Students of Std VII visited Sericulture unit, Rayapur to gain first hand knowledge of life cycle of silk moth & the process of obtaining silk.

           The staff of Sericulture Unit were delighted to have us there. They explained the different steps involved in the process of obtaining silk. Life cycle of the silk moth was explained through a self explained video. Children were allowed to carry cocoons & the silk yarn they spun.

                  In all it was a wonderful experience but at the same time we were bit concerned about the working conditions of the workers,
