Описание: Sericulture Appropriate Technology India (AT India) – Silk Cultivation Empowering Uttarakhand

This short documentary showcases how Appropriate Technology India (AT India) has pioneered sericulture (silk cultivation) in Uttarakhand since the early 1990s as part of efforts to conserve the region’s ancient oak forests. Today, silk cultivation has become a recognized and sustainable livelihood for many families across the state.

Key highlights from the video:

Conservation & Livelihoods: AT India’s initiative links forest conservation with sustainable income by promoting silk farming under old and new Quercus serrata (oak) plantations.

Skill Development: With vital support from Oracle, AT India has implemented continuous skill-building programs for all participants in the silk value chain—including cocoon rearers, silk producers, weavers, and dyers.

Economic Impact: The program aims to boost stakeholders' income by 20–30% by leveraging over 200 hectares of dedicated silk plantations in the Rudraprayag district alone.

Community Growth: The project’s success is evident in rising incomes and improved skills throughout local communities, demonstrating the powerful intersection of environmental stewardship and rural economic development.
