which was slightly more than that of the previous

year (47.53 lakhs). ZSSO also coordinated the Seed

Act Awareness Programmes conducted during the

year apart from monitoring the registration of

stakeholders under Seed Act and monitoring the

Capacity Building Training programme.

Zonal Silkworm Seed Organization (ZSSO), Majra,

Dehradun, Uttarakhand

ZSSO Majra coordinates and monitors the

activities of Basic Seed Farms situated in the state

of Uttarakhand, Silkworm Seed Production Centressituated in the state of Uttarakhand and Jammu &

Kashmir and Cold Storage Plant situated in the state

of Uttarakhand. ZSSO takes care of P3 Basic SeedFarm at Majra and the P2 Basic Seed Farm at

Sheeshambara to plan the basic seed rearing and

generation of seed cocoons for production of basicseed. The centre also takes stock of the seed

cocoons generated by the SSPCs for the Spring and

Autumn seasons and enables the seed productioncentres to plan the production and disposal ahead

of these seasons. The following chart shows the

units reporting to ZSSO Majra.

In 2016-17, the BSFs under ZSSO Majra

generated 8.61 lakhs of bivoltine seed cocoons,

recording an increase of 13.89 % more than the

previous year. The two SSPCs under ZSSO Majra put

together produced a total of 17.78 lakhs of bivoltine

hybrid seed, which is higher by 38.37 %, as

compared to the previous year.

The detailed performance reports of BSFs,

SSPCs, SCPCs, Cold Storage Plants, SSCs and SSUs

follow along with those of other activities.

15



The bivoltine production during the previous

five years registered a significant jump as also the

basic seed. The bivoltine basic seed production

increased from 62.96 lakhs to 71.82 lakhs in the last

five years registering growth rate of 14.07%. On

the contrary, the multivoltine seed production

decreased from 60.23 lakhs to 38.65 lakhs in the

same period.

Meeting the seed cocoon requirement of the

stakeholders

NSSO over the years played a pivotal role in the

production of hybrid DFLs by various State

Departments of Sericulture (DOS) as well as the

private Registered Seed Producers (RSPs) by way of

supplying quality bivoltine basic seed cocoons to

these stakeholders. The hand holding of these

stakeholders is continued during the current year also

and a total of 53.30 lakh seed cocoons were supplied

to grainages in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh by

generating in the south, out of which 20.76 lakhs were

supplied to DoS grainages. The number supplied was

35.27% higher as compared to 39.27 lakhs supplied

during 2015-16. Out of the total 53.30 lakh seed

cocoons, the NSSO grainages in West Bengal were

supplied with a quantity of 32.54 lakh seed cocoons

and out of the remaining 20.76, lakhs, 7.60 lakhs and

13.16 lakhs respectively were supplied to DoS West

Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.

Serving the nation as a basic seed bank

Enjoying the status of monopoly with respect

to the production and supply of basic seed in the

country, NSSO produced 11.57 lakh quality basic

seed, which include 8.85 lakh and 2.72 lakh bivoltine

and multivoltine basic seed, respectively and

supplied 6.32 and 2.82 lakhs of these varieties to

Basic Seed Cocoon Generation during last 5 years

Lak

hs

different stakeholders (mainly the States

Department of Sericulture) apart from meeting the

requirement of its own.

State wise - basic seed requirement met by NSSO

NSSO has supplied a total quantity of 8.52 lakh

basic seed to different commercial seed producers

including states department of sericulture and its

own seed production units. Out of this, 5.77 lakhs

were of bivoltine and 2.74 lakhs were of

multivoltine. In the case of bivoltine basic seed (P2

and P1), maximum number of DFLs was utilized by

Karnataka (2.98 lakhs) followed by Tamil Nadu (1.08

lakhs) and Madhya Pradesh (0.32 lakh). In the case

of multivoltine, the maximum share was taken again

by Karnataka (0.70 lakh) followed by West Bengal

(1.11 lakh) and Uttar Pradesh (0.48 lakh).

NSSO being the only organization producing

and supplying basic seed in the country produced

8.85 lakh DFLs of bivoltine seed of which 8.47 lakh

were P1, 0.29 lakh P2 and 0.08 lakh P3. SSPC (P1)

K.R.Nagar produced the bulk of bivoltine basic seed

produce 10.20 lakh DFLs but produced 8.10 lakh P1

layings (based upon the indents) and registered 79.11%

achievement by processing 39.79 lakh seed cocoons.

Cocoon ratio of 1:3.67, percent pairs of 38.06% and

recovery percent of 27.22% was recorded.

Of the total production, 5,80,034 DFLs were

acid treated and utilized for immediate field

requirements. The remaining quantity of DFLs were

consigned under 3, 4 and 6 months hibernation

schedule for its disposal at Cold Storage Plant,

Mysore. The cost of production of P1 DFLs during

the year was Rs. 491.94/- per 100 DFLs (without

establishment charges) and with establishment, it

was Rs. 1,906/-.

A total revenue of Rs. 55,74,078/- was realized

at SSPC., K. R. Nagar by sale/disposal of P1 DFLs and

sale of dried cut cocoon.

Centre for Sericulture Development, Ramagiri

The Centre was established in June, 1983 as

P2 - Basic Seed Farm, with a mulberry area of 5 acres

to meet the seed cocoon demand of Grainages of

West Bengal for production of Commercial DFLs

during Agrahayani and Falgooni seasons.

A total quantity of 1500 DFLs was reared in the

centre against the target of 1400 with an

achievement of 107% and produced 3.04 lakh

cocoons (2.34 lakh (SK6xSK7: 2.06 lakhs & NxCSR2 :

0.28 lakhs) against a target of 3.74 lakhs. Out of these,

a quantity of 90,700 Bivoltine Seed cocoons was

supplied to SSPCs of West Bengal for the production

of commercial DFLs during Agrahayani & Falgooni

seasons. The centre generated 8 MT of compost.

To meet the P1 seed cocoon requirements of

the SSPCs of NSSO, grainages of State Department

of Orissa and the private registered seed producers

of West Bengal, the unit generated 25.80 lakh (3948

kg) bivoltine seed cocoons through Adopted Seed

Rearers and supplied to the concerned agencies for

the production of commercial DFLs.

Apart from the above, the centre was involved

in the programme of bivoltine seed cocoon

generation jointly with the Department of

Sericulture, Government of Odisha, for meeting the

partial seed cocoon requirement of the Registered

Seed Production Centres of NSSO, DOS and Private

Registered Seed Producers in west Bengal. A total

of 30.43 lakh (25.70 lakh in Agrahayani and 4.72 lakh

in Falgooni) seed cocoons (5040 kg) were generated

and supplied to different agencies under this

programme by brushing 30,800 DFLs in Agrahayani

(25800 DFLs) and Falgooni (5000 DFLs) seasons.

Extension Activities

SCPC K.R.Pet is the only centre having a nested

unit i.e., Sericulture Service Centre, Channarayapatna.

During the year, 110815 DFLs were distributed. A

quantity of 81.34 lakh seed cocoons were generated

with an average cocoon yield of 50.00 kg / 100 DFLs.

Apart from this 40375 bivoltine hybrid DFLs were also

distributed and harvested 30552 kg, with an average

yield of 75.70 kg per 100 DFLs.

An awareness programme on “cashless

transaction” was held. A group discussion on

silkworm rearing techniques was also held at

Kodihally village.

SCPC, Kunigal

SCPC Kunigal located in the state of Karnataka,

is a multivoltine cocoon procurement centre. This

centre procures multivoltine seed cocoons from ten

different government cocoon markets. During the

year, a quantity of 61.35 lakh multivoltine seed

cocoons were procured through the cocoon

markets, Basic Seed Farms and also the Adopted

Seed Rearers to meet the requirement of SSPCs of

NSSO for production of crossbreed DFLs.

The centre distributed 9017 incubated P1

multivotline DFLs to 16 Adopted Seed Rearers in 5

villages in Kunigal seed area. A quantity of 36.06 lakh

seed cocoons were generated with an average

cocoon yield of 47.40 kg / 100 DFLs and a pupation

of 94.32 %. Out of 36.06 lakh seed cocoons

generated, 15.09 lakhs was procured for supply to

SSPCs for crossbreed DFLs production.

The seed cocoons generated at the Basic Seed

Farms were also procured and supplied to the SSPCs

for commercial DFL production.

Thus, the procurement details of the unit is

summarised as follows

The performance of these cocoons at the

grainages was good both in case of PM x CSR2 and

PM x FC2 DFL production.

