Director’s Report

Dhriiti has grown at a modest pace since its inception in December 2004. This annual report
gives a brief picture of the developments of Dhriiti as an organisation vis-à-vis its objectives
and ideals in this infant stage of its growth. Dhriiti increased from a 2 full time and 1 part time
employee team to a 6 full time employee organisation over a period of 1 year. This year Dhriiti
was able to generate funds to the scale of Approximately 16 lakhs through different projects in
different parts of the country. It is a pleasure to state that Dhriiti has moved from being a one
table office to a two room one. Dhriiti is growing.

Entrepreneurship Development Cell has been working with schools and colleges in promotion of
a culture of entrepreneurship amongst youth. Dhriiti has been successfully running two
entrepreneurship chapters in Ramjas School, R K Puram and Mount Carmel School, Anand Vihar
in Delhi. Dhriiti has conductd numerous workshops with schools, colleges and British Council
Library in Delhi. It is heartening to see, the trigger of change not only amongst the students but
also their parents who have been a strog support and motivation for the initiative. IdeaLABs,
the 5 day entrepreneurship workshop with students from formal and non formal education
backgrounds was a huge learning for the EDC team. We take immense pride to be part of the
dreams of the youth of India and being a part of their development process.

Micro Enterprise Development and Management division in the last year has focused its
activities towards the Arecanut Leaf Plate Manufacturing Cluster Development Project in
Barpeta, Assam. The MEDM team has been working on all aspects of the value chain of the
industry in order to make it a robust and sustainable industry which would provide livelihood to
a large population from rural Assam. Dhriiti worked with IIT Guwahati in order to develop
Arecanut Leaf Plate Manufacturing Machines which are adept to the climatic conditions and raw
material quality in Assam. It is working on different financial and marketing options available
for the rural entrepreneurs in the industry. This has been possible due to the able support and
guidance of Friends of Womens World Banking, Ahmedabad and the different partnering
development Agencies in the North East.

Research and Facilitation Cell has been involved in different research activities for different
development and corporate organizations to enhance its own as well as the capacities of
different enabling organizations working in the field of entrepreneurship.

We look forward to work for the development of the nation in our own capacities and bring in
the most innovative and interesting ideas for development of the people of India. In service of
the Nation…

About Dhriiti

  Dhriiti- The Courage Within is a Non Government Organization (NGO) registered
  under the Society Act 1860. Dhriiti’s mission is to stimulate a culture and attitude
  of enterprise and entrepreneurship, by creating a pool of next generation
  entrepreneurs, promoting and developing micro enterprises and increasing the
  efficiency of existing small scale industries leading towards a better condition of
  life and living.

  strengths and resilience. It is an endeavor to build and create a spirit of
  entrepreneurship amongst those young minds, who belong to rural and urban
  communities of India and thus create sustainable enterprises.

  The operations at Dhriiti are divided into three divisions. The Entrepreneurship
  Development Cell (EDC) builds the capacity of youth so that they can be future
  entrepreneurs. The Micro Enterprise Development and Management (MEDM)
  division collaborates with grassroots level organizations in setting up sustainable
  enterprises. It also acts as the training ground for enhancing the skill sets of the
  potential entrepreneurs. The third division, Research and Facilitation Cell (RFC),
  provides value added services to existing small and medium enterprises and other
  promoting/enabling organizations and also addresses the internal research needs of
  the organization.

  Dhriiti’s Objectives…

     •   To reduce unemployment in the country through self-employment and
         entrepreneurship promotion
     •   To promote a culture of entrepreneurship and introduce it as a career option
         to the youth of the country
     •   To motivate and build entrepreneurial capacities of young people through
         specialized workshops and integrated training programmes
     •   To set up micro enterprises (both manufacturing and services) for generating
         livelihood for poor and unemployed people
     •   To promote micro-enterprise clusters in different parts of the country
     •   To build a network of grassroots level organizations, government and non-
         government agencies all over India to protect and promote small and

Dhriiti – The Courage Within




Entrepreneurship
Development Cell

   Dhriiti strongly believes in the power of youth to take charge and be the
   torchbearers for taking our country to the next stage of development. We lack
   neither resources nor intellect. However, what we lack today is the courage and
   drive to take a step and make a difference. There is an increasing tendency to fall
   into the rat race and forget about one’s own identity and individuality. It is with
   this thought that the Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) at Dhriiti was
   formed. The purpose of the cell is to develop individuals across socio economic
   backgrounds, who have the courage to dream, the drive to make a difference, the
   ability to believe in themselves and the persistence to convert their thoughts into
   action. The cell works to prepare a pool of next generation entrepreneurs who,
   through their dreams and action, would contribute to the economic and social
   development of India.

