Shri Vivek Rae, IAS Secretary, Ministry of MSME, Govt. of India Chairman, Executive Council, MGIRI

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

iii 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.

(Dr P. B. Kale) Director December 1, 2012

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.

1 (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.

2 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. Program Target during Total achievement The output 2009-12 during 2011-12 Muslin Khadi – S&T 44 20 weavers and 20 33 interventions for revival Spinner of traditional manufacturing technology MGIRI skill 80 84 weavers /artisans 42 development centre- upgraded S&T intervention for revival of traditional designing technologies like tie and dye , batik, and introduction of techniques of recent vintage

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

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.

5.2 Sustainable Development Plan for Vidarbha

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 opening session of Vidarbha planning in which Dr. Mahesh Sharma, former Chairman of KVIC, Dr Desarde former member of Maharashtra State Planning Commission and Dr. P.B.Kale Additional Director VANAMATI participated. Similar workshops were carried out in most of the districts of Vidarbha .The picture on the right shows the workshop in Nagpur to visualize outline industrialization plan for Nagpur,Bhandara and Gondia.

5.3 Rural Economic Zone (REZ) model sought for Papal – the birth place of Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh

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 on 8-5-2011 at Papal Village 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.

48 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.

49 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 - MGIRI‟s involvement as a technical and other S &T institutions to identify the agency of the SFURTI clusters (for problems of the units related to their e.g, Pratapgarh amla cluster) was a products, processes and quality. 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 The division has developed innovative add to arrive at high quality products products ( herbal drugs, herbal cosmetics, neutraceuticals / food and bakery neutraceuticals, feed suplements, bio products based on amla, soyabean, fertilizer, bio pesticides, probiotics etc) orange, date palm (7 items), herbal drugs and cosmetics products like value added chyavanprash, syrups, herbal tea, skin care products, gulals, henna paste etc. (6 items) panchgavya based products (6 items), innovative plant growth promoter based on waste human hair, bio- fertilizer and bio-pesticide (3 items).

12.2.5 Rural Craft and Engineering Division

To upgrade the skill, creativity & • MGIRI has proposed a new framework productivity of artisans by developing tools for enhancing artisan‟s skill , creativity and and machineries suitable for optimization productivity. The framework advocates: of different craft work methodology. - 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 MGIRI conducted an analysis of all the support for value addition & quality SFURTI clusters related to craft and improvement and to find remedies to major identified the science, technology and technical problems that effect global management intervention needed. Its competitiveness. agenda for the 11th plan has been inspired by these felt needs. For example - Solar potter‟s wheel suitable for

55 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 Introduction of trendy designs: for fancy consciousness to enhance ready khadi bags, lacquer turn wood craft marketability of products through new products, stackable / folding type of chairs styles of production structures and in bamboo, etc. competitive designs. Note: MGIRI‟s plan of evolving quality codes could not be implemented during 11th plan To develop entrepreneurs among the MGIRI is planning rural craft zones in educated rural youth in special craft zones regions where craft related resources are of the country. 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.
