abstract
In India most of the population lives in villages and has a vast diverse culture and tradition throughout the country. Even though India is pretty much developed in all aspects but still we see the tribes existing in many parts of the country. Tribes, usually leave in forest patches with enormous flora and fauna. There are places where tribes live and not aware of outside world, not aware of simple technology and there are tribes where they can’t even have single meal a day and situation goes pathetic. The forest areas where in tribes live has dense trees among which Arjun, Asan and sal plants do exist. These arjun, asan and sal plants generally called as tasar silkworm food or host plants. Hence, these plants can be utilized by tribes in growing or rearing tasar silkworms out of which huge cocoons can be harvested within a very short span, generating man days and money by selling the cocoons. Thus, the money from tasar can fetch bread and butter to tribes. Therefore, Tasar sericulture can be proved as the best profession for upliftment of tribes. The greatest advantage of tasar culture is that it does not require any investment and with simple methods sound cocoon crop can be harvested. Tasar can grow as an indispensable part of tribal culture and medium for the transformation weird wild to economy.
