Global Silk City Network

• Bengaluru has become the first Indian city to become a member of the Global Silk City Network.
• Global Silk City Network helps artisans and craftsmen to exchange knowledge, build trade relations and understand various craftsmanship techniques.
• At present, 13 best silk-producing cities and nine countries are members of this network. West Bengal’s Murshidabad district — known to produce fine silk over the past 300 years — may join the Global Silk City Network in future.
