Explanation:

Improved Cultivation and Advanced Retting Exercise for Jute (Jute – ICARE) was launched in 2015 to popularize/introduce some of the better agronomic practices and recently developed microbial-assisted retting among farmers.

Central Research Institute for Research in Jute and Allied Fibres (CRIJAF) has also recently developed a microbial consortium called SONA, to enhance the quantity of fibre yield by 20% as well as its quality in terms of grade by at least 1 ½ grades.

Also, under the project, regular SMSes are sent in regional languages on improved practices in jute cultivation, to registered farmers.
