KUMARAPPA NATIONAL HANDMADE PAPER INSTITUTE

The Institute was set up as an autonomous body under KVIC-Ministry of Micro, Small

and Medium Enterprises (formerly Ministry of Agro & Rural Industries) Govt. of India,

after the successful culmination of UNDP- KVIC project on “Strengthening Of

Handmade Paper Industry In India” in the year 1997. The Institute is dedicated to applied

research & development for the growth for handmade paper sector. The Institute is

equipped with the laboratory, pilot plant and training facilities and acting as a torch

bearer of Indian handmade paper industry. Looking into the present and future

requirements of Indian handmade paper industry the institute has been focusing its R&D

activities to explore alternative and cost effective locally available ligno-cellulosic raw

materials. Energy conservation, environmental management, development and design of

eco-friendly products to improve the competitiveness of handmade paper industry in

domestic and global market Human resource development activities coupled with the

technical consultancy has been helping the handmade paper industry in India and abroad

STATUS OF HANDMADE PAPER INDUSTRY IN INDIA

The handmade paper making entered into India in the 11th

Century and saw its growth to

the zenith during the Moghul period. The industrialization brought the doom for this

industry also during the reign of British empire. The pathetic condition of handmade

paper industry was tried to be salvaged during the efforts of great visionaries, the likes of

Mahatma Gandhi and Prof J. C. Kumarappa. And in the indepedent India, the

responsibility for the survival of this industry was shouldered upon Khadi & V.I.

Commission. And in the year 1991, there happened to be the rise of Kumarappa National

Handmade Paper Institute at Sanganer Jaipur for the revival and strengthening of Indian

handmade paper industry. The industry has seen the tremendous growth since the

inception of the institute because of many focused activities of the institute.

From above it is evident that there has been exponential growth after the inception of the

institute not only in production, sales and capacity utilization but in terms of quality also

because of which the export orders for the Indian handmade paper started pouring in by

leaps and bounds.

The Indian handmade paper got recognition on export market front because of

multifarious efforts by UNDP and KVIC in the form of KNHPI which can be visualized

EXPORT OF HANDMADE PAPER & BOARD

After 2006-07, there has been the global effect on the handmade paper industry, the

western economies getting melting down and affecting the exports of handmade paper

which is heavily dependent upon the foreign market to a very large extent (upto 81%).

Indian handmade paper industry is a tiny industry as compared to the Indian paper

industry. As a matter of fact, it only makes 0.2 to 0.4% of the total paper & board

industry in terms of tonnage and turnover.

EXPORTS OF PAPER & BOARD

EXPORTS OF HANDMADE PAPER & BOARD

From above tables it is clear that Paper & Board as such has increased in terms of exports

as well as production vis a vis 2009-10 & 2010-11 except for CIS & Baltic nations. And

there has been growth of 42% in export of Paper & Board. Out of which the contribution

of Realization is about 4% and 38% is the contribution of increase in Export Orders.

Whereas for Handmade paper & board, there is a net decline of about 15% in terms of

exports. The export market in America is affected cup to 46% whereas European and

Asian Markets are also affected by 26 % and 33% respectively. However the contribution

of Realization is positive except in American markets, therefore it can be said that

erosion is mainly because of decrease in demand.

DOMESTIC AND EXPORT MARKET OF HANDMADE PAPER

12

Although there is decrease in demand of handmade paper in national and international

market but it should not be presumed that the future of handmade paper industry is in the

dark. There is always a silver lining behind the dark clouds. And the fact is that it is

global phenomenon which is not going to remain forever. The per capita consumption of

paper is on the rise everywhere in the world. In India also the per capita consumption of

paper has risen to 10 kg in the year 2010-11 against 4.5 in the year 2000.

Due to increase in living standard of the society, literacy rate in every state of India,

industrialization, modernization the demand of paper is bound to increase. Forest levels

in the world are decreasing because of huge deforestation occurring to manufacture paper

& board. Although there is more stress on use of recycled fibre and that has increased in

our country also i.e. up to 40% from 30% but still 30% of paper production is dependent

upon forest based raw materials.

India having forest cover of about 20% as per the information given above, can not afford

to lose its forests further to harm its ecology and environment. Also a country of size of

ours with huge proportion of unemployed youth can not go for big industries which are

functioning in a very mechanized way. The solution to un-employment and environment

is just one and that is handmade paper making. Number of small scale handmade paper

based on locally available non-forest based raw materials which are not only available in

plenty but cheaper also, can be set up with less amount of capital investments. The capital

required for big paper mill is very high and runs into multi crores. Thus the handmade

paper industry can be seen as a prospective industry for the time to come, though facing

challenges at present which is hoped are short lived and not going to remain for long.

