FOREWORD

Team MGIRI is truly excited in presenting the Annual Report of 2009-10 because it is the first such

report of the new staff. To them it is an exhilarating feeling to be a vehicle to carry forward the

mission of Bapu (who founded AIVIA, the earliest version of MGIRI, in 1934) to build Gram-Swaraj with its economy based on rural industries.

As directed by the Executive Council MGIRI prepared its basic campus infrastructure so that it could demonstrate innovative avenues of employment generation in crisis-stricken regions like Vidarbha. Innovations became its major agenda: innovation not only in products and processes but also in organising industries in new ways so that they could easily tread the path of quality and productivity. MGIRI’s scientists went into the grass roots schemes like SFURTI and identified the technological bottlenecks. Its innovation agenda became truly demand driven.

MGIRI is happy that artisans around the country have shown tremendous enthusiasm in the potential of MGIRI’s technologies to bring about improvement in the fields of khadi, bio-processing, craft and energy. MGIRI is happy that it could address some of the problems most fundamental to the KVIC. The commission’s prompt action in field trial of MGIRI’s most important initiative namely Solar Charkha is indeed laudable. The field trials have indicated that a spinner could be enabled to earn a wage beyond hundred rupees per day. This has brought in rays of hope.

MGIRI’s plunge into the basic needs sector (namely food, shelter and clothing), it is hoped, will result in productivity, cost reduction and quality.

The pages of the Annual Report, it is hoped, will convince the reader that MGIRI staff have reason to be optimistic.

Chapter 1

EMERGENCE OF MGIRI AS AN AUTONOMOUS NATIONAL INSTITUTE

Mahatma Gandhi initiated the All India Village Industries Association (AIVIA) in 1934 in Maganwadi, Wardha and was physically present there during 1934-36. He invested his important disciple Dr J C Kumarappa as its Secretary and involved prominent scientists and industrialists like Sir C V Raman, Dr J C Bose and Shri G D Birla as his advisors.

Through a special act of Parliament the Jamanalal Bajaj Central Research Institute (JBCRI) was established in 1956, under the KVIC, in the same place as an institution dedicated to R&D for Rural Industries, thus taking over the functions of AIVIA. Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Rural Industrialisation (MGIRI) is a result of revamping of JBCRI into a National Institute to cope with the challenges brought in by globalization. IIT Delhi was involved in this revamping process from 2001 to 2008 through a project under KVIC. Though autonomous functioning of MGIRI started from January 2009 its effective functioning could start only from April 2009 when the first batch of staff joined duty.

Thanks to the new enthusiastic staff with industrial background and the timely guidance from the Executive Council that MGIRI could equip itself in terms of a few important employment oriented directions of rural industrialization MGIRI’s scientists focused on equipping the labs. This resulted in the updating of Khadi & Textile, Bio-Processing and Herbal, Chemical, etc. divisions with the needed facilities. A campus with total WI-FI connectivity and modern equipments have helped to motivate the scientists and helped setting targets of innovation, quality-guidance, and entrepreneurisation.

1.1 Focus on innovation and new models of industrialization

MGIRI was organised on a hub and spokes model and was ordained to evolve approaches that will make rural industries globally competitive with greater employment generation.

To achieve such a vision the MGIRI was to adopt a five-fold strategy: (i) S&T intervention for identifying and solving problems of micro, small and medium industries(ii) Inculcating the culture of innovation among rural industries at the level of products, raw materials,

packaging, marketing and linkages (networking) to ensure enterprise- success.(iii) Creating quality consciousness and working out possible quality guidance structures(iv) Evolving community scale technologies on the basis of man-machine approach to achieve

productivity without sacrificing employment and (v) Working out HRD strategy to achieve all the above.

Taking the guidance of Executive Council, the MGIRI has taken ‘innovation’ as the focus of MGIRI. The innovation vision has to be derived through ‘hands on’ experiences of problem identification from the grassroots and also in applying ‘innovative’ solutions in current situations of industrializations. Thus MGIRI has proposed the process through two projects namely:

- Innovations for Rural Industries and System (IRIS) and

- Vidarbha's Industrial Development Aimed at Re-stabilisation of Burdened Agriculture (VIDARBA)

9

The newly joined staffs were trained through an innovative orientation programme consisting of:

o Visit of backward areas / tribal pockets needing innovative models of industrialization o Visit of KVIC’s campuses (for e.g. Nashik, Dahanu, Borivali)o Meeting with the officials of KVIC to understand what is required from MGIRIo Visit to a large number of Industries to understand their problemso Meeting activists / industrialists / visionaries besides visiting international fairso Training in basic capabilities like project making, use of modern ICT, innovation techniques

The process was carried out during April-November 2009 and has made a durable impression on the staff and sensitised them to the needs and aspirations of rural sector.