   Vision for EDC

   EDC sees itself as not only the training grounds for developing future
   entrepreneurs, but also as a laboratory where youngsters can experiment with
   ideas and prepare their own concoctions. In the next 3-5 years, EDC would expand
   its activities into other cities like Jamshedpur and Guwahati. The geographic
   expansion of EDC would be in tandem with the Micro Enterprise Development and
   Management division of Dhriiti as the purpose is to promote the culture of
   enterprise and entrepreneurship by building entrepreneurs and creating enterprise
   success stories. In the next 3-5 years, Entrepreneurship Development Cell would
   reach out to students studying in low and middle end (including government schools
   and kendriya vidyalayas) as well as upper end schools. EDC would also have a
   university presence and the colleges under the university would be part of the
   university entrepreneurship chapter of EDC. In the past, EDC has been working with
   participants in the non-formal system of education. In future, Dhriiti would be
   working with partner NGOs to provide entrepreneurship training to NFE participants
   from their communities. EDC would also simultaneously work on building the
   capacities of partner organizations so that the entrepreneurship training can
   continue even after our withdrawal.

it. The four day activity comprised of a mixture of children both from the middle
class as well as the underprivileged sections of the society. In IDEALABS, different
aspects of entrepreneurship are taught by involving the children in a simulation

Micro Enterprise
Development and
  Management
   The MEDM division of Dhriiti works to promote and develop small and medium
   enterprises in rural and semi urban areas. Whereas EDC approaches the problem of
   unemployment by training the youth of India to be entrepreneurs, MEDM attacks
   the same problem from the other end by directly setting up enterprises. While
   choosing its projects MEDM follows the guiding principle of scales. MEDM would
   invest its time and money in promoting enterprises that can be replicated easily
   throughout a region, once the initial model is ready. The division intends to set up
   clusters of cottage/tiny industries with their own marketing federations in
   different geographical locations. The enterprises will be set up with the
   sustainability objective in mind so that they are able to continue the business after
   our withdrawal.

   There are many grassroot NGO’s who are doing good work in their own limited
   capacities. Most of them are also into Micro finance activities for some time now.
   However, very few of these agencies have taken a step ahead to implement
   sustainable income generating projects. Dhriiti intends to complement and build
   upon the efforts of such agencies by acting as a lateral agency networking with
   various NGOs and grassroots level organizations to promote and develop Small and
   Micro Enterprises. This division will provide complete end-to-end solutions in
   setting up small-scale units at the community level with the help of the above-
   mentioned network.

   Vision of the division

   MEDM activities shall take a quantum leap both in terms of projects and
   geographical expansion. The key factor though, is how well we execute our first
   major task. Efforts will be laid to ground the first 20 arecanut leaf plate
   manufacturing units in the district of Barpeta by September 2006 and support
   another 20 units by the end of this financial year. Dhriiti intends to build the value
   chain around an institution, which shall manage the activities of these
   entrepreneurs. Post stabilization of Pilot phase in Barpeta, Dhriiti shall expand into
   other adjoining districts of Barpeta and one district of Meghalaya. These districts
   are, Kamprup, Nalbari, Darrang, and Bongaigaon in Assam, and Tura in Meghalaya.
   While the strategy will be the same, as to collaborate with local partners, the
   structure and mode of operations may change depending on the socio politico and
   other factors in the region.


                                         12
Dhriiti – The Courage Within




While Dhriiti would be seeking funds from funding agencies, funding for our partner
NGO’s shall be channelised through various government and other institutional
schemes (like NABARD’s REDP programme etc). Over the next three to five years
Dhriiti shall expand its operations to about 15 districts in Assam and Meghalaya
trying to set up atleast 500 such small manufacturing units and linking them up
with various external agencies.

Besides this project MEDM shall foray into other sectors prevailing in Assam. Two of
them where in we have done considerable research are Handlooms and Bamboo. In
the handloom sector we see a lot of scope at the market end. Dhriiti intends to do
action research during this year trying to figure out markets and draw a strategic
plan to take this forward. We have identified few partners and we wish to take it
up further with their support. In Bamboo we shall currently try and do more
research to find out feasible activities that can be taken up.

