Mission Senehjorī is a comprehensive cluster-based initiative to transform Assam's unique Muga silk sector into a globally competitive, high-value luxury textile ecosystem
Estimated investment of ₹396-411 crore over three years, including ₹136-151 crore from Ministry of DoNER (MDoNER)
Assam produces 90% of the world's naturally golden Muga silk, which is India's first GI-tagged silk
The sector currently provides livelihood to approximately 2.6 lakh silk farmer and weaver families across Assam
Current annual income for Muga silk producers is only ₹18,000-21,000 per year despite its premium qualities
Mission covers major Muga silk producing districts: Jorhat, Sivasagar, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Majuli, and Sualkuchi
Targets for achievement by 2028:
Establishment of 5 modern Muga reeling units and 1 Muga spun mill
Formation of 30 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and over 1,180 farmer interest groups
Plant regeneration of Som and Soalu species across 5,000 hectares
Certification of over 80% of traded Muga silk through GI-linked system
Digital traceability mechanism for over 8,000 families
Expansion of Muga silk exports to over 2,000 kg per year
Mission aims to develop Assam as a leading destination for silk-based cultural and experiential tourism through:
Development of Muga Silk Trail
Establishment of Silk Tourism Parks
Organization of annual Muga festivals
Involved agencies: Ministry of DoNER, Assam Government, Central Silk Board, Ministry of Textiles, and other central ministries/organizations
Mission employs "whole of government" approach with coordination between central ministries, Assam government, technical institutions, and private sector partners
Muga silk features natural golden color, exceptional durability, and GI-certified traceability