Chapter 2

ADVANCED FACILITY CENTRE AT MGIRI (‘UDYAMI KENDRA’) TO PROVIDE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT IN THE REGION

With a view to develop innovative industrial models that could be globally competitive, MGIRI has chosen the Wardha region itself to carry out a pilot project on rural industrialization as part of the phase-I of project ‘VIDARBA’. Since Wardha is deficient in infrastructure needed to kick-start the process of industrialization in a few selected directions MGIRI decided to create certain minimum necessary infrastructure under the name of Advanced Facilities Centre (AFC). The AFC is now known by the Hindi name ‘Udyami Kendra’.

2.1 Advanced Facilities Centre in the Engineering Direction Advanced Engineering Work Centre (AEWC)

It was noticed that though there is enormous potential for micro enterprises to come up they cannot afford certain advanced facilities (eg. to create costly moulds, dyes, jigs and fixtures besides advanced designs and sophisticated processes of fabrication) necessary for bringing out products of global standard.

Since one of the objectives of MGIRI is to evolve models of industrialization, the MGIRI campus itself was restructured to serve as a supportive infrastructure for the ‘would be’ industries of Wardha and Vidarbha region.

The facility besides providing assistance and expertise to all departments of MGIRI in developing / upgrading technologies is expected to serve as a resource centre to the upcoming industries in the neighbourhood by providing modern workshop infrastructure as a professional support structure.

The facility has the necessary modern machineries like numerically controlled lathes, milling machines etc.

capable of ultra-high precision and capable of attaining very high productivity.

Such facilities are also necessary for bringing out newly designed machines into the market in crucial areas

of rural industries- particularly where no entrepreneur is willing to manufacture the machines.

2.2. Design Studio

Two types of design studios have been set up in MGIRI: o design studio suitable for khadi & crafto design studio suitable for engineering

The design studio for textile and crafts has more than 20 workstations and are equipped with software related to Computer Aided Textiles Design (CATD) and costume designs. Since Khadi & Textiles division of MGIRI is expected to provide innovative fabric and costume designs to Khadi institutions in the country through web, the preparation of such designs is going on at present in MGIRI. The facility is also used by the craft division to evolve fashion khadi products and other designs needed for a variety of craft sectors. The idea of Design Studio has been well received by the khadi sector as evidenced by the demand from the KVIC that it be replicated in its Nashik campus and also evidenced by the request from Gujarat that a Centre for Excellence in Khadi-Textiles Design be created at Ahmedabad. Albums containing more than 200 designs with technical sheets are ready for distribution.

The Engineering wing of Design Studio is evolving necessary software that helps create not only drawings related to real life design innovations but also for their visualisation.

2.3 Craft innovation workstation Under MGIRI’s Rural Craft & Engineering division a model of ‘Craft Innovation Workstation’ has been made functional. This consists of ten artisan's huts in which artisans from different parts of the country could be trained for 3 to 6 months. This will help them to cross-fertilization of ideas pick up technologies and get equipped with organizational capabilities including marketing.

At the moment the huts are being used for turn-wood crafts, art pottery, terracotta jewelry, souvenir designs etc.

Some samples of products developed at MGIRI stand testimony to the rich inputs that this section of creative design has embarked upon. Major directions in which initiatives have been taken include: cane & bamboo craft, bell metal craft, leather craft etc.

2.4 Innovation Center

In keeping with the direction from the Executive Council that MGIRI should focus on demand-based innovation (of products, processes and organization) the institute started working on the problems that are nagging the KVI sector. It started analyzing nearly 100 SFURTI clusters under KVIC, Coir Board and DC-MSME and came up with a list of 26 problems-about 6 of them, particularly in food processing, being generic in nature.

The Centre is multi-disciplinary in nature and has been established to take up design innovations both for machines and processes. A number of innovations, worked out during 2009-10, have been tested in the field in Khadi as well as food processing sectors. Details of impact-making innovations are presented in chapter 3.