Apart from this, Dhriiti will look into expansion into other states namely Jharkhand.
During this financial year we will do an exploratory research to short list feasible
activities upon which we shall begin our work in this state.

Arecanut Leaf Plate Manufacturing Project

In the past year, the Arecanut Leaf Plate manufacturing project has taken great
strides. The project is running in Barpeta District in Assam and aims to create rural
entrepreneurs who will earn their own livelihood.

Arecanut is widely grown in Assam and the leaves of the tree are mostly thrown
away or burned for fuel. Dhriiti suggested a new method of utilization of this raw
material in which the leaf sheath can be used to make plates, cups etc. Dhriiti aims
to partner with local NGO’s and influence local people to take up this activity.

Dhriiti set up a pilot unit in Assam to first test for itself the main problems and
difficulties in Arecanut Leaf Plate manufacturing. Dhriiti’s team also went to South
India to attain the know-how of the entire process. They also scouted for machines
from different manufacturers. After testing machine made by various
manufacturers, including IIT, Guwahati, the final machines have arrived. Dhriiti has
also successfully interacted with Banks and other financial institutions to provide
loans to the individual units. The first lot of new machines is expected to arrive in
mid-August and the first 20 units are expected to be set up by September this year.

Dhriiti wants to spread Arecanut Leaf Plate manufacturing to all parts of Assam
considering that all 14 districts of Assam have an abundance of raw materials.
Dhriiti wants to set up 1000 such small-scale units in Assam and Meghalaya, which
will provide employment to 4000 people

Research & Facilitation
         Cell
      Dhriiti, through RFC, attempts moving towards an environment that is conducive to
      development of the spirit of enterprise. RFC is a bank of knowledge and
      information related to entrepreneurship and enterprise development for various
      parts of the country. This web of information, with the help of networking
      agencies, will be created by conducting various studies, surveys and in depth data
      analysis for the benefit of all the existing small and medium enterprises and other
      promoting/enabling organizations.

      Dhriiti’s vision of RFC is that of an enabling body, which follows the organization’s
      three-pronged approach; this entails working with young entrepreneurs and
      encouraging them to identify and hone their existing skills and abilities. At another
      level efforts are made in the direction of building an environment where this
      potential can be maximized. However in this process there may be some gaps-
      between the entrepreneur and the environment. Since neither can exist in isolation
      RFC is an attempt to discover a working solution and thereby creating a link
      between the two.

      RFC also sees itself being involved in research assignments for different enabling
      agencies like banks, financing agencies and Micro Finance Institutions, specifically
      in the field of enterprise and entrepreneurship development.

      Scope of RFC’s activities…

      RFC focuses on undertaking activities for both external agencies as well as for the
      growth and self-learning of Dhriiti. The external agencies have been classified in to
      two types:

      1. With existing enterprises or entrepreneurs- the purpose being to enable a
      process, whereby their limitations/gaps can be worked upon. This group may
      comprise of different entrepreneurs who have initiated and plunged into the
      enterprise building but lack in some or the other skills to run the enterprise
      successfully. RFC also visualizes itself catering to this particular target group either
      helping them directly or providing proper linkages

      2. With enabling agencies- the attempt is towards building a conducive
      environment for entrepreneurs to grow

Dhriiti – The Courage Within



As for the internal processes and growth of Dhriiti, RFC being the research and
development wing of the organisation, will formulate itself to do relevant R & D
for meeting the organizations’ research requirements essential for
organizational growth and expansion. In other terms RFC is the knowledge
management forum within the organisation.

