Detailed Project Report (DPR) on beedi (bidi) making by machine

BEEDI (BIDI) MAKING BY MACHINE
[CODE NO. 1792]

The beedi manufacturing is a traditional agro-forest based industry in India. It is highly labour intensive, predominantly unorganized and involves three major categories of workers:

•    Forest based tribal workers who collect tendu/kendu leaves;
•    Tobacco growing farmers;
•    Beedi rolling home based workers, most of whom are women.

    Beedi rolling is done in almost all major states of India and it takes place mainly in the home-based unorganized sector, with sub-contractors playing the main role for the principal beedi manufacturers. There are about 300 major manufacturers of branded beedis but there are thousands of small-scale manufacturers cum contractors who account for the bulk of the beedi production in India1. Government estimates of the total number of beedi workers is about 4.5 million2, majority of who are home based women workers. Trade unions claim that there could be about 7-8 million beedi workers in the country, especially if those engaged in beedi trade and the tendu leaf collection are also taken into count.
