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

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.

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.

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

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
Page 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 PRODUCT DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
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.

3.2.1.3 APCFM PROJECT
The Andhra Pradesh Forest Deptt project on Bodha grass is now in
running condition. The machinery had been installed and commissioned
and the unit is working for making handmade paper from Bodha grass.
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.
Page 43
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%.

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.
9 units (22%) are those which have annual turn-over between 50-100
lakh.
17 units (42%) are those which have annual turn-over between 10-50
lakh.
9 units (23 %) are those which have annual turn-over less than 10 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
Page 46
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.
Page 47
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
Page 48
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.
Page 51
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,

• 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

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.
Page 59
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.

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.

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

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
reference to the benefit of handmade paper manufacturers
and converters and overall development of handmade paper
industry in the region of cluster
To evaluate the existing quantum of I.R.G generated by the
identified cluster and to suggest the ways and means for
becoming self sufficient.