SCPC, Denkanikottai

CSB started an REC at Denkanikottai during

1986 for generation of multivoltine seed cocoons

which was reorganised as TSC during 1990. In order to

intensify the extension support to the seed rearers,

the unit was once again reorganised as Seed Cocoon

Procurement Centre in the year 1996. The centre

follows Adopted Seed Rearer concept for generation

of quality Pure Mysore seed cocoons through its

ASRs which has given remarkably better results. The

highlights of performance during the year is

Ø A quantity of 11718 P1 DFLs was supplied

to ASRs after black boxing.

Ø 9.50 lakh Pure Mysore seed cocoons were

generated through ASRs with an average

yield of 41.05 kg by weight and 34511 by

number per 100 DFLs which is 17.28 %

higher than the set norm of 35.000 kg per

100 DFLs.

Ø 23.47 lakh Nistari seed cocoons were

generated through ASRs with an average

yield of 33.13 kg by weight and 32247 by

NSSO could grow at this fast pace because of the

product quality and greater acceptance of the brand.

This is also an indication of the trust reposed in the

organization by the end user. It is not out of place to

mention here that about 70 % of the country’s

requirement of bivoltine hybrid seed is met by NSSO.

This enabled NSSO to contribute tremendously in

achieving the raw silk production target of the country,

which is a stupendous feat indeed.

Observing this encouraging trend, it was a

timely decision to convert all the grainages to

bivoltine with the exception of Thirupattur. The

effort has indeed fetched good results, which is

evident in the current year’s production. The

production target was initially fixed at 390.00 lakhs,

but observing the potential of NSSO grainages, the

Competant Authority fixed it to a challenging 450

lakhs, which was a little too high, but inspite of all

odds, NSSO managed to produce 430.37 lakh DFLs.

Among the SSPCs, Mysore excelled by

producing 102.06 lakh DFLs – 0.38 lakh single hybrid

and 101.68 lakh double hybrid DFLs. This is the

highest ever production by an individual seed

production centre. This unit has been performing

consistently well over the past few years, as can be

seen from the graphic representation below:

Commercial silkworm hybrid seed production trend at

SSPC Mysore for the past five years

period for this purpose and it has proved itself by

producing the finest quality bivoltine hybrid DFLs.

The unit is supported by a good number of Adopted

Seed Rearers, who generate quality bivoltine seed

cocoons for production of bivoltine hybrid DFLs with

better productivity, as is evident from the

production details in the past five years.

Seed production details of SSPC, Bangalore

SSPC Bangalore also generates and supplies

high quality bivoltine seed cocoons to different

SSPCs of NSSO and also supports private RSPs in

production of bivoltine hybrid dfls.

SSPC Palakkad is the third centre in the south

zone which has been producing a considerable

quantity of bivoltine hybrid DFLs with good

productivity. It has been performing consistently

well over the years as can been seen from the details

below:

Seed production details of SSPC, Palakkad

Apart from the above units, all the grainages

in the southern zone along with SSPC Udhampur

and Dehradun, with the exception of SSPC

Tirupattur have contributed to the production of

bivoltine hybrid DFLs.

Multibivoltine DFL production has shown a

declining trend over the years, as seen from the

table below with the production being sustained at

the five seed production centres namely,

Ramanagara, Dharmapuri, Tirupattur, Hindupur and

Chittoor in the south zone and also seed production

centres in West Bengal of eastern zone.

2015-16 34.22 72.68

2016-17 27.41 78.72

One of the encouraging points has been the

gradual decline of cross breed DFLs production over

the years but the growth of bivoltine production

outpaced it many folds.

SSPC Bangalore is another important unit

which solely produces bivoltine hybrid DFLs. This

centre along with Mysore was identified since JICA

This clearly indicates the shift towards bivoltine

which is more remunerative to the average Indian

farmer, thereby realizing the country’s goal of attaining

self-sufficiency in bivoltine raw silk production.

Based on the conditions prevailing, availability

of infrastructure, trained manpower and raw

materials, targets were fixed to individual SSPCs.

The production targets given to silkworm seed

production centres of southern India were mostly

of bivoltine silkworm seed owing to the growing

acceptance for bivoltine sericulture and also the

expertise available in large scale commercial

bivoltine loose egg production.

Out of the total target of 450 lakh DFLs for the

year under report, 350 lakh was bivoltine and 100

lakh was multi x bivoltine hybrids DFLs. Out of this,

the seed production centres situated in the southern

India were assigned a target of 336.50 lakh DFLs

which amounts to 74.78 % of the total production

target. Against this, the southern seed production

centres produced 353.94 lakh DFLs registering an

achievement of 105.18 %. Most importantly, 324.71

lakh DFLs of the total production of the southern

centres was bivoltine hybrids amounting to an

impressive 91.74 %. This is considered very important

assuming the leadership role NSSO takes in bivoltine

seed production. The data presented show that the

seed production centres in Karnataka lead the pack

with a production of 256.10 lakh DFLs. The six seed

production centres put together had a target of 228

lakh DFLs, and the achievement was 112.32 %.

The three seed production centres situated in

Tamil Nadu produced a total of 38.50 lakh DFLs

against the target of 41 lakhs, achieving 93.91 % of

the target and in case of the production centres in

Andhra Pradesh who clocked the total production

figure of 31.93 lakh DFLs against the target of 37

lakhs. The lone seed production centre in Kerala

which produces only bivoltine silkworm seed

produced 27.41 lakhs against the target of 30.50

lakh DFLs. The Palakkad production centre hardly

finds a buyer in the home state since commercial

sericulture is yet to be popular there but all its DFLs

go places all over the country.

It can be seen from the data presented that

the total cross breed DFLs production was 87.66

lakhs, with the share of West Bengal being 66.66 %

and the remaining being that of the southern states.

While the seed produced in the southern centres

was mostly of improved cross breed such as PM x

CSR2 or PM x FC2 that of eastern India was

predominantly, Nistari x Bivoltine. This cross breed

also finds market in Uttar Pradesh and some other

north eastern states. Due to various hassles, the

West Bengal production could reach only about

72.13 %. The northern seed production centres such

as that situated in Udhampur of Jammu and Kashmir

and Dehradun in Uttarakhand produces only

bivoltine hybrid dfls by identifying sufficient number

of bivoltine P1 seed rearers and adopting them.

DFLs production vis-a-vis that of previous year

The production figures of the year under report

deserve an examination in comparison with that of

the year just passed by to genuinely understand the

trend. Since almost all the seed production centres

were asked to concentrate more on bivoltine seed

production, there is a welcome trend of sharp

decline in cross breed seed production on a year -

on-year basis. But there was a substantial jump YoY,

in the case of bivoltine seed production and hence

in the overall production as well. Among the seed

production centres in the southern states, SSPC

Chittoor recorded the highest, YoY increase with a

percentage increase of about 23.67 followed by

SSPC, Mysore with 10.84 % increase. Substantial

jump was also recorded by SSPCs Ramanagara,

Dharmapuri and Hindupur. In the eastern zone, the

highest YoY increase was recorded by SSPC Raiganj

with 35.09 % , followed by Dakshinbhavanipur with

18.44%. In the northern zone, SSPC Udhampur

recorded highest YoY increase of 43.77%.

Bivoltine hybrid si lkworm seed production

dynamics

The silkworm seed production centres of NSSO

mainly produce CSR hybrids i.e., CSR2 x CSR4 and

its reciprocal. Of late, the tetra parental bivoltine

hybrids popularly known as double hybrids have

become popular in India and majority of our

production comprises of double hybrid DFLs. The

acceptance of the popular hybrid, CSR2 x CSR4 has

started diminishing gradually. It is quite obvious

from the data that while the seed of CSR2 x CSR4

and its reciprocal produced was only 7.32 lakhs, that

of double hybrid was 308.84 lakhs. 8.97 lakhs of

SK6 x SK7, 12.03 lakhs of traditional hybrids in the

north zone and 5.58 lakh of new hybrids was also

produced by the seed production centres of

southern zone. SSPC Vijayapura recorded the

highest egg productivity (egg recovery) in CSR2 x

CSR4 with 67.19 g per kg of seed cocoons and that

in double hybrid, SSPC Mysore recorded the highest

productivity of 79.24 g per kg of seed cocoons. In

the case of SK6 x SK7, the recovery was highest in

SSPC, Palakkad with 67.29 g followed by SSPC

Dharmapuri with 65.38 g per kg of seed cocoons.