In a step towards reaching its objectives some of the activities undertaken by
RFC are:

  • 5. Dhriiti – The Courage Within Director’s Report Dhriiti has grown at a modest pace since its inception in December 2004. This annual report gives a brief picture of the developments of Dhriiti as an organisation vis-à-vis its objectives and ideals in this infant stage of its growth. Dhriiti increased from a 2 full time and 1 part time employee team to a 6 full time employee organisation over a period of 1 year. This year Dhriiti was able to generate funds to the scale of Approximately 16 lakhs through different projects in different parts of the country. It is a pleasure to state that Dhriiti has moved from being a one table office to a two room one. Dhriiti is growing. Entrepreneurship Development Cell has been working with schools and colleges in promotion of a culture of entrepreneurship amongst youth. Dhriiti has been successfully running two entrepreneurship chapters in Ramjas School, R K Puram and Mount Carmel School, Anand Vihar in Delhi. Dhriiti has conductd numerous workshops with schools, colleges and British Council Library in Delhi. It is heartening to see, the trigger of change not only amongst the students but also their parents who have been a strog support and motivation for the initiative. IdeaLABs, the 5 day entrepreneurship workshop with students from formal and non formal education backgrounds was a huge learning for the EDC team. We take immense pride to be part of the dreams of the youth of India and being a part of their development process. Micro Enterprise Development and Management division in the last year has focused its activities towards the Arecanut Leaf Plate Manufacturing Cluster Development Project in Barpeta, Assam. The MEDM team has been working on all aspects of the value chain of the industry in order to make it a robust and sustainable industry which would provide livelihood to a large population from rural Assam. Dhriiti worked with IIT Guwahati in order to develop Arecanut Leaf Plate Manufacturing Machines which are adept to the climatic conditions and raw material quality in Assam. It is working on different financial and marketing options available for the rural entrepreneurs in the industry. This has been possible due to the able support and guidance of Friends of Womens World Banking, Ahmedabad and the different partnering development Agencies in the North East. Research and Facilitation Cell has been involved in different research activities for different development and corporate organizations to enhance its own as well as the capacities of different enabling organizations working in the field of entrepreneurship. We look forward to work for the development of the nation in our own capacities and bring in the most innovative and interesting ideas for development of the people of India. In service of the Nation… Anirban Gupta Executive Director Dhriiti – The Courage Within 5
  • 6. Dhriiti – The Courage Within About Dhriiti Dhriiti- The Courage Within is a Non Government Organization (NGO) registered under the Society Act 1860. Dhriiti’s mission is to stimulate a culture and attitude of enterprise and entrepreneurship, by creating a pool of next generation entrepreneurs, promoting and developing micro enterprises and increasing the efficiency of existing small scale industries leading towards a better condition of life and living. Dhriiti visualizes an environment, where the youth are encouraged to explore their strengths and resilience. It is an endeavor to build and create a spirit of entrepreneurship amongst those young minds, who belong to rural and urban communities of India and thus create sustainable enterprises. The operations at Dhriiti are divided into three divisions. The Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) builds the capacity of youth so that they can be future entrepreneurs. The Micro Enterprise Development and Management (MEDM) division collaborates with grassroots level organizations in setting up sustainable enterprises. It also acts as the training ground for enhancing the skill sets of the potential entrepreneurs. The third division, Research and Facilitation Cell (RFC), provides value added services to existing small and medium enterprises and other promoting/enabling organizations and also addresses the internal research needs of the organization. Dhriiti’s Objectives… • To reduce unemployment in the country through self-employment and entrepreneurship promotion • To promote a culture of entrepreneurship and introduce it as a career option to the youth of the country • To motivate and build entrepreneurial capacities of young people through specialized workshops and integrated training programmes • To set up micro enterprises (both manufacturing and services) for generating livelihood for poor and unemployed people • To promote micro-enterprise clusters in different parts of the country • To build a network of grassroots level organizations, government and non- government agencies all over India to protect and promote small and medium enterprises (SMEs) • To build a knowledge pool on entrepreneurship and SME sector by conceptualizing and undertaking different research activities 6

