Imphal, August 30 2013 :
Not understanding the value of Sericulture Department and sidelining its importance by the concerned parties has ultimately led to its destruction, Sericulture Minister Govindas Konthoujam has exclaimed.
He was speaking as Chief Guest of the inaugural function of a Regular Training of Certificate Course in Sericulture at the Sericulture Training Centre, Kwakta here today.
The Minister further stated that the training programme has been conducted considering the need to imbibe the sense within ourselves that we can provide employment to ourselves.
The employees of the department who are presently working are to get retired after a short period of time and as such qualified persons are needed to replace the retired officials.
Delivering the Presidential speech, O Nabakishore, Principal Secretary (Commerce & Industries and Sericulture), stated that we need to revive the lost status of Sericulture department and bring about development in the State.
The trainees should concentrate with heart and soul to whatever was going to be taught during the programme.
It is through them and their hard work that development can be brought about, he said.
The function was also attended by MLA and Parliamentary in-charge of Youth Affairs and Sports M Prithviraj, Pradhan N Tomba and Director of Sericulture Department H Ginjamang as Guests of honour.