This new hybrid has become popular in the eastern

and north eastern India. The production efficiency

in the seed production centres of eastern and

northern India was relatively low primarily because

of the low quality of the seed cocoons available.

Overall, the seed production centres utilized a little

over 10.10 crores of bivoltine seed cocoons for

production of bivoltine hybrid DFLs, amounting to

approximately 1.61 lakh kg of cocoons. This has

resulted in the production of 342.73 lakh bivoltine

hybrid DFLs with an overall recovery of 74.40 g per

kg of seed cocoons.

Production dynamics of Multi x Bivoltine and

Multi x Multivoltine hybrid silkworm seed

The SSPCs also produced a considerable

quantity of multi x bivoltine and multi x multivoltine

hybrid DFLs. In southern India the prominent

combinations commercially produced are PM x

CSR2 and PM x FC2. The DFLs of these combinations

are also utilized in other parts of the country. The

combinations utilized commercially in the eastern

part of the country i.e., in West Bengal are Nistari x

(SK6 x SK6) during the favorable seasons and Nistari

x M12(W) during the unfavourable seasons.

Seven southern seed production centres put

together prepared a total of 8.08 lakh of DFLs of

PM x CSR2 with an average recovery of 24.96 %.

For this, 32.38 lakh Pure Mysore seed cocoons and

14.13 lakh CSR2 seed cocoons were utilized

following the male female ratio almost as per the

norms. Among the seed production centres, SSPC

Chintamani recorded the maximum recovery of

31.92 %, but the maximum number of DFLs was

produced by SSPC, Ramanagaram (4.29 lakh).

The PM x FC2 DFLs produced was relatively

more and pegged at 9.15 lakhs. For this, 30.53 lakhs

of Pure Mysore seed cocoons and 11.42 lakh FC2

seed cocoons were utilized. This gives a clear

indication, that the FC2 seed cocoons utilized was

far below the norms indicating higher efficiency of

FC2 males compared to CSR2 males in cross breed

DFL production. This can also be seen in the centre-

wise data of the ratio of bivoltine and multivoltine

seed cocoons used. The DFLs recovery in PM x FC2

was also more compared to that of PM x CSR2. The

average recovery recorded was 29.98 %. SSPC,

Thirupathur recorded the highest recovery among

the centres (32.07%) but the highest production was

by SSPC Ramanagaram again. (4.11 lakhs).

Performance of Pure Mysore Seed Cocoons

The SSPCs of NSSO involved in the production

of PM x CSR2 and PM x FC2 DFLs, procure the Pure

Mysore seed cocoons from different sources. Two

major Pure Mysore seed cocoon procurement

centres are situated at Kunigal in Karnataka and at

Denkanikottai in Tamil Nadu. These centres procure

cocoons from Adopted Seed Rearers directly

through the designated government regulated seed

cocoon markets. Apart from these, SSPC,

Madanapalle has its own Pure Mysore ASRs in the

Punganur seed area in Andhra Pradesh. The

multivoltine Basic Seed Farms also generate a

considerable quantity of Pure Mysore seed cocoons

which are eventually procured by the SSPCs. At

times, PM seed cocoons are also procured from

Department of Sericulture sources of the state

government. To assess the performance of the PM

seed cocoons across all the sources in relation to

seed production, a fair comparison was made and

it was revealed that PM seed cocoons procured from

the ASRs of Punganur area performed the best with

an average recovery of 32.22 % followed by that of

the Basic Seed Farms of NSSO, with 29.74%.

Details of Bivoltine hybrid combinations produced

and SSPCs involved

In southern India and in many other parts of

India, the popular bivoltine hybrid combinations for

commercial use are CSR2 x CSR4, its reciprocal, FC1x FC2 and its reciprocal. Its seen from the data

provided that six leading seed production centres

are predominantly from Karnataka. Apart from this,SSPCs Hosur and Dharmapuri in Tamilnadu,

Madanapalle and Palakkad in Andhra Pradesh and

Kerala and Dehradun and Udhampur in the northwere involved only in the production of FC1 x FC2

and its reciprocal. During the year, SSPCs

Ramanagara, Hindupur and Chittoor were newplayers in production of double hybrid DFLs. But

many of these seed production centres in the south

were actively involved in the production of SK6 xSK7 which are commercially exploited in the East

and North East India. Some of the SSPCs were

assigned production of new hybrid combinationmainly used for authorization trials etc. In total,

during the year, the SSPCs of NSSO produced DFLs

of 18 new hybrid combinations majority of whichare in the process of large scale testing in the field

before launching for their commercial exploitation.

Details of Multi x Bivoltine and Multi x Multivoltinehybrid combinations produced and SSPCs involved

Unlike in the case of Bivoltine hybridcombinations, the multi x bivoltine and multi xmultivoltine combinations exploited in India as ofnow are only nine. Out of these, at least fivecombinations are still in the testing stage. Thecommercially exploited combinations also includethe popular multi x multivoltine hybrid combination,

Nistari x M12W, popular in West Bengal especiallyfor rearing during the unfavourable seasons. Whlethe seed production centres in West Bengal wereinvolved in the production of only two combinationssuch as Nistari x (SK6 x SK7) and Nistari x M12W,those in the southern India namely, Ramanagaram,Dharmapuri, Tirupathur, Chittoor, Hindupur, andMadanapalle, were more flexible and produced

quite a few combinations.

Combination-wise Multi-Bivoltine Hybrid Production at SSPCs of NSSO

Production details of new Bivoltine and Multi x

Bivoltine hybrids

NSSO is committed to cooperate closely with

various research institutes so that the promising

silkworm hybrid combinations can be tested on large

scale in various parts of the country. NSSO agreed to

supply the required quantity of hybrid seed after

procuring the P1 seed from the respective research

institutes and generating the seed cocoons on its own.

The data show that close to 5.58 lakh DFLs of nine

new bivoltine hybrid combinations were produced

during the year in eight seed production centres at an

average recovery of 63.99 g/kg of seed cocoons.

Supply of Bivoltine, multi x bivoltine and multi x

multivoltine hybrids DFLs to various states by the

SSPCs

The data provided overleaf makes it amply

clear that the DFLs produced by the SSPCs are sold

all across the country to various states regardless

of the production centres. In the case of bivoltine

hybrids, it is clear that Karnataka was the major

consumer of the DFLs of NSSO. About 1.43 crores

of dfls was consumed by Karnataka and all leading

seed production centres supplied the dfls to

Karnataka. While Andhra Pradesh consumed 35.32

lakhs of bivoltine DFLs, Telangana state consumed

Production details of New Bivoltine Hybrid DFLs

1.66 lakh DFLs. The other states namely, Tamil Nadu,

Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, consumed

considerable quantities in range of 11~13 lakh DFLs.

Jammu and Kashmir and Uttar Pradesh in North

India also consumed substantial quantities of DFLs

(12.21 and 13.57 lakhs respectively) from NSSO.

Nepal’s indent of 20000 DFLs was also fulfilled by

SSPC Bangalore. It can be seen that in total, 270.42

lakh DFLs produced by the SSPCs of NSSO was

utilized for commercial exploitation by various

states. Among the seed production centres, SSPC

Mysore supplied the highest quantity of DFLs (84.69

lakhs) followed by SSPC Bangalore (45.47 lakhs).

The prime mandate of NSSO is the production

and distribution of high quality commercial silkworm

hybrid seed apart from maintaining, multiplying and

supplying basic seed. The onus of hybrid seed

production and supply vests on the Silkworm Seed

Production Centres situated mainly in the southern,

eastern and northern India. NSSO has a total of 20

Silkworm Seed Production Centres for hybrid seed

production and one centre for parent seed

production situated at K. R. Nagar, Karnataka. The

performance of each of these commercial silkworm

seed production centres is detailed below.

SSPC, Bengaluru

SSPC, Bengaluru, one of the oldest silkworm

seed production centres was established in the year

1978-79 in close vicinity of the Central Silk Board

Head Quarters. The centre was originally set up as

a bivoltine silkworm seed production centre under

the National Silkworm Seed Project (NSSP). The

Bangalore bivoltine silkworm seed production

centre was given a facelift in the year 1981-82 and

further upgraded in 1993 as a model seed

production centre under the World Bank aided

National Sericulture Project for exclusive production

of quality bivoltine DFLs.

SSPC, Bengaluru, a model resource centre for

imparting training in large scale bivoltine loose egg

production, is one of the first production centres

along with SSPC Mysuru to be awarded ISO

9001:2008 Quality Management System.

