FOREWORD

The present one is the last Annual Report of MGIRI during the eleventh Five Year

Plan period and aims to highlight the goals and achievements during 2011-12 with

focus on the priority areas, namely, `innovation` and `enterprise creation`. The

attempt during this year has been to consolidate the activities initiated or grounded

during the previous two years.

It is a matter of pride for MGIRI that its role as a `solution-provider` has been

acknowledged by the stakeholders through their dynamic participation and

collaboration. The `solar charkha` has emerged as a good illustration. The KVIC

embraced the intervention, arranged national level field trials and also helped create

pilot projects. The impact has been felt in various state governments also. For

example: Karnataka has initiated action for a pilot project on ‘solar’ garments with an

outlay of about Rs. 5 crores.

MGIRI has quickly followed this intervention through its next innovation: of

improved mechanical design that could reduce drudgery to nearly half while

improving the strength of yarn to that of a mill-yarn. This design breakthrough along

with the global breakthrough of manufacturing photo-voltaic panels with cost less

than one dollar per peak-watt` has paved the way for the emergence of `green

textile` where crucial activities like spinning, weaving, garmenting etc. are achieved

through solar energy. This has led MGIRI to create an innovative enterprise ’Solar

Fab Mart’ (SFM), which has a huge potential.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has responded with great enthusiasm

and has projected MGIRI`s achievements in international and national expos as

India`s proud innovation and this has prompted various countries (like Germany,

USA and a few African states) and platforms (like GIZ, Germany) to come forward

for collaboration.

Other Ministries are also vying with each other to link various innovations of MGIRI

with their activities. Examples are: Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Rural

Development. Details are to be found in the Report.

Just as MGIRI’s interventions supported decentralized cluster based production of khadi-textile through sustainable technologies, it also shaped a decentralized style of energy application for rural industrialization and backed it up with more than two dozen applications in khadi, bio-processing, craft and even agricultural operations like pumping. Similarly MGIRI’s efforts on web based entrepreneurship guidance, web based market link - all got a wide reception from the beneficiary sector. The details of

iv

success of the six units of MGIRI will be clear from a perusal of chapters III, IV,and V.

We have also added a special chapter 12: ‘An overview of MGIRI’s achievement during XI plan’. The reader could clearly see that MGIRI’s mission of responding to the S&T intervention needs of the KVI sector has been given a preliminary trial. By and large the attempts of the founding team to erect ‘Sustainable Rural Economy’ using the ‘Sustainable Rural Resources’ along with its ‘Sustainable Technologies’ has proved to be a positive beginning. The undersigned, who was not part of the above period but is indebted to all the players during the said period for their untiring efforts. He does hope that MGIRI will build up a roadmap of successful rural industrialization in many backward states of India during the 12th plan.

Chapter I

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

1.1 The mandate for MGIRI

MGIRI was set up under the Ministry of M.S.M.E. to harness the available R & D

expertise as well as S&T facilities of the country in favour of Micro, Small and Medium

Enterprises with a focus on the KVI sector. The institute was created by revamping the

Jamanalal Bajaj Central Research Institute, Wardha. The revamping process took

place during 2001-2008 through the joint efforts of KVIC and IIT Delhi and finally the

MGIRI started functioning as an autonomous organization under the Ministry of MSME

since October 2008. It might be noted that the JBCRI itself arose out of the ‘All India

Village Industries Association’ set up by Gandhiji in 1934 in the same campus with Dr

.J.C. Kumarappa as the Secretary.

The Roadmap approved by the Cabinet Committee, while approving the 11th Five year

plan proposal, became the operational objectives of MGIRI for the period: 2007-08 to

2011-12. Its elements were :

(i) To set up a strong two-way linkage between MGIRI and the rural industrialists

and technical experts in professional Institutes so as to facilitate quick availability

of modern science, technology and management inputs for rural industrialization.

(ii) To create a science and technology hub for KVI sector by developing strong

linkages and interface with other Institutions in the field of rural industrialization.