C. PROGRESS AND ACTIVITIES OF KNHPI

The details of the activities taken up in the year 2009-10 are as follows:

1. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

Keeping in view of the immediate and future requirement of the handmade paper industry

KNHPI has to focused its R&D activities in the following areas:-

1.1 RAW MATERIAL & PROCESS RESEARCH

Identification of ligno-cellulosic raw materials

1.2 CLEANER PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES IN HANDMADE

PAPER MAKING

Application of natural dyes in handmade paper making

Biotechnological applications in handmade paper making

Effluent treatment studies in handmade paper making

1.3 RESOURCE CONSERVATION

Studies on water conservation in handmade paper making

Studies on energy conservation in handmade paper making

Studies on fibre conservation in handmade paper making

1.4 PRODUCT DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

1.1 RAW MATERIAL & PROCESS RESEARCH

Raw material forms the basic thing for the paper. Without raw material, true paper can

not be imagined. The 80-90% of the constituent of paper forms the part of raw material.

In case of handmade paper also, the same is true because the paper is cellulosic in nature

and only those raw material are suitable for handmade paper making which are cellulosic

in nature. Normally Indian handmade paper industry is almost dependant upon cotton

hosiery waste which is 100% cellulosic in nature as it is already processed cotton. And

the process for making handmade paper from cotton hosiery waste is quite simple.

Therefore Indian handmade paper industry has not adopted any other raw material which

is equally suitable for handmade paper. Now a days when cotton hosiery waste is

scarcely available and getting costlier day by day because of the reasons that global

market is under recession and garments/hosiery is converted back to yarn. Therefore

availability and prices are affected very much.

In our endeavour to explore other suitable raw materials (ligno-cellulosic), this year also

the institute did some good work on the following raw materials:

Sun Flower (Helianthus)

Aka fibre (Hibiscus Macrophyllus)

Dhaincha Fibre (Sesbania bispinosa)

Aloe vera

17

Although in the year we planned for raw materials like Water hyacinth (Eichhornia

crassipes), Pine apple fibre (Ananas Comosus), Ramie waste, Thor, whole maize, Aloe

vera and Sun Flower (Helianthus) blended with other fibres but due to certain constraints

of non arrangements of procuring water hyacinth, Pine apple fibre and ramie waste, these

raw materials could not be taken up in the year 2010-11 and some of them have been

again proposed for the year 2011-12. However additional work done on Aka (Hibiscus

macrophyllus) and Dhaincha fibre (Sesbania bispinosa) as per the directions received

from Chairperson KVIC/President KNHPI.

Dhaincha fibre was received from Institute of Rural Research and Development, (An

Initiative of S.M.Sehgal Foundation) Plot no 24, sector 44, Industrial Area, Gurgaon

From the results obtained, it is clear that a single enzyme is not sufficient for improving

the quality of hosiery pulp. Due to its chemical nature different from the pulps obtained

from natural fibers, the only xylanase enzyme may not be sufficient for its biobleaching.

Therefore, different enzymes were used in different permutation combination.

Fresh samples of enzymes that were to be procured from Megaspecific Technologies,

China could not be received due to certain reasons. So, the studies could not be carried

out with those specific enzymes.

1.2.3.3 BIO-RETTING OF SISAL FIBRE

Bio-retting of Sisal Fibre was demonstrated to the persons from UNA Plant Fibre Cluster

Society for Advancement of Village economy (SAVE). Mr.Y.R.Sharma, Mr.Abhishek

and Ms Renu Chauhan visited the institute from 27.12.2010 to 28.12.2010. A project

proposal was also prepared in this regard and submitted with SAVE.

1.4.1 Tissue paper from Jute Fibre using Enzymes

As a part of the ongoing technical consultancy project for making tissue paper

from jute fiber through enzymatic route, enzyme treatment conditions optimized

earlier were utilized for pulping of the fiber on batch scale utilizing the 2Kg

Rotary Digestor. The pulp thus obtained was then processed for making 10 GSM

tissue paper in bulk. The final report prepared and the bunch of tissue papers

produced were supplied to NIRJAFT Kolkata and Eco Dev Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.,

Kolkata for further necessary action at their end. The institute has earned an IRG

of Rs.50,000/- through this activity.

