The investigation was conducted in the year 2020-21 at Sonitpur district of Assam with a sample size of 120 muga silkworm rearers. The study revealed that major problems faced by the mugarearers are lack of self-awareness or interest on adoption of technology, lack of glamour, lack of own land, adverse climatic condition, non-availability of storage facilities for cocoons, lack of adequate knowledge regarding cultivation practices of host plants and rearing practices of muga, non-availability of regulated cocoon market, non-availability of own vehicle and delay in getting loan.
