On the occasion, Dr. Pooja Jha, Founder, Gender Mainstreaming Research Association said that the women here are very talented, and would benefit greatly from the knowledge of new methods. Our organization will continue to do more so that Chhattisgarh can also become equivalent in silk industry like Bangalore. India is one of the world’s largest producers of silk, yet today we have to import silk. By using modern methods, the right machines and reducing waste, we can reduce our exports. Dr. Pooja thanked the District Administration and the Silk Board for their cooperation and said that we will continue to work together to promote the silk industry and improve its quality.