(iii) To build a database of technologies available in KVI sector.

(iv) To facilitate setting up of rural industrial estates and clusters with necessary

infrastructural facilities like power, specialized tool rooms, testing and marketing

facilities.

(v) To undertake and sponsor projects capable of giving substantial fillip to larger

and increased market penetration to selected products of village industry.

2

(vi) To promote innovation through pilot studies and field trials through research,

extension, education and training.

(vii) To conduct specialized human resource development programmes in generic

areas such as Total Quality Management, creativity and innovation besides rural

entrepreneurship development.

(viii) To provide ‘training to trainers’ for the Centers of KVIC and KVIB of state

governments.

The Executive Council advised the MGIRI to make ‘innovation’ and ‘enterprise

creation’ as the major objectives - treating the remaining objectives as part of the latter.

The operational objectives of the various divisions of MGIRI corresponding to the above

institutional objectives could be perused from the various sections of the Chapter XII.

1.2 Achievements during 2011-12

1.2.1 Science & Technology intervention in rural industrial sector:

MGIRI’s interventions to solve contemporary problems of khadi and village industries

sector took the form of machine design, product design, web based information systems

or even innovative schemes.

Prominent attempts during 2011 – 12 are indicated in summary form below leaving

details to Chapter III:

MGIRI succeeded in drastically improving the mechanical design of the 8

spindle amber-type-charka (officially known as new model charka or NM

charka). This needs only about 70 % effort to operationalize, thus reducing

drudgery. At the same time, the strength of yarn has become equivalent to the

mill yarn. With this a great vision of Gandhi (‘the cost of yarn should go down

and down and the strength should excel the mill yarn’) becomes realized.

MGIRI has come up with a single-twist machine for making low count sliver.

This could be used for coarse yarns of count 8 -10 Ne in the villages.

3

MGIRI has added 125 garment designs and 50 woven designs during the year

and disseminated through its website greenkhadidesigns.com. This along with

previously launched few hundred designs has given considerable confidence to

the khadi and textile sector that they could indeed penetrate into newer

segments of the market.

Standardization of 5 products made using local resources and this includes use

of date palm based neutracetical products which could cure acidity, lactation

problems, cough & cold, asthma and gastric troubles.

1.2.2 Entrepreneurship Development: On Entrepreneurship development

MGIRI has gone deeper into a few avenues which either use local agricultural produces

(eg. Soya bean) or recyclable rural waste. Illustrative ones among these are presented

in Chapter IV.

1.3 Successful completion of five KVIC sponsored Projects

Five significant technology training programmes sponsored by KVIC and conducted in

MGIRI during eleventh plan came to a successful end during 2011-12. Since they

clearly indicate certain potential avenues where MGIRI could contribute as a technical

support system of the KVIC , the output details are summarized below.

1.4 Sister Ministries / Agencies / Foreign Governments

showing interest in MGIRI’S Technologies

1.4.1 MSME – MNRE meet inspired by the energy – related innovations

of MGIRI.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has taken keen interest in the S&T

innovations of MGIRI since 2009 – 10. But the interaction became more intensive during

the current year. This is also indicted by the fact that MGIRI was invited by the MNRE in

6 of its exhibitions / programs of National/International nature.

Two programmes during the year 2011-12 are worth mentioning:

i) Conference and Exhibition on Roshani Project in the Rashtrapati Bhavan on 19 May,

2012.

ii) The IITF -2011 (14 -27 Nov. 2011) at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi

5

As a consequence, an inter- ministerial meeting was convened by the Secretary of

MNRE on 02 June 2011. The senior officials of MSME, the CEO of KIVIC besides the

officers of MGIRI participated in it.

A significant suggestion that arose in that meeting was the creation of a FACILITATING

CENTER that could help transfer solar innovations to rural sector.

1.4.2 Planning proposal on solar Garment Concept to KVIB,

Karnataka for Scheme development.