3.2.1.4 COIR-PITH UTILIZATION-CPPRI

The work was carried out on the coir-pith samples sent by CPPRI

Saharanpur. From the Proximate Chemical analysis it was found that coir

pith is high in lignin content and less in holo-cellulose, therefore found

unsuitable for handmade paper making. However the objective of the

study was to utilize the ligno-sulfonates in the black liquor on commercial

basis. Therefore coir-pith was cooked under alkaline – sulfite process. The

yield of coir pith was found to be about 45% and the strength properties

were also very low. Therefore the blending studies were conducted by

mixing the coir-pith pulp with hosiery pulp. The paper of good strength

can be made using hosiery pulp in the range of 25-50%. The Black liquor

obtained from the pulping process was thickened and the thick liquor was

further tested by CPPRI for the concrete admixture. But the results were

not encouraging.

3.2.1.5 TIFAC PROJECT

The project “Technology Gap Analysis Study For Handmade Paper

Industry Cluster At Sanganer” has been sanctioned by TIFAC DST New

Delhi and an amount of Rs 4,94,040 (50%) has been released as 1st

installment in Sept,2009. Under this project, one JRF Ms Neetu Kushwaha

was appointed and she joined on 18th

Jan,2010. Another JRF appointed

could not continue after joining due to her personal reasons. However the

survey of the Sanganer Cluster was started. After survey the mid-term

draft report was prepared to be got validated through a Validation

Workshop proposed to be held on 24th

Nov,2010, could not be organized

and had to be postponed till 27th

Jan,2011. Utilization certificate up to 15th

Feb,2011 and 10 copies of draft report were sent to TIFAC for their

perusal and consideration. A proposal was also submitted for holding a

Sensitization workshop for handmade paper cluster of Sanganer as per the

recommendations of the Validation workshop.

3.2.1.5.1 TECHNOLOGY GAPS

3.2.1.5.1.1 ENERGY

As mentioned above, the power consumption is up to 2.19 KWH/KG of

handmade paper. 35% of the units are only consuming less than 1.0

KWH/KG. 8% of handmade paper units are consuming power in excess

of 1.5 KWH/KG. Therefore it becomes very important to reduce the

power consumption so as to make the industry more cost effective. The

Power consumption can be further reduced by redesigning the Horse

Power requirements of machinery at various levels in the handmade paper

units. The HP in excess of the desired limits at the machinery is just a

waste of national resource.

At Rag Chopper level, HP of the motor varies from 2 to 7.5. The capacity

of Rag Chopper also varies from 50-200 kg/hr. The number of blades

varies from 4 to 8 and size of blade varies from 9” to 15”.

At Beater level, the HP of motor varies from 20 to 40 for 30”*36” beater

which is a very wide range. Also the capacity of the same beater varies

from 75 to 120 kg. HP of 24*30” beater varies from 10 to 25 with capacity

from 40-90 Kg. HP of 18*24” beaters varies from 7.5 to 15 with capacity

from 30-60 Kg. Beaters are also very old.

At Pressing section, only 69% of the handmade paper units are equipped

with Hydraulic Press, 23% are using Motorized Screw Press and 8% are

pressing the sheets manually. The HP of Hydraulic Press 3 to 10. The

duration and the number of sheets being pressed at a time also varies from

10 to 20 minutes and 200 to 500 sheets respectively.

43

At Calendaring machine, the HP of the same varies from 5 to 15 and the

number of plates being used from 25 to 70 even with similar types of

Calendars.

The HP at the Cutting machine varies from 2 to 5 HP and number of

sheets being cut from 100 to 500 at a time.

The HP of the water pump is also varying from 1 to 6 and the efficiency of

the pumps installed is calculated to varying from 34 to 80%.

3.2.1.5.1.2 ENVIRONMENT

Handmade paper industry is a water intensive industry, so there is a huge

consumption of water in making of handmade paper, consequently there is

the generation of large amount of effluent which in turn is affecting the

environment from pollution point of view.

Depth of water from which it is being fetched through submersible pumps

in the handmade paper units based at Sanganer, varies from 180 ft to 450

ft. And the water consumption varies from 12 Litres/kg to 149 Litres/kg.

That itself shows the scarcity of water and the concern to save the same.

The effluent generation from all the 40 functional units is about 500 M3

per day which is approx. 50 L per Kg of handmade paper and is in no way

a small amount.

If we have a glance on recycling of handmade paper industry effluent

Out of 40 units

1 unit is having complete Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) common with

another. (A.L.Paper & Paras) (Excess of effluent given to board industry)

1 unit is recycling the effluent after storing the same in the pit. (S.L.)

20 units are discharging the effluent to drain through the settling tanks.

2 units are giving effluent to other units for making file cover. (Adarsh &

Balaji)

16 units do not have any recycling tank i.e they are discharging waste

water to the drain.

