Tribute to immortal Tadar SimiTribute to immortal Tadar SimiTribute to immortal Tadar SimiTribute to immortal Tadar SimiTribute to immortal Tadar Simi- DasherTeshi Taba,

Deputy Director, IPR

In the recent Panchayat Election… In the recent Panchayat Election… In the recent Panchayat Election… In the recent Panchayat Election… In the recent Panchayat Election…

For the time, I saw an ironbuilt young man, in an occasionprobably sponsored bycollegians of that time in early1977-78. Later on, he was knownto be Tadar Simi whose namesymbolized to that of a typicalfemale Indian Hindu girl. Initially,I felt funny on his name but whenI grew up with genesis orgenealogy of my mother side Ihad developed a different attitudeof respect to him and emotionallyhe became my admiredgentlemen and I became thepermanent admirer to him. It wasduring his hay days, I met him forthe second time at Shillong ineighties who had been a borneselfless social worker, whograsped all classes of peopleand became the absoluteguardian of absolute nature. Topay his social value and work, amillion dollar would fall short inany transaction on his dept inknowledge on humanity andsocial values of life.

For the third occasion, Iapproached him, was in April1987 to attend a meeting atAnchal Bhavan, Doimukh, in turnhe took the responsibil i ty of

hosting the dinner and sent a chitwhich was read out in themeeting hall. He was in helm ofbanking affairs as a newlyassigned branch manager of theApex Bank and hardly could

manage the time to attend socialgatherings during banking hours.My meeting to him does not meanon personal but on social objectsonly.

An interesting incident tookplace in the dinner party in thatevening. After the dinner Pai(Tadar Taniang) had been

chatting with me in a groundkitchen of kiyi Simi’s quarter atE- Sector. By the time, we couldhear the voice of shri T.C.Teli, whocame little late and was a freshpost graduate from Delhi

University and making a step toenter into politics. It was the habitof educated youths of that time toabuse the leaders for theirshowing least sincerity to solvethe problems of the communityand state. Here, revered lateTaniang might have felt offendedand both took it to hot argument.

Ultimately, it led to a scufflingbetween the Senior and Junior.The dinner party all that “beganwell did not end well”, due to thisunfortunate incident. Here Simifelt sad and questioned his elderbrother that when one is not aninvitee- why he should spoil theparty? Simi was annoyed andbent on to avenge him but on myapproach, he cooled down andwas found to be an unlike of otherpeople having aggression onsuch issues.

The wisdom he hadpossessed was unparallel toanybody. The knowledge onsocial and traditional viewbonded him to far more wise andmatured man and so he neverbecame sort of short temper oraggressive nature. He alwaysheld his mind high and madepeople around him under domainof his wisdom and guardianship.He is credited to have hosted thefirst dinner on foundation ofNyishi Elite Society.

Simi had a dream forhimself and for the society aswell. He had been in pain at heartwhen the organizations of the

The 73rd ConstitutionalAmendment Act, 1992 marked anew era in the democratic set upof the country as it createdPanchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs)as tiers of self governance belowthe level of States in the federalset up.

In the State of ArunachalPradesh the first election as perthe 73rd Constitutional Amen-dment Act, 1992 the first three tierPanchayat election was held inthe year 2003.

The second Panchayati Rajor rather “the local selfgovernment” election in ArunachalPradesh came and went; victorieswere celebrated and candidateswho lost contended themselveswith ‘next time’ or ‘I should havetried harder in the campaign’.

Well, of course individual winand loss does not matter us, whatmatters us as a citizen for changeis that right and deservingcandidates irrespective of partyaffiliation should be chosen by thepeople to fulfil the challenge ofmaking this new phase ofdemocratic decentralizationsuccessful.

The recent Panchayatelection in Arunachal Pradesh toan extent satisfies the ‘makingthis new phase of democratic

decentralisation successful’because this time we witnesseda participatory approach from itscitizens where 60% of the totalvoters exercised their ‘right tovote’! This means that we areslowly but surely moving forward.

One can say that the figureis not alarmingly high. It is indeednot high but it is also notnegligible in the sense that thefigure stands for the realisation ofthe people that with greaterinvolvement of citizens inPanchayats they are directlyparticipating in decision makingand formalized through theinstitutions of Panchayati Raj,there will be greater transparency

in rural development eventuallyleading to fuller accountability.

