In Chhattisgarh, the Sericulture Department provides financial assistance to promote mulberry cultivation and boost silk production. The Mulberry Plantation Aid scheme aims to support farmers in establishing and maintaining mulberry gardens, which are essential for sericulture and the silk industry. This initiative encourages rural employment and sustainable income generation.

Eligible applicants include farmers, self-help groups (SHGs), and sericulture entrepreneurs who wish to cultivate mulberry plants. Applications can be submitted online through the Sewa Setu Portal or offline at designated Sericulture Department offices and Common Service Centres (CSC). The applicant must submit required documents.

Upon submission, an Acknowledgment Registration Number (ARN) is generated for tracking the application status. The concerned authority verifies the documents and approves financial aid within the prescribed timeline. Once approved, beneficiaries are notified through SMS or email, and the sanctioned assistance is transferred directly to their bank account.

This aid under the Mulberry Plantation scheme ensures proper establishment of mulberry gardens, promotes sericulture as a viable livelihood, and contributes to the development of the silk industry in the state.