Along with production of high quality bivoltine

hybrid silkworm seed, SSPC Bengaluru coordinates

distribution of bivoltine hybrid DFLs of not only own

source, but also that of different SSPCs. It takes

ample care to supply the seeds in incubated and

black-boxed condition to chawki rearing centres and

farmers. More importantly, the SSPC is involved in

the large scale generation of bivoltine parent seed

cocoons through Adopted Seed Rearers (ASRs).

Major Achievements

SSPC Bengaluru recorded the highest ever

production of 59.45 lakh bivoltine commercial

hybrid DFLs. This was recorded against the target

of 55.00 lakh set for the year. This was an excellent

achievement of 108.09 %, registering a marginal

increase over the previous year’s production of

59.36 lakh DFLs. Egg productivity being an important

parameter of production efficiency is read along

with production numbers. Against the standard

norm of 65 gram per kg seed cocoons, the centre

could record an egg recovery of 78.09 g / kg of seed

cocoons. SSPC Bengaluru concentrated mostly on

the production of double hybrid seed since there

has been a gradual shift from bi-parental bivoltine

sericulture in India to tetra-parental bivoltine

sericulture due to obvious advantages.

The success of the bivoltine seed production

centres depends largely on the quality of seed

rearers it adopts and the success of seed crop rearing

they conduct consistently. Bengaluru has 130 such

Adopted Seed Rearers (ASRs) spread in Attibele and

Tumkur areas to generate P1 seed cocoons for the

production of the commercial hybrid seed. By doing

so Bengaluru generates the seed cocoons not only

to meet its own requirement, but for other seed

production centres as well. During the year, the

centre distributed all the P1 DFLs in incubated and

black-boxed condition to the Adopted Seed Rearers

through Extension units working under the centre.

By this, the centre generated 2.52 crore bivoltine

seed cocoons in total of which 162.70 lakh cocoons

were utilized for own production and 89.09 lakh

cocoons were supplied to other SSPCs. Apart from

this, 29.73 lakh seed cocoons was supplied to

different agencies including private registered seed

producers as listed below:

SSPC Bengaluru takes a leadership position in

the distribution of hybrid silkworm seed. The centre

distributed 71.24 lakh bivoltine hybrids during the

year, out of which 45.46 lakh DFLs were of own

source and 25.78 lakh of other SSPCs. It is also to

highlight that, out of the total distribution, 35.10

lakh bivoltine hybrid DFLs was distributed through

Chawki Rearing Centres.

SSPC Bengaluru also produced new hybrids as

and when required to support the popularization

initiatives of the institutes. Accordingly, 0.48 lakh

DFLs of G11 x G19 hybrids, 0.47 lakh DFLs of

BCon1 x BCon4 and 0.73 lakh of CSR16 x CSR17 and

its reciprocal were produced.


There are six Sericulture Service Centres/

Sericulture Service Units under SSPC Bengaluru

which support the centre in distribution of P1 and

hybrid seed. These SSCs and SSUs distributed a total

of 32.74 lakh DFLs during the year registering

impressive performances as detailed below:

Among the Sericulture Service Centres the

performance of Shri K. N. Nandi, Tech. Asst. of SSC

Haveri was outstanding with close to 216.60%

achievement which is highly appreciated. Similarly,

among Sericulture Service Units, the performance of

Ms.Anupama Barambe, Technical Assistant with an

achievement of 149.50 % distributing 7.78 lakh DFLs

against the set target of 5.20 lakhs is truly appreciable.

Human Resource Development

SSPC Bengaluru attaches a lot of importance

to generation of trained manpower in silkworm seed

production. As a true reflection of its commitment,

the centre imparted training to 72 persons in

bivoltine hybrid seed production and other trainings

as documented below:

SSPC, Chintamani

SSPC Chintamani has been functioning since1983. The centre got its own buildings in 1995 which

was built on the out-skirts of the Chintamani town.Ever since its inception, it has been playing a veryvital role in the production and supply of DFLs notonly to the sericulturists of the Kolar district of

Karnataka state but also to the bordering area ofAndhra Pradesh state. SSPC Chintamani has beenimplementing the ‘Quality Management System”under ISO 9001:2008,

SSPC Chintamani now falls in the newly formedChikkaballapura district which was carved out taking

away the Chintamani and Sidlagatta taluks of Kolardistrict and merging it with Chikaballapura.However, the command area of the unit is stilllargely located in Kolar district.

The sericulture activity in Kolar district is widespread and well established. Apart from silkwormseed production centres of NSSO, other agencies

i.e., DOS and private Registered Seed Producers(RSPs) are active in the field in this area.Interestingly, more than 80% of the district’srequirement of DFLs is met by RSPs who play a

dominant role in cross breed silkworm seedproduction and supply.

The sericulturists in the district are highlytraditional, sensitive and meticulous in planningtheir rearing practices, economics etc. The conceptof the chawki rearing is also wide spread and many

CRCs under private sector are functioning, majorityhaving linkage with RSPs.

Performance in silkworm seed production and

distribution

Against the target of 25.00 lakh DFLs, the unit

produced 21.95 lakh DFLs with an achievement of87.82%. The total production includes a quantity of2.01 lakhs of single hybrids, 19.22 lakhs of doublehybrids, 0.56 lakhs of new hybrids and 0.16 lakh

cross breed DFLs. To ensure continuous availability

of quality raw materials for the production of DFLs,

the centre generated 58.50 lakhs bivoltine P1

cocoons locally through ASRs. The mother moth

testing was followed meticulously and no incidence

of pebrine was noticed. SSPC Chintamani recorded

a very healthy egg recovery of 64.77 g/kg in single

and 73.25g in double hybrid DFLs respectively, which

is as per the set norms and industry standard.

The centre supplied 15.86 lakh double hybrid

DFLs and 0.16 lakh cross breed through the SSC and

SSUs attached to it and 85% of the DFLs was

supplied after proper incubation.


SSPC Chintamani imparted refresher training

to 25 Adopted Seed Farmers and 12 Registered Seed

Producers in seed production technology. Apart

from this, practical Training was imparted on “Large

Scale Production of Commercial Silkworm Seed” to

the final year B.Sc.,(Seri.) students of Sericulture

College (UAS), Chintamani for a fortnight.

SSPC, Mysore

SSPC, Mysore, was established in the Garden

City of Mysore in the year 1978 and has been

continuously catering to the whole country for its

requirement of bivoltine and multi x bivoltine hybrid

DFLs. The major role of the center is production of

high quality commercial bivoltine silkworm single

and double hybrid DFLs and its distribution. For this,

the centre generates quality silkworm seed cocoons

through the ASRs and fully utilizes for its own

production. SSPC Mysore provides technical inputs

to the chawki rearing centres and farmers through

the extension staff placed in the SSCs and SSUs

attached to it, apart from the supply of incubated

and black boxed DFLs to the chawki rearing centers

of southern India. The centre also supplies

commercial hybrid DFLs to other states such as

Maharashtra , Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand

Jammu & Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh and also to North

Eastern States. The center is also involved in transfer

of the latest technologies, testing and introduction

of new races evolved by the Research Institutes of

Central Silk Board to the field, which in turn

improves the productivity level per unit area and

raw silk production. The center is ISO (9001:2008)

certified unit which is constantly striving towards

continuous improvement of the quality seed

production through Quality Management System.

Performance in silkworm seed production anddistribution

SSPC Mysore distributed 76065 bivoltine P1 DFLsto 91 ASRs and generated 3.11 crore of P1 seedcocoons. Out of this, 2.96 crores of seed cocoons wereused for bivoltine seed production and also supportedother Silkworm Seed Production Centres under NSSOby supplying 17.25 lakh bivoltine seed cocoons.

The centre has created history in NSSO, havingthe unique distinction of being the only unit whichproduced the highest quantum of 102.06 lakh DFLs,against the target of 75 lakhs, achieving 136.08% ofthe target.

It was a matter of great pride that SSPC,Mysore could produce a whopping 102,05,900hybrid DFLs during the year under report. This is anall time high and record production by any singlesilkworm seed production unit in the country. Outof the total production, 0.38 lakh was single hybridand 101.68 lakhs was double hybrid DFLs. It isworthwhile to mention that the center recorded thehighest production ever in the history of NSSO,coupled with a high recovery of 79.24 g/kg ofcocoons for bivoltine seed production. There wasno crossbreed DFL production during the year.