In another achievement inthe history of Panchayati RajElection in the State, all the PRIcandidates under Chongkhamand Wakro circle were electedunopposed by the people.

This unopposed election ofpanchayat candidates set anexample to the State in particularand the Country in general thatmere fight for power is not all.Strong leadership and political willand involvement of people are thenecessary conditions for facing thechallenge of enabling the localself-government institutions tobecome effective instruments ofsocial and economic developmentof rural areas.

Chongkham circle consistsof a single Zila Parishad seat,eighteen Anchal Samiti seats anda total of 118 seats in Gram Sabha,out of which seven seats were leftvacant. Wakro circle has a singleZila Parishad and Anchal Samitiseats, and five Gram Sabha seats.All the unopposed candidatesbelonged to Indian NationalCongress.

This recent exercise of AdultSuffrage (or electing thecandidates unopposed) on the onehand shows that the people are

aware that independence and selfrealisation for economic and socialdevelopment must begin at bottom(village). On the other hand it alsoimplies that the prospects of overall success and strengthening oflocal self government will be slowlybut surely achieved throughPanchayati Raj Institutions.

Both this aspects fulfils thefederal democratic set up of thecountry when in 1992 the 73rdConstitutional Amendment Act,1992 conferred Constitutionalstatus on the Panchayati RajInstitutions (PRIs).

It envisaged theestablishment of a democraticdecentralized developmentprocess through people’sparticipation in decision-making,implementation and delivery.

Even though the success ofPanchayati Raj Institutionsdepends on the commitment of thepolitical leadership, bureaucracyand the people themselves andeven though the success andfailure is yet to be measured (inthe State in terms of ruraldevelopment), the 60% vote andChongkham-Wakro case may bewell termed as an attempt madeto bring about effectivedecentralisation, both political andeconomic within the State.

The Jaswantgarh War Memorial located atNuranang, about 25 kms from Tawang is set in scenicterrain about 14 kms away from the Sela pass. I tcommemorates the bravery of the martyred Indian soldiersof the 1962 Indo-China war.

The war memorial stands inmemory of r i f le man Jaswant SinghRawat, Mahavir Chakra Awardee(Posthumous) of the 4 Garhwal RiflesInfantry Regiment. Jaswant Singhshowed his valor by fighting and holdingthe invading Chinese back for 72 hoursall alone during the 1962 India-China warand remained at his post at an altitude ofabout 10,000 feet before succumbing toan enemy bullet during the war.

The post that he held to repulse theChinese troops has been renamedJaswant Garh in recognition of his valorand sacrifice. The temple like memorialhas a garlanded bronze bust of JaswantSingh who is referred as Baba by thesoldiers, a portrait of the war hero andhis belongings including the Army uniform, cap, watchand belt. The earthen lamp before the portrait of JaswantSingh burns round the clock.

For any soldier of Indian Army guarding the frontiers,

the memorial of 1962 war at Jaswantgarh givesinspiration to them and for the Army jawans and officials;it is a must-visit temple site to pay obeisance to RiflemanJaswant Singh, who laid down his l i fe resisting the

Chinese Army’s march during the1962 war.

The Army has put a section ofits soldiers at round the clock dutyat Jaswantgarh to look after thememorial. They make bed for him,polish his shoes and deliver themail sent by his admirers. Theychange his bed sheets everyTuesday. He is served timely bedtea, breakfast and dinner dai ly.These soldiers not only take careof the memorial, but also renderyeoman service to the travelersalong the hazardous mountainterrain. Presently, one of the threehistoric bunkers at Jaswantgarhhas been damaged due tolandslide.

For the heroic effort of Rifleman Jaswant Singh, the4 Garhwal Rifle was awarded battle honour Nuranang,the only battle honour awarded to any Army unit in theSino-Indian war of 1962.

World Environment Day (WED) is celebrated every year onJune 5 to raise global awareness of the need to take positiveenvironmental action and create awareness about the environmentand environmental concerns among the common people. It is runby the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It was theday that United Nations Conference on the HumanEnvironment began.