The Characteristics of the Effluent were evaluated as follows:

Before Settling Tank After settling Tank

pH – 6.37-7.83 6.8- 7.81

Suspended solids ppm – 100-600 80- 800

Total dissolved solid ppm – 200- 1600 500- 1750

BOD ppm - 24-396 26- 400

COD ppm - 160 -1960 180-3040

Colour range PCU – 49- 495 28 - 2295

Fibre losses from the effluent were ranging from 0.39% to 11%.

3.2.1.5.1.3 PRODUCTIVITY

Productivity is a measure of output from production process per unit of

input. We studied productivity with reference to following points.

a) Capacity of unit to produce paper from raw material.

b) Manpower in terms of paper/person/day.

In handmade paper units it was observed that there is shortage of raw

material, not full utilization of machines, lack of skilled operators and lack

of advertisement and awareness.

Capacity of unit to produce paper:-

If we talk about the capacity utilization in beater there is huge gap in

capacity ranging from 17% to 83%.

8 units (20%) have more than 60% utilization capacity.

11 units (28%) have utilization capacity between 40 to 60%.

21 units (52%) have utilization capacity less than 60%.

Manpower in terms of paper/person/day.

Productivity per kilogram per day ranges from 2.3 to 50.

8 units (20 %) are producing ≥20 kg paper per person per day.

9 units (22.5 %) are producing 15 ≤x<20 kg paper per person per day.

18 units (45 %) are producing 10≤x<15 kg paper per person per day.

5 units (12.5 %) are producing <10 kg paper per person per day.

Annual turnover:

Due to drawback in production processes, the mirror reflection can be seen

in the annual turnover of the handmade paper industry. It ranges from 1

lakh to 2000 lakhs.

Out of 40 units

5 units (13%) are those which have annual turn-over more than 100 lakh.

3.2.1.5.1.4 QUALITY

In handmade paper industry quality control measures are not being taken

as seriously as desired. Hence the quality of the product (Paper) is getting

affected as is evident from the following test results conducted by KNHPI

at its laboratories:

Consistency :- ranges from 1.43 to 3.14 %.

Freeness :- ranges from 450 to 610 ºCSF.

Tensile Index :- ranges from 7.51 to 24.98 Nm/g

Tear Index :- ranges from 8 to 29.04 mN.m 2

/g

Burst Index :- ranges from 0.55 to 3.96 kpa.m 2

/g

Double fold :- ranges from 12 to 5611.

Quality checks at different levels are not done. The most important

area like Beater is even not paid due attention.

Quality standards are not there.

Manpower employed is not aware about the quality, only concern is

production.

3.2.1.5.2 SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

For the sustained growth of the handmade paper cluster & to make it

competitive both in the domestic & global markets, the following

recommendations have been emerged which needs to be addressed by the

interventions of the Govt. These are placed as below-

3.2.1.5.2.1 Creation of Raw Material bank

A raw material bank is needed to be set up in the cluster assisting in the

purchase of suitable quality of raw material to make it available to the

handmade paper units at reasonable price. This could help the most of the

smaller/medium sized units which can not afford to transport the raw

material i.e. Cotton hosiery waste from the longer distance. It becomes

very difficult for the entrepreneurs even to investment in storage of the

same for 2-3 months time. Further to buy the small quantity of these raw

46

materials they also have to pay more than those larger units having enough

financial resources.

3.2.1.5.2.2 Setting up of Mother Pulping Unit:

Setting up of a mother pulping unit for production of pulp from cotton

hosiery waste & alternative ligno-cellulosic raw material may help the

smaller & medium sized handmade paper manufacturing units to reduce

the investment cost & cost of production of the handmade paper being

produced due to lowering of the operation & input cost of power & other

utilities. Refiners may be introduced in the mother pulping unit.

3.2.1.5.2.3 Strengthening of existing national level HMP institute

(KNHPI) & increased interaction with local units for transfer

of Innovative technologies, HR & training:

A national level institute in the area of handmade paper was set up & existed

in the cluster dedicated for R&D, consultancy & Human Resources

Development which has been catering to the need of the handmade paper

units located in the cluster & other parts of the country. The institute has

been serving these units by way of providing training, consultancy services &

implementation of the new technologies developed at the Institute. However,

it has been observed & noted through personnel interviews with the unit

holders that the rate of transfer of innovative technologies developed at the

institute to the units, Training as well as continued technical support has been

poor & not to the required level. A mechanism needs to be worked out so that

the latest technological development taken place at the institute in the area of

utilization of alternate & locally available ligno-cellulosic raw materials like

Ankara & banana, kheep etc, use of eco-efficient process technologies can be

adopted & the technical expertise of the highly experienced manpower

existed at the Institute can be optimally utilized. This should lead to the

development & growth of handmade paper cluster by way of improved

economics due to the adoption of cost effective production technologies

employing alternate & locally available cheaper raw materials to produce

high quality handmade paper & products. The infrastructure of the institute &

manpower support needs to be strengthened further to enhance the interaction

of the institute & the handmade paper units.