The centre distributed 84,68,650 bivoltine hybridDFLs of own source and 4,16,350 DFLs of other SSPCsduring the year, apart from 38345 crossbreed DFLs.SSC Chamarajnagar, SSUs Nanjangud and Pandavapurathe nested units of SSPC Mysore assisted in distributing6.98 lakh DFLs. Out of this, SSU Pandavapuraperformed commendably well by distributing 6.16 lakhDFLs against a target of 5.94 lakhs. A quantity of 67.76lakh DFLs were distributed through Chawki RearingCenters under CRC discount scheme

The center trained 107 ASRs on newtechnologies for harvesting stable cocoon crop anda sum of Rs.6.48 crores was generated as revenueduring the year under report.

SSPC, Malavalli

Until the year 2013, SSPC Malavalli was involvedin the production and distribution of crossbreed DFLs.To meet the growing demand of bivoltine hybrid DFLs,it was converted to bivoltine grainage from 2014 andsince then it has started production and also disposalof bivoltine hybrid DFLs not only to the local farmersbut the farmers of other states.

SSPC, Malavalli produced a total of 30.00 lakhDFLs against the target of 31.00 lakhs. Out of this,

29.82 lakhs was bivoltine hybrids (1.18 lakh - single

hybrid and 28.65 lakhs – double hybrid) and the

remaining 0.18 lakh was multi x bivoltine hybrids.

The centre registered an egg recovery of 73.82 g/

kg, which is an increase of 13.66 % over that of the

previous year. This centre could achieve the higher

production mainly because of generation and

procurement of high quality P1 bivoltine seed

cocoons through its own Adopted Seed Rearers.

During the year, 23, 30, 900 bivoltine hybrids and

18,200 crossbreed DFLs were distributed. It is added

that, a quantity of 13.94 lakh DFLs was distributed

under CRC discount scheme of NSSO.

SSPC, Malavalli started incubation and black

boxing of the DFLs at the unit and was a successful to

a huge extent with an average hatching of > 98.00 %.

ASR seed cocoon generation

The unit has 27 Adopted Seed Rearers through whom

quality bivoltine seed cocoons are generated. During the

year 98,86,529 bivoltine seed cocoons were generated/

procured for production of bivoltine hybrid DFLs.


SSPC Malavalli is one of the designated centres

to implement Cluster Promotion Programme and it

oversees the development of Gajanur Cluster. In

this cluster, against a target of 1.50 lakh bivoltine

hybrid DFLs, a quantity of 1,97,485 DFLs were

distributed. The average cocoon yield per 100 DFLs

was 71.35 kg.

SSPC, Ramanagara

The Silkworm Seed Production Centre,

Ramanagara established in the year 1976 is one of

the oldest seed production centres of NSSO and it

has completed 41 years of its existence. The centre

assumes greater importance and relevance being

placed in the silk city and it has been catering to the

need of crossbreed sericulturists mainly in

Ramanagara and Mandya Districts. The centre has

been playing an instrumental role in establishment

of sericulture in many parts of the country by

supplying large quantity of improved variety of

mulberry cuttings. In the year 2015-16, the focus

of the centre remained mainly on the production

and distribution of crossbreed DFLs. Needless to

add the centre is an ISO 9001:2008 certified unit

which follows all the mandatory quality parameters

of production of disease free silkworm eggs.

SSPC, Dharmapuri

Silkworm Seed Production Centre, Dharmapuri

was established in the year 1981 originally at

Pennagaram and later shifted to Dharmapuri in

1994. The SSPC was established with the main

objective of production and supply of quality disease

free silkworm seed, introducing and popularizing

improved silkworm hybrids, introduction of

sericulture in potential areas, timely supply of

silkworm seed and critical inputs to keep up the

confidence of sericulturists and play a role model

in transfer of technology to help farmers to increase

vertical growth by adopting recommended package

of practices. The shift of Tamil Nadu state towards

bivoltine sericulture in a large scale and the

encouraging production of 8.46 lakhs of bivoltine

hybrid seed production the previous year, at the unit

prompted NSSO to assign a target of 12.00 lakhs in

the current year also. One SSC at Andalur Gate

distributed 39,700 bivoltine hybrid DFLs and 11,549

crossbreed DFLs in their command area. SSU at

Palacode attached to SSPC helped the centre to

distribute 1,06,315 DFLs (70500 bivoltine hybrids,

1400 bivoltine pure and 34415 crossbreed DFLs)

apart from performing the extension activities.

SSPC Dharmapuri could clock a production of

11.03 lakhs which included 10.06 lakhs of bivoltine

hybrid DFLs and 0.97 lakh of multi x bivoltine DFLs,

following the Quality Management System – ISO

9001:2008. The centre processed 30,18,078

bivoltine seed cocoon (CSR2, CSR4, FC1, FC2, SK6 &

SK7) produced 921750 DFLs. A recovery of 70.17 g /

kg cocoons against the norm of 65.00 g was

recorded in double hybrids. In addition, the unit also

produced 83,950 DFLs of new races (FC3, FC4, S8,

CSR16, BCon1 & BCon4) with an egg recovery of

66.40 g / kg cocoons. The centre also processed

3,62,273 multivoltine seed cocoon ( PM & MV1) and

produced 97,336 crossbreed DFLs comprising of

29,918 PMxCSR2, 35,618 PMxFC2 and 31,800 MV1

x S8 DFLs.

The production efficiency of SSPC Dharmapuri

was on the higher side recording a recovery of 28.69

% in multibivoltine DFLs production against the norm

of 28 %. The centre took all the care to incubate all

the layings disposed of through window sales. The

centre was successful in disposing of 7.11 lakh DFLs,

which comprised of 0.97 lakh cross breed and 6.13

lakh bivoltine hybrid DFLs. An average cocoon yield of

73.52 kg /100 DFLs was recorded in non-captive area.

57



distribution

The centre produced 22.79 lakh bivoltine

hybrid DFLs against a target of 24.00 lakhs, the

highest ever, since inception. The total production

comprised of bivoltine hybrids which indicate the

highest demand for these hybrids in the field. The

unit produced 82400 DFLs of single hybrid DFLs with

a productivity of 56.18g / kg cocoon. The maximum

production was that of double hybrid DFLs with

21.97 lakhs and the productivity recorded was 72.45

g / kg cocoon. It is heartening to observe that in the

last five years, the production more than doubled.

In the year 2011-12, the centre recorded a

production of 10.02 against the target of 10.00 lakhs

which gradually doubled over the years as shown in

the figure. This gives a very clear indication that

the production efficiency of the centre improved

remarkably despite the fact that there was no

addition to the infrastructure or manpower.

The unit has 12 Adopted Seed Rearers, through

which 113.99 lakh parental bivoltine seed cocoons

were generated not only for its own use but also

for supply to other SSPCs, thus indicating it is self-

reliant. The entire quantity of 30371 P1 bivoltine

basic seed distributed to these ASRs was incubated.

A quantity of 69.79 lakh cocoons were used for own

purpose and 8.86 lakhs was supplied to 9 SSPCs of

NSSO. Apart from this, 35.33 lakh cocoons were

supplied to DoS and private RSPs.

During the year, 21.16 lakh bivoltine hybrid

DFLs was distributed as against a quantity of 20.66

lakhs in the previous year.


SSC Bagalur functioning under the SSPC

supports not only in generation of quality bivoltine

seed cocoons for hybrid DFL production, but also in

distribution of commercial DFLs and transfer of

technology to the farmers. Against a target of 55500

DFLs, the unit distributed 48788 DFLs. Under Cluster

Promotion Programme, Bagalur cluster distributed

1.23 lakh bivoltine hybrid DFLs against a target of 1.24

lakh DFLs, with an average cocoon yield of 83.17 kg

per 100 DFLs. Similarly, Kodiyalam cluster distributed

1.63 lakh bivoltine hybrid DFLs against a target of 1.50

lakhs, with an average cocoon yield of 83.01 kg per

100 DFLs. To sensitise the farmers belonging to cluster

Extension activities

During the year, 6 extension communicationprogrammes were conducted in which 149 farmersand 28 staff members participated. This centremonitored one satellite cluster with target of1,87,000 bivoltine hybrids DFLs and distributed2,45,217 bivoltine hybrids DFLs achieving 131.10 %.Under Cluster Development Programme, 2,45,217DFLs were distributed to 2096 farmers andharvested 174168.00 kg cocoons with yield per 100DFLs of 73.904 kg. The calculated raw silk outputwas 26.80 MT and average rate per kg cocoon isRs. 389.61. The centre played an instrumental rolein taking up new mulberry plantation under CPP in261.50 acres with 175 farmers.


