Sericulture Development Center



Visit to Sericulture Development Center
Khopasi, Kavre

We, the students (Grade 10) of Jagat Mandir Secondary School were taken to the Sericulture Development Centre located at Khopasi, Kavre. We left the school at around 10 am for the destination. We travelled in the bus for around 1 hour. We clicked many photos in the bus. Most of us were busy using mobile phones. The weather was very hot that day. We were all sweating due to the hot temperature. I was clicking pictures in the bus. I also captured some comedy pictures of my friends. And finally, we reached to our destination. We reached there at around 11:30 am.
Then we were shown the eggs of silkworm in which I got to know that yellow eggs are unfertilized eggs whereas the black
eggs are fertilized eggs. Then we went to see the farm of mulberry trees. Next we clicked some group photos. Then, we were shown the smoker where the eggs are kept to be hatched. We were shown the place where larvae were fed. We even saw the machine with the help of which the silk thread is produced. Then we were taken to the class to get more informed regarding the life cycle of silk worm where we got to know various things. We got to know that silkworm performs the complete like cycle. Eggs’ laying is the first stage of life cycle of silkworm in which female silkworm lays about 300 pin head sized eggs. Then comes the larval stage which is the non-reproductive stage of the insect.

It consists of 5 stages. They are 1st instar, 2nd instar, 3rd instar, 4th instar and 5th instar. Then the third stage of lifecycle is Pupa. It is an inactive stage. Then finally comes the final stage i.e. Adult.  So, these are the things that we got to know after visiting the center. Then at around 1 pm we had our lunch and left for the school. So, we came back and continued our classes.
I would like to thank every teachers of our school who directly or indirectly helped to make our visit successful.
Thank You