2.5 Incubation Centre

The major objective of MGIRI’s Incubation Centre is to create first generation entrepreneurs in a number of innovative rural industrial directions whose potentials have not been realized so far in terms of rural employment / rural enrichment.

14

The Target groups / Beneficiaries:§Innovators§Graduates / Technicians from Colleges, Universities and other training institutions, having

innovative and creative industrial ideas / projects for commercialization§Individual entrepreneurs with new product ideas

The incubation centre has two types of programmes:1. Programmes based on the pattern of the schemes operated by the DC-MSME2. Short Incubation Programme (SIP) for small and micro entrepreneurs

The proposed duration for SIP will be 4 to 12 weeks. It is based on the premise that for tiny and micro enterprises involving simple processes often assisted by suitable production machineries shorter periods are sufficient. However, the duration should be long enough to provide sufficient confidence in setting up and managing the concerned small scale enterprise. Longer periods of 6 months and 12 months are under consideration and the idea of forming a network to conduct it with the involvement of industries is also taking shape.

2.6 Quality Control & Guidance

Quality control and Guidance system for Micro and Small industries have not yet been fully worked out in the country in favour of the rural sector. When such facilities are established they will be able to provide:

?Support to Micro and Small enterprises to produce quality products and become globally competent.

?Savings in terms of time and money presently spent in accessing costly testing facilities available at far away locations.

MGIRI’s labs are being equipped to provide testing and quality guidance in the following directions:?Chemical testing for plant extracts, herbal drugs and other products, bio-manure, cosmetics,

shampoo, soap /detergent, hair oils besides soil and water; and chemical analysis related to fabric etc.

?Biological testing to investigate microbial contamination in herbal drugs / plant extracts / herbal products etc.

?Mechanical testing for physical properties of fibre, yarn and fabrics.

Note : It is expected that the labs will be ready for full fledged testing and quality guidance with effect from 2011. Currently the process of standardization / accreditation of the lab itself is in progress.

Chapter 3

MGIRI ON INNOVATION FRONT

3.1 Field trial of technology: the solar charkha

MGIRI launched a viable solar charkha in the KVIC exhibition at Jhalawad, Rajasthan during 19-20 May 2008. In view of the fact that it could enable a spinner to earn more than Rs.100 per day there was very high level of enthusiasm among artisans to this technology. After seeing consistent high response in nearly dozen Khadi Exhibitions / Karigar Sammelans, the KVIC, in 2010, initiated the field trial of Solar Charkha in 6 zones of the country. The success of this field trial could imply the revival of more than one lakh charkhas lying unused in view of their inability, presently, to fetch decent wages to the spinners.

Technologically MGIRI’s approach to solar charkha has demonstrated the possibility of increasing the earning capacity of the spinners. For example it has been proved that the use of solar charkha in Nagaland for silk reeling could enable individuals to earn more than Rs 250 per day. Similarly its potential to enable many categories of differently abled persons to earn Rs 100 to even Rs 300 (if equipped with multiple charkhas) per day will be considered as a breakthrough.

Understanding of the needs of Tamilnadu and other areas have brought in hopes of liberating the spinning sector from the vagaries of power failures and ushering in an era of decentralized spinning. In economic terms the Wardha experiment as part of the VIDARBA-I project (details in chapter 4, section 1) has proved that the price of garment could be drastically reduced while more than doubling the daily earning capacity of the workers.

It is hoped that perhaps this sustainable technological initiative could be the answer for which the Father of the Nation made a clarion call to the scientists in the 1920’s.

3.2 Prominent MGIRI Products under development

A highly user-friendly hank dyeing machine has been evolved with the potential of saving the dyeing workers from drudgery, imperfection and low productivity.

This batch processing machine has the capacity of handling five kg yarns in a eight hour day and has the innovative added functionality of drying the dyed yarn if necessary. This innovation has elicited tremendous response when displayed in the exhibitions / khadi melas during 2009-10 at various places of the country including Surat which is the textile capital of India. The design / development is due to a team headed by Mr Deep Varma, Coordinator, Innovation Cell and is expected to be ready in the near future for commercial production.