Thirty five Adopted Seed Rearers andcommercial farmers were trained in sericulturetechnologies for 7 days under capacity building andtraining programme. Conducted an AwarenessProgramme on cashless transaction (UPI), to thesericulturists in and around Dharmapuri. Alsoimplemented all programmes under official language.

SSPC, Hosur

Silkworm Seed Production Centre Hosur wasestablished in 1975 and is the leading bivoltinehybrid DFL producing unit in Tamil Nadu. The unitcaters to the requirement of the commercialsericulturists of the traditional states of Tamil Nadu,Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and also the non-traditional states located in the northern and north-eastern regions of the country.

SSPC Hosur is an ISO 9001 : 2008 certifiedsilkworm seed production centre for QualityManagement Systems with scope applicable forproduction and sale of silkworm seed. Thesestandards were followed meticulously. SSPC Hosurcould achieve the stiffer targets solely because ofthe commitment of the dedicated personnel andconstant monitoring of the processes involved. Themain objectives of the centre are to meet theproduction of quality bivoltine silkworm seed, toobtain the egg productivity of a minimum of 60 g /kg seed cocoon in biparental bivoltine hybrids anda minimum of 65 g / kg of seed cocoons in tetraparental bivoltine hybrids, generation of bivoltineparent seed cocoons through Adopted Seed Rearers,popularization of bivoltine hybrids and to encourageCRC concept and to support by supplying incubated

eggs in black boxed condition.

58



On a year-on-year basis, the centre produced 1.96

lakh more layings compared to the previous year

which is an impressive 23.67 % jump. The egg

recovery in traditional crossbreed recorded was

28.45 % in multi x bivoltine DFLs production. The

BSC : MSC ratio was 1:2 and DFL : Cocoon ratio was

1 : 5.32 during the year.

SSPC Chittoor oversaw the distribution of a total

of 17.04 lakh DFLs through SSC and CPP. This includes

13.26 lakh bivoltine hybrid DFLs and 1.47 lakh of multi

x bivoltine hybrid layings. SSC Vijayawada headed by

Dr.R.N.Prasad, Scientist-D deserves a special mention

here because the unstinted efforts of the staff of the

SSC, they clocked the highest distribution of 13.42

lakh DFLs among all the SSCs.

Under CPP-Chittoor brushed 2,49,000 DFLs

against the target of 1,50,000 DFLs and achieved

166.00%. Average cocoon yield obtained is 72.93

kg which is highest among the clusters in Chittoor

district and the estimated raw silk production was

72 MT. The SSPC took initiative to organize 38

extension programs under CPP, through which 960

farmers were sensitized. Enlightenment

Programmes were also organized in the cluster area

of Chittoor at Penumur on soil testing, applications

of organic fertilizers for quality mulberry garden,

vermicomposting, mulberry garden maintenance,

importance of chawki rearing etc.


Under Capacity Building and Training

programme, organized ASR and Progressive farmers’

Training at SSPC, Chittoor for 40 farmers. 16 Group

Discussions were conducted, 2 Awareness

Programmes, 2 Farmers’ Meet, 1 Field Day etc, were

organized during the year under report.

SSPC, Hindupur

SSPC, Hindupur was established in the year

1982, but the centre was shifted to its own building

only in 1993. The centre has been producing and

distributing high quality silkworm hybrids DFLs,

predominantly, cross breed DFLs and offering

technical guidance to the farmers of the area and

to private chawki rearing centres. The centre’s

service area is mainly Anantapur District of Andhra

Pradesh which has got approximately 30000 acres

of productive mulberry acreage. To meet the annual

requirement of about 2.50 crore DFLs SSPC

Hindupur contributes in unison with five silkworm

seed production centres of the Government of

Andhra Pradesh and the private registered seed

producers. SSPC Hindupur also supplies the DFLs

to the other parts of the country as and when

required. The Centre is an ISO 2001:2008 certified

seed production centre meticulously following the

Quality Management Systems. For marketing of

commercial cocoons there are 3 cocoon markets at

Hindupur, Kadiri and Dharmavaram. In addition, 2

cocoon markets, one at Gorantla for marketing MSC

and the other at Madakasira for marketing bivoltine

seed cocoons are functioning.


distribution

The SSPC produced 10.00 lakh DFLs against the

target of 12.00 lakhs. This included 4.15 lakhs of

bivoltine and 5.85 lakhs of multi x bivoltine DFLs. A

quantity of 1.59 lakh double hybrids and 2.57 lakhs of

SK6 x SK7 hybrids were produced with a recovery of

67.03g and 61.53g respectively. The popular cross

breed DFL production was 104981 PM x CSR2, 173078

PM x FC2 and 306648 Nistari x (SK6 x SK7), was

produced on demand for Uttar Pradesh and West

Bengal. Nistari x (SK6 x SK7) recorded high recovery

of 76.28 g/kg of cocoons against the norms of 40.00

g. The BSC : MSC ratio was 1 : 2.22 against the norms

of 1 : 2.00 and DFL : Cocoon ratio was 1 : 4.41 against

the norms of 1 : 5.35.

Effective utilization of bivoltine male moths by

pupal sexing even for crossbreed DFL preparation

has contributed for enhanced recovery and reduced

cost of production.

The centre distributed 2.54 lakh bivoltine hybrid

and 5.59 lakhs of crossbreed DFLs during the year.

During the year, the centre was given the

additional responsibility of monitoring the Cluster

Promotion Programme in Gowribidanur cluster of

Karnataka. A quantity of 252875 bivoltine hybrid

DFLs were distributed and the average yield

recorded was 64.30 kg per 100 DFLs.


Under the capacity bui lding training

programme 35 progressive farmers were trained in

new technologies of mulberry cultivation and seed

60


crop rearing. Two RSPs were trained in bivoltine /

crossbreed silkworm seed production techniques.

Two Awareness Programmes were conducted to

popularize bivoltine hybrid DFLs in the field both

through RCRs and farmers of SSPC command area.

during the year.

SSPC, Madanapalle

SSPC, Madanapalle established during the year

1980 in a rented building and later shifted to its own

building during the year 1994 with an aim to serve

the sericulturists in Chittoor district by supplying

high quality disease free layings.

Generation of seed cocoons at Punganur seed area

The unit continued production of bivoltine

hybrid DFLs apart from other combinations. The unit

is also mandated to generate multivoltine seed

cocoons of Pure Mysore and Nistari through

Adopted Seed Rearers in Punganur area to augment

the requirement of multivoltine seed cocoons

particularly to the SSPCs of Andhra Pradesh to lessen

the dependence on traditional seed area. During the

reporting period, 1098 Pure Mysore P1 DFLs were

brushed and generated 3.38 lakh multivoltine seed

cocoons, with an average cocoon yield of 40.63 kg

and supplied to various SSPCs. Similarly, 2675 Nistari

P1 DFLs was also brushed and generated 6.89 lakhs

Nistari seed cocoons with an average yield of 24.87

kg and supplied to select SSPCs for production of

Nistari x Bi. DFLs.

Procurement of seed cocoons

Under the capacity building training programme,

the centre trained 35 sericulturists during June 2017

(13th to 18th June). Seed Officers’ and Seed Analysts’

meeting of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana was

organized at Madanapalle on 24th June 2016.

SSPC, Palakkad

SSPC Palakkad was established during the year

1990 under National Sericulture Project to meet the

silkworm seed requirement. The centre generated

87.82 lakh bivoltine seed cocoons locally with help of

82 ASRs for the production programme, out of which

12.30 lakhs cocoons were supplied to other centres.

Production and distribution of silkworm seed

SSPC Palakkad mainly concentrated on

production of bivoltine double hybrid DFLs. Against

a target of 30.50 lakh DFLs production, SSPC

Palakkad produced 27.41 lakh DFLs comprising of

24.04 lakh FC1 x FC2 DFLs, 207360 SK6 x SK7 DFLs

and 130150 SSBS5 x SSBS6 DFLs. The recovery of

double hybrid DFLs is 78.72 g and that of SK6 x SK7

DFLs is 72.28 g / kg cocoons. The centre also

remained largely successful in keeping the

productivity at a high level of more than 70 g per kg

61



production centre and has been the leading seed

production centre under NSSO in West Bengal. The

centre caters to the needs of the sericulturists of

the area in terms of supplying high quality Multi x

Bivoltine and Multi x Multivoltine hybrid silkworm

seed in time. The centre has started giving due

importance in the generation of high quality seed

cocoons so that the quality of the hybrid seed

produced would be of higher quality.