The successful implementation of Solar Garment Unit at Ashti supported by MGIRI was

visited by the Chairman KVIB, Karnataka on 15th December 2011. Based on this visit

the CEO, KVIB, Karnataka had sent a formal request to Director, MGIRI for developing

a proposal on complete solar garment concept and individual business model for

creating a new scheme in the state. A Detailed Project Report on solar garment concept

of a cost of Rs. 5.00 crores along with an individual business model at a project cost of

Rs.5.00 lakhs was prepared jointly by K&T and E&I division of MGIRI and delivered to

the CEO, KVIB, Karnataka. This was sanctioned by the Karnataka Government. The

project is proposed to be implemented in Aimangala village of Chittradurga district,

Karnataka.

MGIRI organized two workshops to discuss „‟Sustainable Development Plan for

Vidarbha.‟‟ The first and second workshop took place on 9 July 2012 and 20 July 2012

respectively. During these brain storming sessions, in which prominent institutions of

the region like VANAMATI also participated, deliberations were made on the resources,

problems and development avenues for each of the eleven districts of Vidarbha with

focus on employment generation and rural economy

Based on the guidelines that emerged from the above workshops two planning teams

were sent around the various districts for an in depth study. This led to district level plan

outlines for all the districts of Vidarbha.

The following approaches became the basis for the sustainable development plans:

Value addition of agricultural produces should be considered as a necessary part

of agriculture.

Cluster approach to rural Industrialization with appropriate Advanced Facilities

Centers (AFC) could be considered in every block where certain prominent

commercial cultivation takes place and possibilities of cluster based value

addition exist.

„Community-Scaling‟ of technology (suited to the participation of SHGs, artisan

groups, local entrepreneurs etc.) will be necessary.

The process of human resource development is a pre-requisite for realizing the

plan.

The Director of MGIRI Dr.T.Karunakaran was requested by Shivaji Shikshan Sansth (SSS), Amravati to help formulate a Rural Economic Zone (REZ) plan for Papal, the birth place of former Union Agricultural Minister and eminent educationist late Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh. For this a series of field studies were undertaken. A meeting was organized at Papal on 8-5-2011. It was proposed by the people that Papal should also be made into a centre where the farmers of about 10 neighboring villages will be enabled to add value to their agricultural produce – since this was the cherished dream of Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh. A concept paper produced by MGIRI was presented by Dr T Karunakaran in a meeting organised through SSS on 27-5-2011. The Secretary of SSS, Dr Ashok Raut presided over the meeting and indicated the keen interest of the Sansth on the project. He promised to form a steering committee having also activist academics who could participate in the project.

The meeting on 27-5-2011 at Amravati

In the annual report 2010-11 the initiatives of MGIRI in creating the model block plan of Ashti, a truly rural and totally unindustrialized block of Wardha district. While planning for Papal the approach was to consider the plan outline of the block (Nandgaon Khendeshwar) in which Papal is located.

5.4 Innovative Social Entrepreneurship training for the terrorism- affected areas of Gadchiroli District The development of the most backward regions has been a challenge and a puzzle since the nation became independent. Neither the bureaucracy nor the political wisdom could resolve the conflicts involved in the physical development / social evolution of the regions. A new attempt to nurture local leadership appears to be a potential approach.

MGIRI‟s aim was to create: a large number of societal entrepreneurs with

- Skills of resource inventory mapping. - Skills in the technologies for value addition to the local resources. - Skills of communication and negotiation ( „soft skills‟) and - Skills of social mobilization.

The greatest challenge was to imbue the youth with social sensitivity which will put them on the way to societal entrepreneurship. It was also a challenge to endow them with communicative skills. The First batch of the above programme had great success in terms of yield. Hence it has been repeated in collaboration with a front-line NGO: FLIGHT INDIA which has deep roots in Gadchiroli.

Gadchiroli Youth understanding certain manufacturing processes. They came up with the design of transport systems suitable for their region.