?Innovative Neutraceutical, food and herbal Products:

The Bio-processing and Herbal Division is working for development of innovative neutraceutical products capable of enhancing immune system by providing vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The development of fortified Amla products with calcium lactate / calcium gluconate, bio-available by nature, and improving the nutritional value of the products is under progress. Syrups made with the herbal extracts in consideration of various therapeutic categories like women care, Natural calcium syrup, cough syrup are made uniquely with the help of new technique enhancing shelf lives of the products. In addition to the content certain interesting innovations have been introduced in the delivery styles of certain classical neutraceuticals like Chyawanprash (after fortification etc.) For e.g. Chyawanprash produced in the form of Chyawan-squash and biscuits with Chyanwanprash as sandwich. The laboratory has also ventured into innovative Soya based products and is studying the economic viability of modern processes like spray drying.

?Packaging machine:

An affordable packaging machine has been developed by the innovation cell for the packaging of dry products like chilli, turmeric, spices and many more applications at costs about one third of the traditional machines. Entrepreneurs, even from the tiny sector, can afford to have a packaging machine of their own thereby giving them a tool for modern marketing. The low cost product has been achieved by using the approach of ‘Man-Machine System’ introduced by MGIRI. The product received overwhelming response in the exhibitions across the country and is getting readied for commercial production / franchising.

?New bio-products based on rural waste:

The Bio-processing division has embarked on evolving micro enterprises based on wastes like human hair, de-oiled cake etc. to obtain ‘plant growth promoters’. Entrepreneurial efforts have started based on human hair.

3.3 Action on the technologies developed in MGIRI during the project mode of MGIRI (2001-08)

Out of the 12 technologies developed / patronised by IIT Delhi 8 were taken up by the MGIRI either for up-gradation or for active dissemination in collaboration with the KVIC; and out of the remaining 4, two had been successfully demonstrated and had been taken over by the KVIC for implementation while the remaining two had been franchised to private groups through the initiative of the MGIRI Core Group at IIT, Delhi.

For example:?The hank dyeing machine which was earlier developed as a

lab model was substituted by an innovative new design for higher capacity to fulfil the dyeing needs of the textile clusters. The prototype development has been completed.

?The potter’s wheel has undergone radical changes on the basis of user's feedback and has led to a ‘Solar potter’s wheel’.

?The earlier design of energy efficient potter’s kiln has been taken up for more general fuel burning situations particularly related to metal handling situations in a variety of artisan trades.

?Standardization of Panchgavya products like phenyl, tooth powders, hair oil, face pack, mosquito repellent coil and dhoop sticks etc developed during project mode have been carried out as per Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India and other authorities.

?The soap testing kit has been made more user-friendly and portable through an advanced design for its ‘kits box’. The two testing kits for bio manure are also nearing a more rigorous scientific scrutiny.

The issues that prompted the R&D in the beginning of the project phase have been taken further into investigations / experimentations that could lead to product innovations with the potential of additional employment generation. A typical example is:

?Development of natural clay colours & its commercial application in terracotta jewellery in Waigaon and Seloo in Wardha district.

3.4 IRIS: Innovation for Rural Industrial Systems

MGIRI initiated its innovation programmes by picking up problems from the ongoing scheme SFURTI relating to khadi, village industries and coir. 25 problems were identified through intensive interaction with the SFURTI projects at the grass roots. Five problems emerged out of the directions initiated during the ‘project period’. Substantial progress has been made in the solution of a few problems - as indicated in the beginning of Chapter 3.

The innovation efforts of MGIRI have been formulated under the umbrella project IRIS whose salient details are given below:

Core Theme of the schem• Finding innovative solutions to 30 problems in existing industries• Pro-active innovation in generic topics of 2 thrust areas.

Chapter 4

NEW DIRECTIONS OF RURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The present chapter describes MGIRI’s efforts in evolving an industrial model with reference to the draught affected regions near Wardha. As per the advice of the Executive Council the efforts were split into two simple doable phases. MGIRI scientists concentrated first on Wardha - with the understanding that the pilot experiment will result in plans capable of impacting the rural economy of the ‘affected’ parts of Vidarbha. Details follow.

4.1 VIDARBA-I: Vidarbha’s Industrial Development Aimed at Re-stabilization of Burdened Agriculture

MGIRI’s maiden efforts in the direction of rural industrialization resulted in the project VIDARBA. The name clearly indicates the context and the intent.

