Our aim

Our concern was established with the vision of empowering the rural populace through development of non-powered agricultural machineries which were simple and affordable.

With the growing problem of unemployment, especially for the tribal and forest fringe people of our country, we concentrated on developing innovative machineries which would generate livelihood and cater to the needs of the said targeted group.

          We aim at

• improving the economic condition of the targeted groups

• empowering women by provinding effective means of self-sustainance

• utilizing locally available raw materials thereby checking migration

• conserving their age old traditional crafts and skills

• providing effective income generation without dependence on power, especially in remote corners where power availability is a constraint

Based on research findings from competent sources, including I.I.T., Kharagpur, we have launched several innovative products which have proved to be highly acceptable as potential income generators.

At present, we have several such prototypes under development, including ......

1. Hand operated Oil-Expeller specially for non-conventional oil bearing seeds

2. Hand operated Tassar Reeling machine

3. Smoke-less Oven (wood fired)

4. Multi-purpose machine for Bamboo slivering, Agarbati stick making, surfacing etc.