  • 8. Dhriiti – The Courage Within Entrepreneurship Development Cell Dhriiti strongly believes in the power of youth to take charge and be the torchbearers for taking our country to the next stage of development. We lack neither resources nor intellect. However, what we lack today is the courage and drive to take a step and make a difference. There is an increasing tendency to fall into the rat race and forget about one’s own identity and individuality. It is with this thought that the Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) at Dhriiti was formed. The purpose of the cell is to develop individuals across socio economic backgrounds, who have the courage to dream, the drive to make a difference, the ability to believe in themselves and the persistence to convert their thoughts into action. The cell works to prepare a pool of next generation entrepreneurs who, through their dreams and action, would contribute to the economic and social development of India. Vision for EDC EDC sees itself as not only the training grounds for developing future entrepreneurs, but also as a laboratory where youngsters can experiment with ideas and prepare their own concoctions. In the next 3-5 years, EDC would expand its activities into other cities like Jamshedpur and Guwahati. The geographic expansion of EDC would be in tandem with the Micro Enterprise Development and Management division of Dhriiti as the purpose is to promote the culture of enterprise and entrepreneurship by building entrepreneurs and creating enterprise success stories. In the next 3-5 years, Entrepreneurship Development Cell would reach out to students studying in low and middle end (including government schools and kendriya vidyalayas) as well as upper end schools. EDC would also have a university presence and the colleges under the university would be part of the university entrepreneurship chapter of EDC. In the past, EDC has been working with participants in the non-formal system of education. In future, Dhriiti would be working with partner NGOs to provide entrepreneurship training to NFE participants from their communities. EDC would also simultaneously work on building the capacities of partner organizations so that the entrepreneurship training can continue even after our withdrawal. 8
  • 9. Dhriiti – The Courage Within Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow This is the program started by Dhriiti to give entrepreneurship training to the students of schools and colleges. In the past year, Dhriiti has established entrepreneurship chapters in two schools which are Ramjas and Mt. Carmel School. In addition, Dhriiti has conducted various workshops in different schools and colleges throughout Delhi, the list of which is given above. Ek Naya Aasman Ek Naya Aasman is an initiative by Dhriiti in coordination with Youthreach to teach entrepreneurship among the Non-formal education sector. Dhriiti has to develop the course module and start implementation in financial year 2006-07. This project is for the duration of 3 years and will be implemented with the help of 6 other NGO of Delhi. The project is funded by Lucent Technologies, USA. ENA aims to reach out to 1850 children in its extensive 3 year program which will enable the underprivileged children get the required skill to enable them to undertake their own venture. IdeaLABS IDEALABS workshop is an annual 4-day workshop conducted by Dhriiti. This year’s IDEALABS was held in Indian Social Institute and 20 children took an active part in it. The four day activity comprised of a mixture of children both from the middle class as well as the underprivileged sections of the society. In IDEALABS, different aspects of entrepreneurship are taught by involving the children in a simulation game called ‘Bandhustan’. The game was developed in-house by the Dhriiti team.

  • 12. Dhriiti – The Courage Within Micro Enterprise Development and Management The MEDM division of Dhriiti works to promote and develop small and medium enterprises in rural and semi urban areas. Whereas EDC approaches the problem of unemployment by training the youth of India to be entrepreneurs, MEDM attacks the same problem from the other end by directly setting up enterprises. While choosing its projects MEDM follows the guiding principle of scales. MEDM would invest its time and money in promoting enterprises that can be replicated easily throughout a region, once the initial model is ready. The division intends to set up clusters of cottage/tiny industries with their own marketing federations in different geographical locations. The enterprises will be set up with the sustainability objective in mind so that they are able to continue the business after our withdrawal. There are many grassroot NGO’s who are doing good work in their own limited capacities. Most of them are also into Micro finance activities for some time now. However, very few of these agencies have taken a step ahead to implement sustainable income generating projects. Dhriiti intends to complement and build upon the efforts of such agencies by acting as a lateral agency networking with various NGOs and grassroots level organizations to promote and develop Small and Micro Enterprises. This division will provide complete end-to-end solutions in setting up small-scale units at the community level with the help of the above- mentioned network. Vision of the division MEDM activities shall take a quantum leap both in terms of projects and geographical expansion. The key factor though, is how well we execute our first major task. Efforts will be laid to ground the first 20 arecanut leaf plate manufacturing units in the district of Barpeta by September 2006 and support another 20 units by the end of this financial year. Dhriiti intends to build the value chain around an institution, which shall manage the activities of these entrepreneurs. Post stabilization of Pilot phase in Barpeta, Dhriiti shall expand into other adjoining districts of Barpeta and one district of Meghalaya. These districts are, Kamprup, Nalbari, Darrang, and Bongaigaon in Assam, and Tura in Meghalaya. While the strategy will be the same, as to collaborate with local partners, the structure and mode of operations may change depending on the socio politico and other factors in the region. 12
  • 13. Dhriiti – The Courage Within While Dhriiti would be seeking funds from funding agencies, funding for our partner NGO’s shall be channelised through various government and other institutional schemes (like NABARD’s REDP programme etc). Over the next three to five years Dhriiti shall expand its operations to about 15 districts in Assam and Meghalaya trying to set up atleast 500 such small manufacturing units and linking them up with various external agencies. Besides this project MEDM shall foray into other sectors prevailing in Assam. Two of them where in we have done considerable research are Handlooms and Bamboo. In the handloom sector we see a lot of scope at the market end. Dhriiti intends to do action research during this year trying to figure out markets and draw a strategic plan to take this forward. We have identified few partners and we wish to take it up further with their support. In Bamboo we shall currently try and do more research to find out feasible activities that can be taken up. Apart from this, Dhriiti will look into expansion into other states namely Jharkhand. During this financial year we will do an exploratory research to short list feasible activities upon which we shall begin our work in this state. Arecanut Leaf Plate Manufacturing Project In the past year, the Arecanut Leaf Plate manufacturing project has taken great strides. The project is running in Barpeta District in Assam and aims to create rural entrepreneurs who will earn their own livelihood. Arecanut is widely grown in Assam and the leaves of the tree are mostly thrown away or burned for fuel. Dhriiti suggested a new method of utilization of this raw material in which the leaf sheath can be used to make plates, cups etc. Dhriiti aims to partner with local NGO’s and influence local people to take up this activity. Dhriiti set up a pilot unit in Assam to first test for itself the main problems and difficulties in Arecanut Leaf Plate manufacturing. Dhriiti’s team also went to South India to attain the know-how of the entire process. They also scouted for machines from different manufacturers. After testing machine made by various manufacturers, including IIT, Guwahati, the final machines have arrived. Dhriiti has also successfully interacted with Banks and other financial institutions to provide loans to the individual units. The first lot of new machines is expected to arrive in mid-August and the first 20 units are expected to be set up by September this year. Dhriiti wants to spread Arecanut Leaf Plate manufacturing to all parts of Assam considering that all 14 districts of Assam have an abundance of raw materials. Dhriiti wants to set up 1000 such small-scale units in Assam and Meghalaya, which will provide employment to 4000 people 13
  • 14. Dhriiti – The Courage Within List of Activities 1. Currently, the first project under this division has been undertaken in Barpeta District of Assam.