Working along the philosophy of ‘AGRINDUS’, MGIRI’s scientists identified that the commercial agricultural environment of Wardha region should be the basis for a sustainable rural industrialization plan. It was observed that cotton is a basic crop but the industrial aspect of value addition was not upto the requirement. It was also observed that soya-bean has emerged as a competitor and being a new agri-direction technology related to value addition aspect has not effectively the region although the technologies are available elsewhere. The region is endowed with other commercial crops like turmeric, banana, rare medicinal seeds like Bhilava (Semicarpus anacardium) each having enormous potential for commercial exploitation.

Although most of the traditional artisanal directions are nearly dead, renewed directions could be opened up.

To get the process of industrialization initiated in the region MGIRI decided on two approaches:

?To enable the farmer technologically to achieve at least one level of value addition to his produce and thus ensure the profitability of his agri-venture.

?To consider the possibility of total value chain clusters so that further value additions through SHG federations, entrepreneurs, etc. are possible.

MGIRI initiated a campaign in Wardha to create the necessary awareness. The response from the farmers and entrepreneurs was extremely reassuring.

It was discovered that most of these value addition enterprises will need a new generation of machineries (often involving scale-reduction from medium industry context to micro industry context) necessitating a process called ‘Community-Scaling of Technologies’.

Pending this mega venture of redesigning (refer to initial projects of IRIS in chapter 3) MGIRI went ahead helping entrepreneurial groups wishing to take up innovative technology based employment generation ventures. The VIDARBA-I formulation in its original form depicts the initial situation.

The salient details of VIDARBA-I are presented below:

Collaboration and enterprise Funding

• DRDA, Wardha - Food, Craft Funding;• DIC - Linking up scheme funds Lead Bank, NABARD, DIC, KVIC• MIDC, MAVIM - SHG linkup• Industrial Consultancy Platforms (Tech. Inst)

Discussions at the level of Executive Council resulted in the decision that the process be initiated with reliance on existing schemes.

The scheme agencies, depending upon the number of scheme slots available, could accommodate certain enterprise proposals - the others waiting for future slots. Certain enthusiastic entrepreneurs preferred to get started on their own without relying on the bank inputs.

The very first crop of entrepreneurs in Wardha region (2009-10) inspired by MGIRI’s Innovative technologies are indicated in the following table.

4.2 Innovative enterprise models: The case of Solar Fab Mart (SFM)

Through its study MGIRI came to the realization that in a cotton dominant region like Vidarbha the crisis faced by farmers could be brought to an end if:

?The farmers are enabled to undertake at least one stage of value addition - for eg. Ginning. Further they should be technologically enabled and organized to undertake the entire stage of pre-spinning operation so that cotton goes out of each Panchayat cluster in the form of roving and not in the form of pressed cotton.

?At least about 10% of the roving is devoted to the integrated economic activity that fits into the vision of ‘cotton to garments’ (Kapas se Kapada tak). For this MGIRI, as encouraged by a few prominent members of Khadi Commission set up a ‘mini cotton cluster’ on the following replicable pattern: i. Solar charkhas operated by women SHGs ii. Improvised looms operated by weaver’s guilds (with facilities to implement woven designs).iii. Garment production units of SHGs with centralised cutting facilities (possibly operated by PMEGP -

supported enterprises) - with feeder services for various embellishments (crochery, embroidery, zari - work etc.) and finishing effects (soft finish, printings, packing etc.) and

iv. A battery of ‘Solar Fab Marts’ linked to the cluster constituted by i – iii above.

The trial Solar Fab Mart established in Wardha and one its constituents units namely the Solar charkha unit are shown in the Fig. 4.2.1.

The cluster concept itself is depicted through the schematic diagram Fig. 4.2.2.

4.3.4 Formulation of a project for North East

A programme of self employment for youth of North East through entrepreneurship: This project has been formulated by MGIRI as a partnership venture with a prominent NGO of North East namely Shanti Sadhana Ashram and with the Secretary (DONER) and with the involvement of the Governments of a few North Eastern states. The region chosen for the project covers the 8 states of North East including Sikkim.

The activities identified will be based on the local natural resources and ethnic resources. The broad areas will be:?Handloom (weaving & Muga reeling) ?Handicraft (Cane & Bamboo craft, jute / banana fibre craft and embroidery)?Food processing and preservation in local produce like pine apple

The project will target at 1600 youths over a period of 3 years. A set of 200 youths will be selected from each state. The approach will be to provide a value orientation before imparting skills so that they become a base to build up constructive programmes in the North East.