5.5 ICT- based outreach system

The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises is a very large sector. In fact the cottage

industries and petty-trades also add to this. Thus modern IT based approaches become

unavoidable if we have to reach out to the entire sector. MGIRI‟s efforts in this direction

has led to the creation of www.udyamisahayak.com. –This is the only portal that

provides rural entrepreneurs with information such as

technology applications,

available source,

institutions offering services such as testing, quality guidance, documentation support,

design consultancy,

available sources of raw materials and spares,

available sources with respect to machineries,

institutions providing process training,

facilitating in enterprise development etc.

This web portal also helps in technical problems faced by rural industries.

Chapter XII

GOALS AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF MGIRI DURING XI

PLAN: A CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW

12.1 Overarching objectives of MGIRI

MGIRI came into existence at a time when a large segment of rural industries were

aspiring to become globally competitive, but were lacking the science, technology and

management capability to achieve the same. The aim of MGIRI was to act as a

provider of S&T intervention. This involved the following activity dimensions:

1. S&T intervention for identifying and solving problems of micro, small and

medium industries.

2. Inculcating the culture of innovation among the rural industries at the level of

products, raw materials, packaging, marketing and linkages (networking) to

ensure enterprise-success.

3. Creating quality consciousness and working out possible quality guidance

structures

4. Evolving community scale technologies on the basis of man- machine

approach to enhance productivity without sacrificing employment and

5. Working out HRD strategies to achieve all the above.

These are in fact restatement of the road-map/objectives indicated in Chapter

1.1. The operational objectives of the six divisions of MGIRI, following the

philosophy of management by objectives (MBO) the six divisions of MGIRI

designed their own version of the road map/objectives in such a way that by

implementing the agenda of the six divisions, the goals of MGIRI itself will be

realized. The action plans were based on these operational objectives and the

implementation was subject to budget constraints.

50

12.2 Operational objectives vs implementation of the six

divisions

12.2.1 Bio and Herbal Division

To work as a hub between rural MSMEs and other S &T institutions to identify the problems of the units related to their products, processes and quality.

- MGIRI‟s involvement as a technical agency of the SFURTI clusters (for e.g, Pratapgarh amla cluster) was a good example of hub function. The above clusters were given product ideas, production strategies etc. and SPM (e.g amla punching m/c) for them were identified.

To develop technologies, innovate, value add to arrive at high quality products ( herbal drugs, herbal cosmetics, neutraceuticals, feed suplements, bio fertilizer, bio pesticides, probiotics etc)

- Provide Technological solutions for Khadi Clusters under SFURTI and other Khadi Institutions.

- Providing Demonstrations/training of new technologies

- Providing Testing services - Evolving schemes and policies

suitable for the sector (e.g. MGIRI proposed DSP: Decentralised Sliver Plant as an alternative to exiting CSP : Centralised Sliver Plant. MGIRI has also worked out various enterprise models that could be linked to the existing PMEGP scheme. This has been submitted to KVIC.

e.g. The problem of inadequacy of productive tools with the Ponduru Khadi artisans was brought to MGIRI upon which it not only developed innovative alternatives , but got the same manufactured by an institution located close to the user sector ( details in Chapter-III)

Develop machineries suitable for decentralized Khadi clusters.

- MGIRI has targeted the evolving of the entire range of machines from Kapas to Garments needed for decentralized rural micro industries ( e.g Solar Charkha , improved Muslin charkha , Hank dyeing and mercerizing machines)

Provide leadership in „product design and development‟

- MGIRI has a major design studio .Its trendy designs are delivered to the Khadi garment sector through an innovative portal called www. Greenkhadidesigns.com.

52

Create quality norms, quality testing network and quality guidance systems for Khadi sector.

- MGIRI has created the quality codes/Norms for the Khadi sector.

- It has set up a model testing lab Around 300 Khadi institutions trained under ADB assisted KRDP program of the KVIC.

Dissemination of technologies through modern methods of training including incubation.

