CMER&TI, Lahdoigarh, Assam
In order to provide R&D support to muga and eri silk industries in North East India (Assam, Manipur and West Bengal), CSB established Central Muga Eri Research Station at Titabar, Assam in 1972, which was later bifurcated into Regional Sericultural Research Station, Titabar for mulberry research and Regional Muga Research Station, Boko during 1982 for exclusive research on muga. Again during 1987, CSB established Central Muga Research & Training Institute at Lahdoigarh, Jorhat, which was renamed as CMER&TI in 1999, with a mandate to serve as the apex R&D institute for muga and eri. CMER&TI has two RSRSs located at Boko (Assam) and Imphal (Manipur) and a network of three RECs. With inclusion of RSRS Imphal during 2019, the institute has also initiated R&D on Oak Tasar.