4.4 Creation of enterprises through consultancy servicesA large number of micro / small / medium industries have approached MGIRI for assisting them in setting up enterprises. The process was delayed since the necessary rules were ready only around January 2010. In spite of that – enterprises were helped through consultancy process. The maximum such requests (8) were received by the Bio-process and Herbal Division during January 2010 to May 2010.

A number of Consultancy requests are received from countries like Vietnam, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Bangladesh etc. MGIRI will be able to respond to such requests as soon as it is equipped with FCRA. MGIRI would like to share its rural industrial technologies with the SAARC nations / South Asian countries in particular.

OTHER COLLABORATIONS WITH THE KVIC

In Chapter 3 we outlined the major Innovation Initiative taking the SFURTI Program of KVIC as a base.Chapter 4 indicated the Initiatives in MGIRI with the potential of coming up with new sustainable employment avenues that could be funded by PMEGP scheme under the KVIC.

The present chapter outlines a number of other activities in which MGIRI could provide its services to the KVIC.

5.1 Preparation of plan for revamping the Nashik campus:

A report entitled ANIRIT (Ambedkar National Institute for Rural Industrial Technologies) was prepared by the Director of MGIRI on the request of the Chairperson of KVIC. This report, provided a concept outline, to convert the nearly 260 acre campus of KVIC at Nashik into an apex HR development centre networking with the nearly 50 other training campuses of KVIC and help prepare training modules and supporting materials (CBT based multilingual) in frontline industrial technologies, and also to serve as a quality guidance centre to the whole network. This report was also discussed in the second meeting of the Executive Committee of MGIRI on 20-5-2009.

With a view to get started with implementation the Chairperson of KVIC convened a joint workshop of KVIC officials with a dozen scientists of MGIRI during 9-10 May 2009. This resulted in a detailed blueprint for revival of a few select units in the Nashik campus. MGIRI provided intimate guidance in identifying activities, equipments, etc. paving the way for the creation of a Bio-technology Laboratory and few other facilities. Similarly the Khadi and Textile department is engaged in the establishment of a Khadi Design and Development Centre akin to the one at MGIRI.

The DPR for the implementation of the entire project is currently under preparation in MGIRI.

5.2 Proposal for Establishment of a Centre of Excellence in Khadi Design Development at AhmedabadThe Director of MGIRI was advised in November 2009 by the KVIC to prepare a DPR for establishment of a Centre for Research in Khadi in Ahmedabad as an Extension Centre of MGIRI with the support of Gujarat Khadi Gramodyog Mandal.

27

A DPR has accordingly been prepared by MGIRI on the basis of minutes of the meeting dated 11-12-2009 and in consultation with the KVIC Mumbai, KVIB Gujarat, and the Gujarat Khadi Gramodyog Mandal- Ahmedabad.

5.3 DPR for Natural Colour Cotton Project for KVIC with UAS-Dharwad

Naturally coloured cotton is a unique pigmented fibre that grows in shades of green and brown. During 2002, scientists of University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad succeeded in large scale production of naturally coloured cotton. A collaboration between UAS-Dharwad, KVIC-Mumbai and KKGSS-Hubli was emerging. The KVIC approached the MGIRI for formulating the DPR for this ambitious project.

Accordingly a DPR on production of naturally coloured cotton was prepared and submitted to KVIC, Mumbai on 18-4-2010. The DPR also involves the MGIRI in the Progress Assessment committee of the project.Note: Similarly while preparing a DPR on the feasibility of opening a ‘Central Sliver Plant’ (CSP) atChoudwar the KVIC involved Mr Tapas Ranjan Kar, Dy. Director (K&T) and Mr Mahesh Kumar Singh, SSO (K&T) of MGIRI as experts.

5.4 Project on Technology Transfer of Solar Charkha in Khadi sector

The project entitled ‘Technology transfer of solar charkha in khadi sector’ for Rs 17.5 Lackhs with a project duration of 6 months (Jan-June, 2010) was sanctioned by the KVIC-with a view to field test the Solar Charkha developed by MGIRI. Solar charkhas were installed in the following centers where SFURTI projects are

already in progress:

Solar Charkha at Karaikudi, Tamilnadu Solar Charkha at Raibareli

6 Nagaland Khadi Cluster, Dimapur (Silk cluster)

5.5 Project on ‘muslin khadi’: S&T intervention for revival of the traditional manufacturing technologies

Muslin khadi has got a good demand in the export market. But as the yarn and fabic are very fine complications in the manufacturing processes arise. This is a deterrent to most of the weavers and spinners in continuing in the profession.

