CHAPTER II THE FIELD AND THE PEOPLE Sericulture in Tamil Nadu had long been confined to a few districts alone. However, the introduction of the Intensive Sericulture Development Programme by the Government of India, in the Seventies, led to a rapid expansion of sericulture in the state. The National sericulture Project (NSP), initiated in 1989, has become a boon to the development of sericulture, bringing more districts with substantial sericulture concentration into the sericulture map of Tamil Nadu. Dharmapuri district is in the north western region of Tamil Nadu bordering Karnataka state. It is the pioneering district in Tamil Nadu, in going for sericulture in a big way. Its share in the total sericulture output of Tamil Nadu has been over 60 per cent. As on 1 April 1993 -- as the records of the Department of Sericulture, Tamil Nadu shows-mulberry occupied an area of 12,200 hectares in the district, constituting about three per cent of the total cropped area of the district. The irrigated mulberry area accounts for about 83 per cent of the total mulberry area and forms about 12 per cent of the net irrigated area of the District. There are 23 sericulture divisions under the Department of Sericulture, Tamil Nadu. These are spread over 22 districts of the State. Significantly, five sericulture divisions are located in the Dharmapuri district alone. These include Pennagaram, Hosur and Dharmapuri. Each sericulture division is under the jurisdiction of an Assistant Director of 39
