OBJECTIVES:

 

·        To develop skilled technical manpower towards Human Resource Development in both pre-cocoon and post-cocoon sectors for the field level officials of different State Sericulture Departments, Central Silk Board and other agencies involved in silk industry.

 

ACHIEVEMENTS:

 

·        The Post Graduate Diploma in Sericulture (Mulberry) course of this Institute has been affiliated by the University of Kalyani w.e.f the session 2007-08.

 

·        The first (2007-08), second (2008-09), third (2009-10) & fourth (2010-11) batch of Post Graduate Diploma in Sericulture Examination, have been published and the results are quite satisfactory.

 

RESOURCES:

The following facilities are available for conducting various training programmes for the Human Resource Development in sericulture (Mulberry).

 

1.    Faculty: Highly qualified and experienced faculty members having expertise in different field of sericulture are available for conducting various training programmes (structured & non- structured).

 

2.    Library facilities: A well equipped library with about 6001 scientific books exclusively for sericulture sciences is available for the trainees in different courses besides 34 national & 10 international scientific journals.

 

3.    Computers: Computers with intra and Internet facilities are available for the trainees to fulfill their thrust of knowledge.

 

4.    Classrooms: Well-equipped lecture rooms and laboratory with advanced audiovisual facilities are available for attractive class lectures and practical demonstration.

 

5.    Rearing Houses: Model rearing houses for demonstration of Mulberry silkworm rearing for the trainees in different designated courses like chawki rearing, multivoltine rearing, bivoltine rearing etc. are available

 

6.    Mulberry Farm: A model sericulture farm with 30 acres of mulberry plantation is supporting the trainees for field demonstrations and rearing works in different courses as field laboratory.

 

7.    Grainage facility: A model grainage for quality seed (laying of silkworm) production is also available, close to the Institute for practical demonstration of commercial seed production techniques.

 

8.   Boarding and Lodging: Hostel facilities are available for the trainees, having 96 single bedded rooms.

 

9.    Recreation facilities: Recreation facilities for outdoor and indoor games such as Football, Volley ball, Cricket, Badminton Table Tennis, Carom, are available to enjoy by the trainees during leisure hours.