3.2.1.5.2.4 Regional information exchange & communication centre:

Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) – A regional handmade paper centre could be

set up as one stop information of handmade paper producers & converters

located in Sanganer cluster. This centre may have numerous activities option

with an aim increasing & improving the coordination & cooperation for the

purpose of marketing within the country & outside country.

47

3.2.1.5.2.5 Branding of Sanganer Handmade Paper & Products:

As yet, there is no specific handmade paper brand in the market. Handmade

paper/products in Sanganer cluster were found to be comparatively of

superior quality compared to the handmade paper produced in other part of

the country.

With more emphasis on use of cleaner production technologies viz. Chlorine

& acid free processes coupled with the use of alternate locally available

ligno-cellulosic waste fibrous raw material and adoption of energy & water

conservation concepts, the paper & products thus produced would be of

uniform & better quality. This might be instrumental in guaranteeing the

branded Sanganer products as eco-friendly handmade paper & products. This

way the branding would allow the Sanganer handmade paper & products to

stand out in the crowd of international market thereby providing it a

marketing advantage both in domestic & international market.

3.2.1.5.2.6 Preservation of old & traditional craft of Sanganer

Handmade Paper

The original craft of producing Sanganer paper as introduced during the

Mughal era is quickly disappearing from local knowledge. Since only one

family in Sanganer is using the traditional handmade paper making process.

This needs to be preserved & promoted with the intervention & support of

Govt.

3.2.1.5.2.7 Create a Color Bank –

The coloring of Sanganer paper is a process that relies mostly on chemical

dyes to produce attractive shade of paper & products for domestic &

international markets. Many dyes particularly the Azo dyes used are not

permitted & banned by the international authorities. These dyes are mostly

used being cost effective & provide darker shades over by using in lower

quantity and are available in small quantities at low cost price.

3.2.1.5.2.8 Setting up of common effluent treatment plant: -

The COD/BOD ratio of handmade paper units range from 3.63 to 9.0

depending upon the quality of raw material, type of dyes and other chemicals

and fibre losses. Handmade paper units are using direct dyes for dyeing the

pulp for making colored handmade paper. The sizing chemicals (Rosin,

alum, Neutral size) are also used to impart sizing properties to the paper to be

used for printing purposes.

Some of the units were partially treating the effluent by filtration and then

sent the effluent to sedimentation/stabilization ponds. It has also been

48

observed that in some units the sedimentation tanks were used to collect the

effluent in which effluent reside for many days which may be beyond its

hydraulic retention time. Therefore in some units the effluents after

sedimentation tanks were showing deterioration in effluent parameters.

There is need of complete effluent treatment plant comprising of primary,

secondary and tertiary treatment to remove color from the effluent.

Primary Treatment

The first step in waste water is removal of suspended solids by simple

filtration or thickening techniques that may help in recovering fibres from the

effluent.

Secondary Treatment

The coagulation of the effluent and then biological treatment of waste water

is proposed to make effluent more biodegradable. The recent biological

treatment methods include Upflow Anaerobic fixed packed bed

reactor/Upflow anaerobic Sludge Bed reactor. The accelerated settling by

lamella settler is proposed which requires less space and is highly efficient.

Tertiary treatment

The tertiary treatment which may include chemical oxidation

method(ozonation, UV/Ozonation, Hydrogen Peroxide-Ozonation) is

proposed for removal of remaining color after primary and secondary

treatment.

The common effluent treatment plant is proposed in different area of

Sanganer Cluster.

The different regions can be identified in Sanganer where handmade paper

units are clustered in a row.

Effluent treatment facility may not be possible to be set up in the industrial

small units due to high capital & operations cost. In view of the strict

legislation from the pollution control authority & societal concerns about

the discharge of colored effluent from handmade paper units, setting up of

common effluent treatment plant in the cluster should greatly help in

overcoming the problem of pollution due to discharge of colored effluents

which can otherwise prove to be very harmful.

