Journal of Environmental Biology

Message from the Guest Editor

           I am extremely glad to be a part of the Special Issue, Volume 44 of Journal of Environmental Biology - 2023, covering research contributions focusing on the vanya sericulture sector. Vanya sericulture meets many of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) with potential to create sustainable livelihoods to poor rural and tribal youth/women populace of the country besides contributing to environmental protection. In this context, the initiative of Editorial Board to bring out exclusive research documentation in vanya sector not only encourages the research growth but also address the social causes. This attains importance in view of many emerging approaches in research/ development and cutting edge technologies to address the wide ranging problems faced by the stakeholders across the silk value chain, for its inclusive growth. While comprehensive information is available in the mulberry sector, I am sure that the present special issue would pave way to help all the concerned in evincing their interest to support vanya sericulture and associated stakeholders.  This would also give the required fillip to much needed collaborative research and convergence initiatives to promote vanya silk industry in the country.

            Eighteen contributions in this Special Issue covering basic and applied research information focusing all aspects of vanya sericulture, would bring in much required cascading impact in future vanya research sector. I am confident that the “Journal of Environmental Biology - 2023, Special Issue-Volume 44” would be very useful for the researchers, students, scholars, scientists, planners and entrepreneurs. I look forward for many other such initiatives from Journal of Environmental Biology in the years to come and wish all the best to those associated with vanya sericulture and silk industry in the country.