During the year, the centre processed 66 lakh

Nistari, 8.95 lakh M12W and 17.92 lakh bivoltine

seed cocoons which were economically utilized for

the production of crossbreed DFLs. A total of 17.92

lakh hybrid DFLs was produced during the year which

included 10.57 lakh DFLs of Nistari x (SK6 x SK7) and

7.35 lakh DFLs of Nistari x M12W, with an overall

achievement of 81.45 %. The egg productivity of the

centre was 44.27 g in the case of Nistari x (SK6 x

SK7) and 46.12 g in Nistari x M12W respectively.

It is also worthwhile to mention that, SSPC

Dakshinbhavanipur has been depending on the

southern states for the bivoltine seed cocoons. As a

welcome departure, the centre processed 17,32,780

bivoltine seed cocoons (SK6 x SK7), of which local

generation was to the tune of 49.06 %, of the total

cocoons utilized. The improvement in the production

efficiency was reflected in the production of good quality

of DFLs through effective usage of the cocoons. Apart

from distributing 15.77 lakh DFLs in West Bengal,

2,14,750 crossbreed DFLs were also supplied to different

states, such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Mizoram,

Assam and Sikkim. Contrary to the traditional practice

of production of N x M12W and its reciprocal during

Shravani and Bhaduri, this SSPC successfully produced

and distributed N x (SK6xSK7) DFLs during these seasons

by generating bivoltine seed cocoons locally. This fetched

good returns to the farmers. Apart from this, 45 ASRs

were imparted training under the Capacity Building.

SSPC, Dehradun

SSPC Dehradun is one of the two grainages

established in the northern part of India to cater

mainly to the needs of temperate belt the other

being SSPC Udhampur in Jammu & Kashmir. The

production and utilisation of silkworm hybrid dfls is

limited to two crops in the Spring and Autumn

seasons prevailing in that part of the country. SSPC

Dehradun is an ISO 9001 : 2008 certified silkworm

seed production centre meticulously following the

Quality Management Systems.

During the year under report, the centre

incubated, brushed and chawki reared 14000 P1 DFLs

up to second moult and distributed to authorised

seed rearers of Badripur, Dharcot (Uttarkhand) and

Puruwala (Himachal Pradesh) seed areas during

spring/autumn-2016. Rearing was satisfactory

recording an average yield of 41.15 kg/100 DFLs

during spring and 33.44 kg./100 DFLs during autumn

seasons. The P1 seed cocoons procured from the

ASRs, were utilised for commercial silkworm hybrid

DFLs production. The cocoons generated at P3/P2

BSF Dehradun during spring/autumn season were

also utilised for hybrid DFL production. The data

provided below shows combination-wise production

of DFLs along with the egg recovery:

SSPC Dehradun produced 901600 hybrid DFLs

during the year against a target of 14.50 lakhs, with an

egg recovery of 64.92 g /kg cocoons. Accordingly seed

supply to different agencies is as shown below:

Support to Adopted Seed Rearers

42 ASRs of Badripur seed area were provided

infrastructure for seed crop rearing. 322 rearers

were registered as ASRs at SSPC Dehradun.


Under capacity building training programmes

100 ASRs of Badripur, Puruwala and Dharkot seed

area were trained on latest technologies of mulberry

cultivation and seed crop rearing.

SSPC, Udhampur

NSSO Bengaluru takes extreme pride to state

that the organization has one of its seed production

cenrres in the far flung Jammu & Kashmir which has

been serving sericulturists of Jammu & Kashmir area

over the past 30 years. The centre produces solely

bivoltine hybrid DFLs as done by SSPC Dehradun for

utilization during spring and autumn seasons. SSPC

Udhampur reared 14000 P1 DFLs in the adopted

seed zones at Udhampur and Mahanpur districts of

Jammu & Kashmir and generated 6142 kg seed

cocoons, of which 4948.10 kg was utilized for seed

production. The centre has produced 8,76,600 DFLs

against the target of 14.50 lakhs. The production

particularly in the year under report took a hit

because the P1 rearing was adversely effected by

bad climatic conditions during rearing period in

spring 2016. A total of 4948.10 kg P1 seed cocoons

were procured from the Adopted Seed Rearers and

Cold Storage Plants are an integral part of the

silkworm seed production system. In the mulberry

sector, bivoltine and multivoltine basic seed are

produced at the BSFs and their commercial silkworm

hybrid seed are produced at SSPCs. In order to

enable an uninterrupted and continuous supply of

basic and commercial seed to the different agencies

spread across India, the bivoltine silkworm seed is

consigned in these cold storage plants at different

hibernation schedules viz., 4, 6 and 10 months. Short

and long term consignment of crossbreed DFLs,

systematic incubation and release of the DFLs after

satisfactory test hatching within the safety period

are carried out at the cold storages.

NSSO has three Cold Storage Plants located at

Mysore and Hosur in the south and at Dehradun in

the north zone.

Cold Storage Plant, Mysore

The Cold Storage Plant Mysore was originally

established in the year 1980-81 with an installed

capacity to preserve 40 lakh DFLs. Since the old

system was inadequate to meet the growing

demand, a new state-of-the-art DX type energy

efficient cold storage system was established in the

year 2015 with a storage capacity of up to 1 crore

DFLs. The Cold Storage Plant consists of 9 rooms

with 2 ante chambers of different temperatures

such as 2.5± 1°C, 5± 1°C, 10± 1°C, 15± 1°C, 20± 1°C

and 25± 1°C. The CSP was installed by M/s. Blue

Star Limited, Bangalore as overseen by the Central

Public Works Department, Bangalore.

The 238.88 lakh DFLs scientifically preserved

under different hibernation schedules at the CSP,

Mysore was produced by 20 SSPCs and the private

RSPs. This was the highest preservation since the

inception of NSSO. The centre released and supplied

219.86 lakh of disease free layings on time which

again was highest ever. The centre incubated and

supplied the highest quantity (10.93 lakh) P1 DFLs

to ASRs of 13 grainages, DOS, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu,

Andhra Pradesh and other North/North-eastern

states as per their annual indent which enabled

them to generate good quality seed cocoons and to

produce quality commercial seed to meet the

requirement of bivoltine hybrids.

Significance of CSP Mysore in popularizing

bivoltine sericulture

CSP Mysore incubated and supplied 3.96 lakh

P2/P1 DFLs of 8 popular bivoltine races namely

CSR2, CSR4, CSR6, CSR26, CSR27, FC1,FC2, SK6 and

SK7 in time under black boxed condition to units of

NSSO, DOS and other agencies which resulted in

more than 95% hatching. It was an achievement in

itself when the centre released and supplied the

highest quantity of bivoltine hybrids (70.26 lakh) in

COLD STORAGE PLANTS humidity in the chambers, releases them as per the

set plans, incubate, black box and supply to the

customers often in bulk. The DFLs handled include

basic seed of different varieties and the commercial

hybrids. The following table shows the data of DFLs

handled by the centre during the current year:

time following systematic incubation and black

boxing under different programmes recording > 95

% hatching. This resulted in a cocoon yield of 70

~75 kg per 100 DFLs contributing to the enhanced

bivoltine silk production in the country.

Under the Cluster Promotion Programme, 34.08

lakh bivoltine hybrids were supplied under black

boxed condition to various centres. The hatching was

uniform at 95.50 % and the average yield per 100

DFLs was 70-80kg. A quantity of 33.83 lakh bivoltine

hybrids were black boxed and supplied to CRCs,

extension units and small scale farmers to promote

bivoltine sericulture in the country. The average yield

recorded was 77 kg of cocoon per 100 DFLs.

CSP Mysore managed air lifting of 4.23 lakh

bivoltine P1 DFLs and 8.73 lakh bivoltine hybrid DFLs

to North and North-Eastern states. Excellent

hatching was reported by the receiving centres.

In addition, CSP Mysore extended technical service

to CSR&TI, Mysore, CSGRC, Hosur, SBSS Conoor, P4-BSF

Hassan, DoS (AP) and DoS, Maharashtra in silkworm

seed preservation and egg handling.

Cold Storage Plant, Hosur

This cold storage with DX-type refrigeration

system consisting of 11 chambers was installed and

commissioned by M/s. Blue Star Limited, Bangalore

in 2011 and has a capacity to preserve 30 lakh DFLs.