3.2.1.5.2.9 Increased use of Alternate Raw Material:

To cope up with the problem of the raw material shortage, the options are

available in the form of various ligno-cellulosed based natural fibers that can

be used as alternative raw materials for making handmade paper. Other

potential option is utilization of recycled fibre like shredded currency waste,

office waste, old newsprint along with long fibre pulp of bast fibres to make

exquisite grade of handmade paper employing the technology know how

developed at KNHPI. The possibility has been explored on using recycled

fibers along with blend with rags or bast fibers for making common variety

of handmade paper or board. Some of the countries which are using

maximum amount of recycled fibers are Netherlands (76%), Germany (73%)

and Japan(56%). The recycled fibre can be utilized to make handmade paper

of reduced cost maintaining the standards required for handmade

paper/product.

51

3.2.1.5.2.10 Creation of Skilled work force through HR & training:

The problem of skilled workers availability can be sorted out through

conducting extensive skill development programmes in the local areas

especially targeting to the rural youth and women entrepreneurs.

3.2.1.5.2.11 Promotion & Adoption of Technologies:

Kumarappa National Handmade Paper Institute has been continuously

working in the area of eco-friendly process technology to produce eco-

friendly paper. The institute has developed various technologies like Alkaline

Peroxide Pulping, Sulphite Pulping, Urea/Lime Pulping , Bio-retting, Bio-

bleaching, utilization of natural dyes and effluent treatment system etc. These

need to be adopted by the industry.

3.2.1.5.2.12 Increased use of recycled back Water:

To cope up with the problem, recycling of the waste water is the best option.

It is very easy to reuse the waste water generated during the

pressing/screening section. Similarly, the waste waters generated during the

stages of pulping, bleaching etc. can be reused after minor treatments.

3.2.1.5.2.13 For Standard pricing of the paper products &

Introduction of Standards:

It can be possible only when some sort of standardization of the handmade

paper and paper products can be carried out with the help of the agencies like

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), KNHPI & CPPRI etc.

3.2.1.6 S&T KVIC PROJECTS

3.2.1.6.1 To improve the formation and physical and optical properties of

paper made from alternative ligno-cellulosic leaf fibre like Banana,

Pineapple and Bast fibre like Jute Sunn Hemp, Ankara, Bhimal :

The project sponsored by S&T KVIC has been carried out for the said raw

materials and report from Jan-2008 to March-2009 has been sent to S&T

• From the studies carried out so far, it was found that the enzymes can play a very

important role in improving the quality of handmade papermaking from banana

fiber especially in the case of machine extracted fiber.

• With a very simple enzymatic treatment at ambient temperature, the problem of

pith associated with such fiber can be sorted out , thereby resulting into an

improvement in strength properties besides the brightness value of the pulp

54

obtained from all the three categories of pulping (open digestion, APP and

Alkaline sulphite pulping) processes.

• Further studies are being carried out.

• As a part of the activities of this project, the institute has recently procured

3.2.2 UNA PLANT FIBRE CLUSTER

UNA Plant Fibre Cluster was visited upon by Mr. A. K. Sharma Dy.

Director KNHPI on 13th

July,2010. Una Plant Fibre cluster Society For

Advancement of Village Economy (SAVE) is equipped with the Non IBR

Diesel fired baby steam boiler, Rotary Digester (20-25 Kg cap), Beater

12”*15”, Auto vat, Screw Press Manual 22”*28”, Tausoki Dryer (four

sided), Calendar Machine9*30, Paper Cutting Machine 36”, Grass Cutter

( Toka type), Fibre Extractor (two nos)- one big SS non magetic cover 3

phase 5 HP two men working, size 1.2*1*1.4m, ( Sisal 50 Kg per day,

Banana 20 kg/day) and Other small SS non magnetic 3 phase 3 HP,

1.2*0.6*1.4m (Sisal 20 kg/day, Banana 8 kg/day), Carding machine SS

non magnetic cover, 3 phase 2 HP (1*0.6*1.3m) Collection box

1*0.6*1m, Single ply machine (size 1.1*1*1m) (30 kg per day

rope/sutali) 3 phase 1 HP, Single ply machine paddle operated.

The cluster is extracting fibre from Sisal and using the same to make the

craft items. The shorter strands of sisal fibre are mixed with Sabai Gras to

make handmade paper & paper products like file cover and carry bags.

The Problems of the cluster:

1. Handmade paper making project has been taken up at a low scale

as per the configuration of machinery. Now the capacity of the

plant is a bottleneck as per availability of huge quantity of Sabai

Grass.

2. The handmade paper from Sabai Grass 100% is weak in strength

and therefore it is difficult to market the same.

3. The wastage of sisal fibre in the raspador is very high due to

mechanical action. The sisal fibre extraction is done mainly for

making handicraft items from long stands of sisal fibre and shorter

fibre is not suitable for handmade paper making due to lot of green

pithy matter attached with that. Only after processing the same on

the carding machine some of the green pithy matter gets separated.