Field dissemination of following MGIRI technologies viz,

1. Soft & Stiff finish technology 2. Prototype Hank Dyeing machine 3. Prototype mercerizing machine 4. Dyeing of Khadi with natural dyes 5. Design Development for trendy

- Technology dissemination workshops conducted for various technologies related to spinning, weaving, processing, designing & Garmenting for nearly 200 representatives of KI‟s across the country.

Creation of sustainable model of technology transfer.

- The recently approved DC- MSME scheme of incubation has accepted the SOLAR FAB MART as a major enterprise channel.

- The KVIC has initiated programmes that use MGIRI as a Skill development Centre for all the Khadi Institutions of the Country.

53

12.2.3 Chemical Industries Division

To provide developmental guidance and support in the areas of chemical products and its manufacturing process for rural entrepreneurs and to link frontier areas of science and technology to rural enterprises

To provide authentic/ credible testing services to customers in the national and international markets, this division is in the process of obtaining accreditation by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories(NABL)

To make the product / processes of rural enterprises globally competitive through innovative in –house testing kits for use in the remotely located rural industries.

Equipments like HPLC , GC, AAS have been added for quality testing with accuracy level. MGIRI has developed three low cost kits for in-house quality controls addressing the areas of soap, panchgavya, soil testing and more such kits are to be developed

To develop green technology and sustainable processes based on rural/ agro- resources and also enable the basic needs like drinking water affordable to rural population through an enterprise approach

Development of new products such as epoxydised soya-bean oil based on natural resource is underway.

12.2.4 Energy and Infrastructure Division

Understand the demands in terms of segments needing the smallest level of energy and upwards and workout strategies to fulfill the energy needs through innovative use of local resources.

MGIRI divided the rural industrial activities on the basis of their energy needs and provided solutions as indicated in brackets below: Khadi activity (e.g, solar charkha, solar looms) Artisan trades (e.g, power tools, solar potter wheel) Rural agro industries (e.g, solar dal mill, chilli cutting

m/c, fodder cutting m/c) Note: the energy resources used by MGIRI for the above: Solar, biogas, biomass

To redesign products / processes with a view to optimize energy needs and to arrive at devices / systems/ energy/ mixes to best fit products/ scales/ contexts.

A good example is MGIRI‟s radical improvement of New Model Charkha (NMC) resulting in

a. 30 % increase in strength of standard NMC yarn bringing it almost at par with mill yarn in strength

b. The torque level has shown a reduction of 20 to 30 % (MGIRI test) Note: Many of MGIRI‟s energy designs fulfil the agenda (details in chapter 3 and previous reports)

54

To demonstrate the community „scaling Of technologies‟ through designs of appropriate „man –machine system‟ to ensure employment without sacrificing quality and productivity needed for global competence.

The best example is: MGIRI‟s packaging machine, Auger filler, Liquid packaging machine.

To expedite innovations in the mass consumption sectors of food, clothing and shelter and help bring sustainable life styles and cost reductions through focus on „building –elements‟, „passive-structures‟, substitution/ optimization of transport/ packaging while at the same time encouraging waste recycling.

All the basic need sectors have been touched: Clothing: support to “green textile” movement by creating solar equipment for the entire production range i.e. spinning, weaving etc. Food: solar dal mill, food dryer, turmeric boiler etc Building elements: portable „green toilets‟; rubber & fiber moulds for building elements. Packaging: low cost machine affordable to SHG‟s Waste recycling: biomass briquetting related machines Note: MGIRI has recently initiated work in the direction of „green transport‟.

To enhance human equity/ human dignity through innovative energy-support in terms of working tools/ systems to artisans, women, weaker sections, handicapped etc.

MGIRI‟s energy innovations have targeted people the lowest economy segment: typical example Artisans: power tools, solar potter‟s wheel Women: drudgery reduction in spinning Weaker section: Low cost latrines with innovative septic tank

To help develop the „software‟ aspects like energy audit / energy conservation/ decentralized energy strategies considering viable clusters of panchayats as units of micro level planning

MGIRI has contributed highly on the energy conservation side by developing LED based devices and system. All its design starts from energy reduction strategies.

