Bare Act

The Punjab Silkworm Seed Control Act, 1953

This Act establishes a mandatory licensing system for the production, transportation, and distribution of silkworm seed across the state of Haryana. It applies to anyone engaged in rearing or trading various silkworm species, including mulberry, tussar, muga, and eri. By requiring manufacturers and sellers to obtain licenses and ensuring that breeding stock originates only from authorized sources, the legislation prevents the spread of disease and guarantees the quality of the raw silk supply. This regulatory framework underpins the economic stability of the sericulture industry by imposing strict standards and administrative oversight.