4. The cluster is facing the problem of marketing of handmade paper

& products made from Sisal fibre and Sabai Grass.

The problems of the cluster were studied and the areas where the intervention of KNHPI

becomes important were suggested.

3.2.3 SEWA AHMEDABAD

SEWA Ahmedabad was visited by Mr. A. K. Sharma Dy. Director KNHPI

on 12th

Aug, 2010 to do the survey for setting up of a handmade paper &

product plant for the women artisans. Two project reports were submitted

with them for necessary approval from KVIC for the proposed projects.

59

OBSERVATIONS :

1. SELF EMPLOYED WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION (SEWA) is involved

in various types of activities for upliftment of women and its activities

are spread to various states. One of the activities for which the survey

was conducted is the conversion activity which is being done by some

of the women under the supervision of Ms Minal Trivedi at Astodia

Ka Pol and Rajgomtipur.

2. The conversion centre at Astodia Ka Pol is equipped with one

Guillotine Cutter for cutting of sheets of paper.

3. The Centre is involved in making various types of products of

excellence from waste paper (News paper). The females are making

items like Box files, Stationery Note-Books, Registers, Paper ball

pens, Paper jewellary, Letter Boxes, Book marks, Photo frames, table

coasters, carry bags etc. they are getting good demand of paper

jewellary, coasters and carry bags.

4. The centre at Rajgomtipur is equipped with File Master, Perforation

Machine, Screw Press, Punching Machine and Guillotine Cutter. The

females are making carry bags from Newspapers, paper beads for

jewellary, coasters, stationery pads etc.

5. After making the products, the value addition work is also done by the

women using different colors with lacquer.

6. The Centre at Village Pij, Kheda is about 4 Km away from Nadiada

(about 60 Km from Ahmedabad). No conversion activity was being

done at this centre while the four ladies whom the undersigned met got

trained at KNHPI Jaipur. The reasons as told by them are that they are

not equipped to do the same. There is no place for them to do this

activity as the centre is doing other activities of IT training, SITE

(Satellite Instructional Television Experiment) though ISRO and

RUDI there. The land belongs to ISRO. They may not allow them to

construct another shed for handmade paper plant or conversion plant.

However it was observed that the hall where educational training is

given through satellite is quite big and same can be used for

conversion activities.

7. The matter was also discussed with Mrs. Uma Swaminathan and she

assured that the authorities of ISRO can be made understand the

objectives of the handmade paper plant and conversion plant.

8. The issues were also discussed with Mr.Vijender D.O.HMPFI KVIC

Ahmedabad.

60

COMMENTS :

1. The centre involved in conversion activities are already doing good

job by making cost effective and beautiful items from waste

newspapers. To further strengthen them, they can be given further

training at KNHPI Jaipur/IICD Jaipur/NID Ahmedabad.

2. The handmade paper conversion plant can be started at SEWA

Centre at village Pij- Kheda in the same hall where teaching centre

is running. The hall is quite big (about 25*50’).

3. A part of the hall can be used for some of the machines and

materials.

4. Timings of the conversion activity can be adjusted with that of

training in that hall. As the training is given for one-two hours and

that too on particular days. For rest of the time the hall remains

idle.

5. For handmade paper plant a shed (about 40*60’) can be made

beside the existing building if the authorities permit.

Another Project Proposal was also submitted for making File Cover/File

Board using waste paper employing handmade paper process. The waste

paper as such being weak in strength has to be blended with some long

fibre (in this case it is cotton hosiery waste). The blending can be done up

to 20% as proposed in the Project proposal however the same can be

reduced if the file cover/file board have enough strength. For all

calculation purposes, blending of cotton hosiery waste has been taken as

20%. The File Cover/ Board can be made in 60-100 kg ream wt. The

paper can be made in 40 Kg ream wt also for making cost effective carry

bags as per demand of the market.

3.2.4 SIANG INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS

DPR was prepared for Siang Innovative Products based on Banana Fibre

to be set up at Along Arunachal Pradesh. Mr. Gaken Ete Secretary water

Resources Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh visited the institute on 24.01.2011

in this connection alongwith Mr. Madhu Sudan Sharma.

Utilization certificate up to 15th

Feb,2011 and 10 copies of draft report were sent to

TIFAC for their perusal and consideration. A proposal was also submitted for holding a

Sensitization workshop for handmade paper cluster of Sanganer as per the

recommendations of the Validation workshop.

