The government launched Mission Senehjori to develop Assam’s Muga silk sector into a luxury textile ecosystem, according to official announcements cited in policy briefings.
Muga silk is indigenous to Assam and prized for its natural golden sheen. The initiative is framed as upgrading production, marketing and artisan livelihoods tied to the fibre.
State officials have promoted sericulture as part of Assam’s cultural and economic identity. Programme details include support for weavers and steps to position Muga products in higher-value domestic and export markets.
The launch aligns with broader efforts to brand northeastern handloom and silk traditions for premium buyers while retaining regional ownership of raw material and weaving skills.
