Cuttack: Union Minister of State for MSME Pratap Chandra Sarangi laid the foundation stone of a Silk Production cum Training Centre at Choudwar in the district on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, Sarangi said Odisha is known for producing high quality silk. But, the raw material has to be procured from outside due to lack of a local silk production unit. This gap will be filled up after the centre comes up, he added.
Besides, it will lead to empowerment of the local artisans. This is the first such unit in the State that will produce high quality Tussar silk yarn.
“Initially, the manufacturing unit will provide employment to around 40 people. In next one year, we are planning to increase production capacity which could generate employment for around 500 people,” Sarangi said.
