TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: Mission Senehjori. Mission Senehjori was launched by Jyotiraditya M. Scindia to transform Assam’s Muga silk into a globally recognized luxury textile brand. The mission is being implemented by the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region in collaboration with the Government of Assam, Central Silk Board and Ministry of Textiles. Mission Senehjori aims to strengthen the entire Muga silk value chain, including cultivation, production, branding, exports and tourism. Muga silk is produced exclusively in Assam, is India’s first GI-tagged silk product, and accounts for nearly 90% of global Muga silk production. The mission adopts a cluster-based approach across major Muga-producing districts and promotes digital traceability, quality assurance and export promotion. By 2028, the mission targets five modernised Muga reeling units, one Muga Spun Mill, 30 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) and over 1,180 Farmer Interest Groups. The initiative aims to regenerate 5,000 hectares of Som and Soalu host plants and provide GI-linked authentication for over 80% of traded Muga silk. Mission Senehjori also promotes silk tourism through the proposed Muga Silk Trail, Silk Tourism Park and annual Muga Utsav.
