Abstract

Silk production as an art and science referred to as sericulture is documented to be of very ancient origin in India. Records indicate that it is one of the oldest countries where silk farming and weaving were done. Indications are that in its first ever practice in the world, sericulture can be traced back to 2450 B.C during the Indus Valley Civilization period in India. Still, silk farmers in Karnataka deal with a bunch of social and economic problems. Growing silkworms to make silk has been a job people in Karnataka have done for ages helping many country families make a living. Even though it can bring in money, silk farmers run into several issues that make it hard for them to stay stable and do well in life. The researcher has used questionnaire method to collect data about the prevailing conditions of the sericulture farmers in Karnataka. The economic conditions are the main issue and needs to be addressed from all stakeholders.This paper shall try to bring out these challenges and gives solutions to improve the conditions of sericulture farmers.
