History
In the beginning of the 20th Scentury the silk merchants of Chak Islam pore, Berhampore and Mirjapur rendered their service for the survival of this industry in their own ways
The names that come first of all are those of Chandrakantaaha and Lalit Mohan Saha, the two brothers of village Chak Islam pore. The eldest one resided in Calcutta for the purpose of the promotion of the marketing of the silk goods and the younger brother resided at Chak Islam pore with the sole object of silk production. This division of work could not improve the prospect either. So they began to think of other avenues. Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, lunched his famous Non-Co operation Movement in 1921. He stressed the importance of the production of indigenous good and the boycott of foreign goods as well.