Note 1: MGIRI has evolving working systems suited for home level as well as small groups Note 2: MGIRI has yet to initiate work on energy audit and software.

Energy systems design for SME sector

MGIRI‟s energy designs are mainly for the lower ranges of the SME sector: namely nano, micro, small

55

12.2.5 Rural Craft and Engineering Division

To upgrade the skill, creativity & productivity of artisans by developing tools and machineries suitable for optimization of different craft work methodology.

• MGIRI has proposed a new framework for enhancing artisan‟s skill , creativity and productivity. The framework advocates:

- Decentralised production network involving the home, hamlet and the cluster node through suitably deployed technologies.

- Use of suitable man –machine system.

- Use of power tools with solar type alternate energy for the creative part of craft work and bulk energy based common work centers for the non creative part of the production chain

- Use of electronic intelligence, where-ever possible.

- Use of web based design dissemination and market linkages and

- A micro industry approach to escape from the shackles of the middle-man.

Along the above lines the division has focused on development of artisans in 5 crafts directions i.e.( terracotta, metal, cane & bamboo, wood, khadi bags) with potentials of mass employment. To assist the artisans in affordable technology, this division is developing low cost and energy efficient tools and machineries for optimization of production process.

To provide science and technology support for value addition & quality improvement and to find remedies to major technical problems that effect global competitiveness.

MGIRI conducted an analysis of all the SFURTI clusters related to craft and identified the science, technology and management intervention needed. Its agenda for the 11th plan has been inspired by these felt needs. For example

- Solar potter‟s wheel suitable for

56

rural area with erratic or minimal power source.

- Power tools. - Solarised energy efficient Turn

wood lathe. - Home scale blunger suitable for

small artisan. - Natural dyes for lacquer turn wood

craft by using shellac and organic vegetable colours for non toxic coating of lacquer turn wood craft toys and products.

To foster creativity, innovation, quality consciousness to enhance ready marketability of products through new styles of production structures and competitive designs.

Introduction of trendy designs: for fancy khadi bags, lacquer turn wood craft products, stackable / folding type of chairs in bamboo, etc. Note: MGIRI‟s plan of evolving quality codes could not be implemented during 11th plan

To develop entrepreneurs among the educated rural youth in special craft zones of the country.

MGIRI is planning rural craft zones in regions where craft related resources are abundant :

- Plan has been created for craft based mass employment in the N E region. An initial batch of 25 artisans have been trained and a long range partnership has been struck with a major agency: Shanti Sadhana Ashram.

- Similar avenues of bamboo based and terracotta based groups have been initiated in the Chandrapur- Gadchiroli region and collaboration has been established with major agencies.

57

12.2.6 Management and System Division

Identify ICT-based innovative solutions for problems faced by MSME with focus on KVI sector/ micro-enterprises and device appropriate delivery systems for the above.

The three web sites : www.ruralhaat.com www.greenkhadidesigns.com www.udyamisahayak.com together provide an ideal ICT package for the rural industries sector. The names are self explanatory and the details have been furnished in the earlier annual reports.

Create effective networking among the micro – enterprises and their stake holders. To help MGIRI function as a reliable hub among S&T and management institutions problems and solutions are shared.

These objectives are achieved by the above web portals, with suitable ground work and IEC inputs through channels for regions / contexts where web approach cannot penetrate.

Generate a database that would achieve the above points with focus on:

- Technology - Innovative products / organizations - Quality / standards of processes

and products

The web approach gradually generates the needed database on the basis of which product design, organization design and development of quality standards and processes could be achieved. Major software developments are in the offing.

Help disseminate the technologies developed by MGIRI and its interface partners through e-learning, computer based training kits etc.

The portal www. udyamisahayak.com launched by the Management and Systems division of MGIRI is to address technology dissemination and networking among entrepreneurs.

Create e-based expert systems in collaboration with interface institutions of MGIRI that would guide MSMEs.
