The age-old traditional domestic handloom tasar silk weaving industry of Bhagalpur has a global identity today. It is an intangible cultural heritage, handed down to us by our ancestors. Therefore, it is our responsibility to pass on this legacy safely to the next generation. The Government of India has initiated several schemes to protect the handloom weaving tradition. Under which they talk about providing necessary weaving facilities, common facilities and necessary infrastructure for them. Recently, for the upliftment of handloom weaving of Bhagalpur in the past years, the plan of Bhagalpur Mega Handloom Development at the block level has been announced by the Handloom Commissioner. This business has not only historical but also social and economic importance. The method of manufacturing the traditional Tasar SILK is also quite special and emotional in itself. Whereas during the manufacture of Malbari and other silk sarees, about 2000 silk cocoons are boiled alive and killed, in the manufacture of traditional tasar silk, the cocoon is allowed to mature until the larva inside it becomes a silk moth. Do not fly away, only after that the cocoon is used. In the whole process of this traditional Tasar silk manufacturing, not a single SILK MOTH is killed till the silk cloth is manufactured. This traditional method is an example of being sensitive to the environment. For this reason Tasar silk is also known as Ahimsa silk, its other names are Bhagalpuri silk and Wild silk. Tasar silk, apart from being shiny and attractive, is also known for its natural texture, strength, and comfort. It is also used during many religious functions. The city of Bhagalpur itself has been a historical city, which is described in the Mahabharata as Angpradesh, which has been the Karma Bhoomi of Maharathi Karna. According to Hindu mythology, the mountains used in Samudra Manthan are today in Bhagalpur, which we know as Mandar Parvat. In the sixteenth century BC, one of the sixteen Mahajanapadas was the state Anga Republic. Apart from these, the ruins of Vikramshila University built by the Pala dynasty point towards its old splendor, education system and the authenticity of Buddha.en_US