  • 16. Dhriiti – The Courage Within Research & Facilitation Cell Dhriiti, through RFC, attempts moving towards an environment that is conducive to development of the spirit of enterprise. RFC is a bank of knowledge and information related to entrepreneurship and enterprise development for various parts of the country. This web of information, with the help of networking agencies, will be created by conducting various studies, surveys and in depth data analysis for the benefit of all the existing small and medium enterprises and other promoting/enabling organizations. Dhriiti’s vision of RFC is that of an enabling body, which follows the organization’s three-pronged approach; this entails working with young entrepreneurs and encouraging them to identify and hone their existing skills and abilities. At another level efforts are made in the direction of building an environment where this potential can be maximized. However in this process there may be some gaps- between the entrepreneur and the environment. Since neither can exist in isolation RFC is an attempt to discover a working solution and thereby creating a link between the two. RFC also sees itself being involved in research assignments for different enabling agencies like banks, financing agencies and Micro Finance Institutions, specifically in the field of enterprise and entrepreneurship development. Scope of RFC’s activities… RFC focuses on undertaking activities for both external agencies as well as for the growth and self-learning of Dhriiti. The external agencies have been classified in to two types: 1. With existing enterprises or entrepreneurs- the purpose being to enable a process, whereby their limitations/gaps can be worked upon. This group may comprise of different entrepreneurs who have initiated and plunged into the enterprise building but lack in some or the other skills to run the enterprise successfully. RFC also visualizes itself catering to this particular target group either helping them directly or providing proper linkages 2. With enabling agencies- the attempt is towards building a conducive environment for entrepreneurs to grow 16
  • 17. Dhriiti – The Courage Within As for the internal processes and growth of Dhriiti, RFC being the research and development wing of the organisation, will formulate itself to do relevant R & D for meeting the organizations’ research requirements essential for organizational growth and expansion. In other terms RFC is the knowledge management forum within the organisation. In a step towards reaching its objectives some of the activities undertaken by RFC are: • Developed a strategy for rejuvenating a handmade papermaking unit at Sevankarayanpatty in Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu for M S Swaminathan Research Foundation. Also suggested marketing initiatives to enhance sales in South India. • Developed a case study on Nuapatna Handloom Cluster Development Project for Dastkar Andhra.
