“…Its economic treasures include silk-producing insects, particularly the Muga silkworm (Antheraea assamensis Helfer). Assam is the only place in the globe where all four natural silk varieties -Eri, Muga, Mulberry, and Tasar -can be produced due to its unique environmental conditions (Goswami and Devi, 2017) [12] .

The exploration and exploitation of oilfields in Assam, India, has caused significant socioeconomic changes in the region. However, the expansion of oilfields has jeopardized the indigenous Muga culture, particularly its traditional sericulture practices and socio-cultural structure. This review article investigates the multifaceted effects of oilfields on Muga culture, including environmental degradation, socioeconomic displacement, and cultural transformation. Based on scholarly research and empirical evidence, this review emphasizes the critical need for sustainable development strategies that balance the interests of the oil industry with the preservation of Muga culture and its associated heritage.

It serves as an important tool for rural reconstruction, benefiting the weaker sections of the society [2].…”

A study was conducted during 2020-2021 to analyze the profile characteristics of 120 muga rearers of the Sonitpur district of Assam. The study revealed that the majority of the respondents (42.50%) belonged to the middle age group. Most of the respondents (47.50%) belonged to the category OBC (Other Backward Class) and had their (35.00%) education up to middle school.