To introduce khadi artisans / weavers on traditional technology of “muslin khadi manufacturing” in a scientific way as per their need and specialization etc. and to enhance their level of competency to manufacture muslin khadi, a project was taken up by MGIRI with sponsorship of KVIC at Nabadwip Kutir Silpa Pratisthan, Nabadwip, Nadia , West Bengal.

Rs 19.59 lakhs was sanctioned for this project for a duration of two years. The objective of the project was to create a group of young weavers and spinners from the khadi field and to introduce “muslin khadi manufacturing technology” in a scientific way to enhance their level of competency. This will also help to create tentatively 44 young weavers / spinners from khadi sector into the muslin sector.

5.6 Project on ‘MGIRI’ skill development centre: S&T intervention for revival of traditional techniques and introduction of latest technologies in khadi sector

To introduce the khadi weavers / designers of the country on the traditional technology like fibre dyeing, tie and dye technology, fancy yarn production on charkha, batik printing, screen printing, CATD garment manufacturing with latest designs etc in a scientific way with the help of latest instruments and techniques a project was taken up by MGIRI with sponsorship from KVIC.

Rs 36.23 Lakh was sanctioned for this project for a duration of two years.

The objective of this project was to give a boost to the designing aspect of khadi garments and fabrics and make khadi more competitive in the market. Around 80 artisans from certified khadi Institutions are identified to be beneficiaries of the project.

5.7 Project on ‘Improvement in the existing tools and implements used in KVI sector (charkha modification / development)’

In view of the hard manual labour involved and due to poor wages the attraction of manual spinning on charkha is decreasing day by day with the result of decrease in employment in khadi sector.

The Charkha with its present design can spin only upto a certain range of count and twist on the basis of its ‘settings’.

There is no standard (norms) available specifying the force (torque) needed to run an existing charkha with a certain count and with certain productivity.

A two year project was taken up by MGIRI under KVIC with an outlay of Rs 21.5 lakhs.

The objective of this project is to improve the charkha which could permit the production of at least 55-60 hanks per 8 hrs.

5.8 Major technology dissemination workshops

Themes :- Woven design through CATD- Various techniques for spinning, weaving and dyeing for yarn and fabric

Period: 27 January, 2010 to 13 March, 2010 in 4 phasesIn these workshops a total of 63 participants from various khadi institutions through out the country participated.

5.9 Technology inputs into the SFURTI program

Besides its major agenda of innovation based S&T intervention to solve the technical problems faced by artisans of SFURTI clusters through the IRIS program MGIRI has also taken up the responsibility of direct technology guidance to SFURTI clusters. To start with activity has been initiated in the Amla cluster at Pratapgadh, UP.

RASHTRA BHASHA HINDI

Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Rural Industrialization, Wardha has started functioning as an autonomous institute from the financial year 2009-10 since the scientific staff joined duty by March 2009. The creation of administrative posts is in progress and depending upon the composition of the staff of this national institute the strategy for preparing the staff towards the implementation of Rastra-bhasha policy will be worked out.

At this stage with 36 scientific staff (including the Director) it is found that all except one staff are able to communicate in Hindi; therefore efforts are afoot to help this staff member to make quick progress in Hindi.

The following efforts are made to make all the staff learn to communicate in Hindi:

?About 30 minutes in the beginning of the day a community meeting is held with about 90% of the time in Hindi.

?Scientific Seminars are encouraged in Hindi so that scientists develop the capability to communicate scientific and technical matters to the common man in Hindi.

?Technology fact sheets for public information are all produced in Hindi and basic documents like brochures, annual reports etc. are progressively being brought out in Hindi. It is hoped that within a year of appointment of administrative staff this process will reach perfection.

?Letters received in Hindi are answered in Hindi. Letters addressed to recipients who are known to be fluent only in Hindi are sent in Hindi.

?Efforts are on the way to have the web-site in bilingual form.

Special Information: The Director of MGIRI has come up with an innovative Hindi learner called “Fast Hindi” (Twarit Hindi) through which a learner builds a capacity to converse in Hindi right from day one. This book written in a humour -drama style could be adopted by the Government with assured advantages.
