Catalytic Development Programme (CDP) |
|
CSB,
being a Science and Technology (S&T) based Research and Development
organization, the main thrust has been on Research based activities. The
Board is covering areas like Research and Technology Development, Seed
maintenance & production and development of Sericulture & Silk
Industry. As a part of its developmental initiatives, CSB has
implemented Catalytic Development Programme (CDP) as a Centrally
Sponsored Scheme during IX & X Plan period, in association with
concerned State Sericulture Departments and other implementing agencies
to supplement their efforts in achieving the objectives set for the Plan
periods. CDP is the flagship Scheme of Sericulture, being implemented by
Ministry of Textiles through Central Silk Board in collaboration with
States. It consists of various components and sub-components for
promotion of all varieties of silks in The
objective of the programme is to focus on complete and holistic
development of Sericulture Industry in the country involving States and
beneficiaries for sustainability, and improvement in output in terms of
quality and quantity. The CDP is a unique and effective tool for
transfer of technologies evolved by the Research institutes in the field
and has made a visible impact on quality of silk produced in the country
since IX Plan. The
Catalytic Development Programme (CDP) consists of various components and
sub-components under Mulberry, Tasar, Eri and Muga Sectors. The
programme is continued as a “Centrally Sponsored Scheme” with
certain modifications but in a package-mode during XI Plan. The
components are beneficial for both existing and new farmers for
practicing sericulture. The State Departments of sericulture have to
identify existing as well as new farmers and offer the components
according to their requirements from out of the basket of components.
The packages under CDP covers three major areas – Seed sector, Cocoon
sector and Post-cocoon sector and would be supplemented by other
components of Support Services, which are common to all packages. Within
each package, flexibility has been built-in to cater to the specific
needs of different seri-zones in the country.
A sum of Rs.80.82 crores, Rs.90.74 crores, Rs.144.06 crores and
Rs.164.28 crores has been spent / released by CSB towards implementation
of various components / schemes under CDP in different States during the
years 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 (upto October, 2010)