NSSO has an effective and closely knitted

mechanism for carrying out extension

activities. In addition it is also involved in

more intensive technology transfer programme

through cluster approach, implemented through its

nested units. The Sericulture Service Centres and

Units of NSSO even though carrying out effective

dissemination of technical information to the

farmers in relatively lesser time and cost, as a policy

matter, many of them have been closed during the

year. Very few of the extension units, which are

operated from own building have been continued

as a policy. Even though many units were closed,

the targets were achieved with minimum number

of existing SSC/SSU staff. The details regarding the

number of extension units and the DFLs distributed

to the farmers state wise and variety wise is

indicated in the table appended.

It could be seen that a total quantity of 156.02

lakh DFLs were distributed in the country, against the

target of 161.84 lakh DFLs with an achievement of

96.40 %. Karnataka consumed 53.63 lakh DFLs against

the target of 51.30 lakhs, followed by Tamil Nadu with

2.69 lakh and West Bengal with 52.20 lakhs. The

extension centres in Andhra Pradesh achieved 126.63

% over the target by distributing 14.73 lakh DFLs

against the target of 11.64 lakhs. Overall, 60.23 lakh

DFLs of bivoltine hybrids were distributed by the

extension units in South India against a target of 54.24

lakhs (111.04%), of which 72.98 % were supplied in

incubated and black boxed condition.

The bivoltine hybrid performed well with

average yield of 71.81 kg/100 DFLs against 63.15 kg

in the case of crossbreed variety in southern region.

The double hybrid DFLs of bivoltine was preferred

by majority of the farmers and the crop performed

better compared to other varieties.

Transfer of critical mulberry and silkworm

rearing technologies was taken up with the farmers

both in South and in eastern zone. Group

Discussions (533) and Farmer meets (794) were

arranged in different needy areas for effective

transfer of technology and to receive their feedback

about the activities implemented.

T he XII five year plan witnessed a huge shift

in the production pattern of commercial

hybrid DFLs, with more emphasis on

bivoltine hybrid DFL production. To realize this goal,

silkworm rearing and large scale bivoltine loose egg

production technology is utmost important. The

Adopted Seed Rearers of SSPCs of NSSO play a vital

role in generation of quality bivoltine parental seed

cocoons to enable production of commercial DFLs

at the grainages. Realising this, it was felt

appropriate to refresh the knowledge of these ASRs

with the latest proven technologies on various

aspects of maintenance of mulberry garden,

silkworm rearing, mounting care and harvest of

cocoons, disease control, importance and methods

of disinfection etc., meeting the quality norms. The

success of any new technology developed by a

research institute lies in its effective transfer from

lab to land, supported by proper extension network.

The personnel involved in the transfer of technology

should be well versed and trained, with detailed

knowledge on the latest technologies. Towards

achieving this goal, officials of NSSO, DOS, students

and farmers from various universities were imparted

training in various disciplines of sericulture. The

details are depicted below -

Workshop on Chawki Rearing

NSSO organised a day’s workshop on the

importance of “Chawki Rearing” at the CSB

Auditorium on 29th June 2016. This programme was

organised in view of the decision taken in the

Research Co-ordination Committee meeting and

also the Scientific Advisory Committee meeting of

NSSO. Hon’ble Chairman Shri. K. M. Hanumantharayappa

and respected Member Secretary, Dr. H.Nagesh

Prabhu IFS, inaugurated the programme. The

owners of Chawki Rearing Centres from Karnataka,

Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu were invited for the

workshop. The Incharge Officers of the SSPCs from

these states, scientists of NSSO HQ and also

scientists of Central Silk Board participated in the

programme. Director Dr. P. JayaPrakash in his

inaugural address emphasized the importance and

need to have more CRCs in the traditional sericulture

regions. Lectures pertaining to the importance of

chawki rearing and necessary precautions to be

taken was presented by the scientists as detailed

below, so as to enlighten / refresh the knowledge

of these beneficiaries

Ø Maintenance of soi l health with special

reference to chawki garden

Ø Raising and maintenance of exclusive mulberry

chawki garden

Ø Incubation of silkworm eggs and blackboxing

Ø Advanced chawki rearing technology

Ø Precaution & disease control in chawki rearing

followed by chawki certification

The CRC Discount Scheme being the

flagship scheme of NSSO and seemingly

popular among the Registered Bivoltine Chawki

Rearers of Southern India is into the third year after

the original scheme was overhauled in the year

2014-15. Minor tweaking in the attributes and

making the scheme simple and no-frill caught the

fancy of quite a few serious entrepreneurs. The

annual target was maintained at 50000 with an

object of attracting more small scale CRC

entrepreneurs to the scheme and to make it fairly

inclusive. The Organization, subsequently made a

strategic decision to limit the discount on the cost

of DFLs to bivoltine and withdraw the discount of

10% earlier offered to cross breed DFLs. This was

for the organization to position itself firmly in line

with the Govt. of India’s thrust to encourage

bivoltine sericulture. Prior to this, it was observed

that the pattern of DFLs consumption under the

scheme was largely skewed to bivoltine, around 90

% of the total to be specific. It was also a vindication

of the general stand that cross breed silk production

in India need not be any more incentivised especially

when the Vision 2030 document of Central Silk

Board makes it amply clear that the bivoltine raw

silk production will be the primary focus point.

Promoting maximum exploitation of the productive

bivoltine silkworm hybrid combinations continued

to be NSSO’s long drawn policy.

Implementation Procedure and Guidelines

Ø Any silkworm Chawki Rearer holding a

valid Registration Certificate under the

Central Silk Board (Amendment) Act,

2006 are eligible to enroll himself/herself

for availing of the discount by applying

through an SSPC in the prescribed format.

Ø The head of SSPC examines the facts and

forwards the application to the NSSO

Head Quarters with a recommendation.

Ø After scrutiny, NSSO may accept the

application and convey the approval and

these allows the discount from the date

as indicated in the intimation.

Ø The concerned SSPC collects the indent

for layings well in advance.

Ø An enrolled Chawki Rearer is eligible for

a discount of 15% on the cost of the

bivoltine DFLs in any given batch.

Ø The enrolled Chawki Rearers are eligible

for the discount only on buying a

minimum of 2500 DFLs in any given batch.

Ø The discount is allowed only on cash

purchase on the bill raised against the

name of the registered Chawki Rearer

only.

Ø There will not be any restriction

whatsoever in terms of territory i.e., any

SSPC may allow discount to the CRCs

enrolled under this scheme regardless of

the areas they belong to, provided the

conditions laid down in this scheme are

strictly adhered to. To facilitate this, the

latest updated list of enrolled CRCs are

made available along with the

consolidated monthly reports prepared

for the monthly review meetings, every

month.

Ø Each enrolled CRC is bound to buy a

minimum of 50000 DFLs a year from the

SSPC(s) of NSSO under this scheme. On

failure to meet the annual target, the

continuance of such CRC will be reviewed

and appropriate decision will be taken.

Ø Any misutilization of the discount

extended will be viewed seriously and the

CRCs involved will be disqualified from

availing of future benefit.

During the current year, four review meetings

attended by the State sericulture Department

officials apart from the SAs and SOs were conducted

to review and discuss the inspection reports

together with the general shortcomings being faced

for resolving them. The details of the meetings

conducted are as follows:

Training Programme

(i) Refresher Training Programme

As per the provisions of the Central Seed Act,

it is mandatory on the part of the Registered Seed

Producers and Registered Chawki Rearers to

The three research institutes of Central Silk

Board have developed many silkworm hybrids over

the years and a good number of them have been

authorized. These hybrids, as and when developed

are authorized for commercial exploitation based

on their performance in the laboratory. This is

followed by All India Co-ordinated field trials at the

identified government units and field on a limited

scale, without test verifying their performance on

large scale at the farmers’ level. This has resulted in

encountering many problems in large scale rearing

and is the main reason for unsuccessful

popularisation of hybrids to the desired level. Thus

it is highly essential to carry out systematic

popularisation of new authorized breeds at the

farmers’ level. Introduction of promising hybrids

suitable for varied agro climatic regions is the need

of the hour. In this direction, the Research Istitutes

at Mysore, Berhampore and Pampore have

developed new hybrids for various zones. The

parental stock is supplied to NSSO, where the hybrid

DFLs of various combinations are produced at its

SSPCs, which in turn is supplied back to the

respective research institutes for testing at the

farmer’s level. The grainage performance of the new

silkworm hybrids produced at the units of NSSO is

as follows :