Apart from validating the mid-term draft report, other recommendations of the validation

workshop were:

i. During the discussions & deliberations, it was also felt that there is a great

potential of the handmade paper both in domestic & global market. However,

there is a need to develop the eco-friendly and easily adaptable process

technologies and to identify the alternate fibrous raw materials to produce

handmade paper & products at cost effective prices so as to change the perception

about the items of handmade paper & products, which is generally considered to

be costly and beyond the reach of general public.

ii. It was also suggested that the stake holders who could not participate in the

workshop should also be taken into confidence and their views and suggestions

should also be included in the final report.

iii. It was suggested that KNHPI should submit a proposal for sensitization workshop

for the industry entrepreneurs to generate awareness and to adopt the eco-friendly

and energy efficient technology to make their industry globally competitive.

iv. It was also suggested that KNHPI should make efforts to form a formal

association of the industry entrepreneurs of Sanganer in order to get the maximum

benefit from the TIFAC intervention.

v. It was also proposed that KVIC should also be a partner for the proposed follow

up activity. An assurance letter from KVIC should be obtained in this regard.

vi. It was also felt that not only the Sanganer cluster but also the other clusters in

India will be benefited by this study.

16. ADB-KRDP SURVEY

The Asian Development Bank has given a loan of Rs 150 million dollars

under Khadi Reform & Development Package (KRDP) to the Government

of India. The Ministry of MSME has entrusted the said assignment to

KVIC. With the assistance of Asian Development Bank(ADB), KVIC has

taken up revival programme of Khadi and selected traditional village

industries under the scheme of “Khadi Reform and Development Package

(KRDP)”. Handmade paper industry has been included in the list of

village industries. The package includes total development of cluster with

artisans engaged and it needs to be implemented professionally as well as

in a time bound manner. The modalities of the scheme are complete

development of the cluster.

The Directorate of HMPFI, KVIC, Mumbai has initially identified eight

clusters for the said assistance. With the extensive information and data

collected from the survey of the eight identified clusters of handmade

paper, three potential clusters are to be identified. It is also mentioned in

the guidelines of the scheme that the survey could be conducted by the

technical agency of SFURTI approved by the Ministry in a time bound

and professional manner.

In this case also, the job of survey of the identified clusters of handmade

paper and papier machie was given to Kumarappa National Handmade

Paper Institute (KNHPI) who is also the technical agency of SFURTI

cluster of Handmade Paper being implemented at Handmade Paper Centre

Radaur Yamuna Nagar.

In view of the above background and considering the existing demand and

marketing potentiality of handmade paper in and outside the country as

well as to redirect the craftsmen towards the industry, the revival proposal

as per following details are being proposed for obtaining financial support

under Asian Development Bank.

Following are some of the clusters which were very effective in the past

and may be identified in the initial stage for revival under the financial

support of the package of Asian Development Bank:

Khuldabad Cluster Near Aurangabad, Maharashtra

Junnar Cluster, Pune Dist, Maharashtra

Kota Cluster, Kota Distt. Rajasthan

Sawai Madhopur Cluster in Sawai Madhopur Dist.,

Rajasthan

Jammu& Kashmir Cluster ( Paper Machie units) Near

Srinagar

Kalpi Cluster, Uttar Pradesh

87

Karur Cluster, Tamil Nadu

Mukto Cluster Near Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh

The problems faced by the above mentioned clusters are different for

specific clusters. However, the main problem may be identified as

insufficient funds with the clusters. Besides to this, problem in marketing,

improved machine and technology, training of craftsmen are also some of

the reasons. In some of the clusters, poor organizing capacity of the

institution may also be observed.

In the first instance, KNHPI is required to identify the clusters in the

above areas. Apart from that KNHPI is required to study the present

status, problems faced by the artisans/management of the clusters,

machinery and technology required for revival, assessing the training

needs, assessment of working capital and other financial needs, needs

towards marketing of products and overall potentiality of the cluster. A

specific time limit for each segment may be provided to the agency for the

said study.

Aims of Cluster Survey are to identify the three/ four potential HMP

clusters out of the above mentioned eight clusters on the basis of market

potentiality of products which could be developed with the assistance of

Asian Development Bank under KRDP programme of KVIC, to collect

general information about these proposed clusters in the prescribed format.

For the present work, KHULDABAD cluster, AURNAGABAD

MAHARASHTRA was taken up for evaluation of its potential through

extensive survey.

The key objectives of the survey were as follows:

Assessment of available infrastructure in the form of land

and buildings in the cluster .

To evaluate the existing system of the cluster activities,

programme and beneficiaries and suggest improvements /

modifications thereof, if any.

To assess the impact of the identified cluster activities with
