The Karnataka state cabinet has approved the proposal for establishing a mega silk cluster in Mysuru. The proposal will be implemented once it is sanctioned in the state assembly. 


The state and Union governments will work in cohesion for the establishment of the cluster near Hootagalli on the outskirts of the city at a cost of around Rs 49 crore.

The cluster in Mysuru will be one of the six clusters to be established across the country under the National Handloom Development Programme. The setting up of the cluster will boost employment in the region apart from fuelling local economy by spanning ancillary industries to support the cluster, the regional media reports said.

Aimed at developing the sericulture industry in the area, the cluster with state-of-the-art facilities will be beneficial to weavers and others stakeholders associated with the sericulture industry.
