From cocoon to campus couture: How students of Thrissur Vimala College have woven a silk dream

Students from the Zoology Department at Vimala College in Thrissur, Kerala, have initiated a unique entrepreneurial venture called 'V-Weave,' focusing on sericulture. This project involves growing mulberry plants, rearing silkworms, harvesting silk cocoons, and ultimately weaving silk sarees. The initiative marks Vimala College as the first in the state to engage in silkworm rearing and silk cocoon production on campus. With backing from organizations like the Central Silk Board and the Keralam government's Poverty Alleviation Department, the project aims to foster a 'silk economy' in Kerala by promoting self-employment and entrepreneurship among students. The long-term goal is to develop a campus-branded Kerala silk saree.
