Design and Development of Innovative Hand-Spinning Equipment for Enhancing Khadi Artisan Productivity and Income

Source summary

The challenge asks for an improved manually operated hand-spinning system for decentralized Khadi production, particularly women artisans. A lightweight, portable and ergonomic prototype should preserve hand operation while improving yarn quality and reducing effort. It must be compared with existing Charkhas on productivity, yarn quality, physical effort, weight and manufacturing cost, followed by field-trial, adoption, vendor-development and economic-assessment plans.
