The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is soon going to start its Silk Exchange project in Varanasi, the centre of a famed silk-weaving industry. The Silk Exchange is expected to facilitate the ready availability of silk to traders and sari manufacturers at reasonable prices.
The state government is also working towards opening of the Karnataka Silk Marketing Board (KSMB) office at the Silk Exchange to make available raw silk reeled in the state to weavers making Banarasi sarees in Uttar Pradesh.