WED was first established in the year 1972 and first WorldEnvironment Day was celebrated in 1973. The day is hosted everyyear with different themes and is commemorated with an internationalexposition in the week of 5 June. This year the theme for WorldEnvironment Day 2013 is “Think. Eat. Save” which is being hostedby the Mongolia city.

Many human behaviors like wastage of water, creating pollution,deforestation, cutting of trees, use of plastic items more which arenon-degradable increases the environment degradation. Keepingthese things in mind the World Environment day is celebrated globallyto focus on the needs which are required for a positive environmentand curb the foes of environment.

The theme Think.Eat.Save has been kept as an anti-food wastecampaign, which focuses on how to reduce the food wastes all overthe world. According to a survey by theUN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), around 1.3 billiontonnes of food produced for human consumption is lost or wastedglobally, per year. Even raw food items are wasted in different handlingstages like bad weather conditions, poor use of pest-control transportmishandling, packing and storage etc. Moreover, 1 in every 7 peoplein the world go to bed without food and more than 20,000 childrenunder the age of 5 die daily from hunger, the survey says.

Given this enormous imbalance in lifestyles and the resultantdevastating effects on the environment, this year’s theme –Think.Eat.Save – encourages you to become more aware of theenvironmental impact of the food choices you make and empowersyou to make informed decisions. It also focuses on reducing foodwaste in different stages and creates a balance in environment,besides it also lays emphasis to create more awareness andminimize the environment affect through wastage of food.

Students’ CornerYear 2013 - Water Conservation YearPIB feature

Resources Water is anatural resource, fundamentalto life, livelihood, food securityand sustainable development.It is also a scarce resource.India has more than 18 percentof the world’s population, buthas only 4 percent of world’srenewable water resources with2.4 percent of world’s land area.There are fur ther l imi ts onuti l izable quantit ies of waterowing to uneven distr ibutionover t ime, as 75 percent ofannual rainfall is received in justfour months. Also region wiseit varies from 10 cm rainfall inRajasthan to 1000 cm in NorthEastern Region. In addit ion,there are challenges of frequentfloods and droughts in one orthe other part of the country. Witha growing population and risingneeds of a fast developingnat ion as wel l as the givenindicators of the impact ofc l imate change, per capi taavailability of water is likely togo down from 1545 cubic metre/yr, in 2011 to 1341 cubic metre/yr, in 2025. The increasingdemand of water for variouspurposes will further strain withthe possibi l i ty of deepeningwater conflicts among differentuser groups as drinking waterneed is going to r ise by 44percent, irrigation need by 10percent, industry need by 81percent respectively by 2025. Inview of this, the Ministry of WaterResources prepared theNational Water Policy (2012),which was adopted by theNat ional Water ResourcesCouncil headed by the PrimeMinister on Dec. 28, 2012. Thistakes cognizance of the existingsi tuat ion and proposed aframework for creat ion of asystem of laws and institutionsand a plan of act ion wi th aunif ied national perspective.The major concern is of theincreasing demand which isleading to growing water stressand causing confl icts amongcitizens / societies as a resultof over usage or diversion ofwater and due to competitionamongst different users. Hence,there is a need for greaterawareness on waterconservation for optimal usageof the existing resources. WaterConservation is also the keyobjective of the National WaterMission which is one of the

eight National Missions underthe National Act ion Plan forClimate Change. This envis-ages conservation ,minim-izingwastage and ensur ing moreequitable distribution of waterresources both across andwithin States through integratedwater resources developmentand management. The effectivewater resources managementmust be underpinned byknowledge and understandingof the availability of the resourceitself, the uses to which wateris put and the challenges facingthe users of water at all levelsof stake holders. This can bedone by creat ing massawareness on the measuresthat can be taken to address thechallenges affecting every livingbeing. Implementat ion Anumber of mass awarenessactivi t ies wi l l be undertakenduring Water Conservation Year– 2013 with emphasis onsensi t iz ing the masses onwater related issues,encourage them to conserveand use i t judic iously.

Union Cabinet in i tsmeeting held on 9.5.2013 hasgiven its approval for declaringthe year 2013 as “WaterConservation Year-2013”.

A Right MoveThe senior students of, the

Suban-siri district have taken avery correct move for social,cul tural and economicdevelopment of the people ofthe dis-trict in general and of thestudents in particular. A meetingof the students of the Subansirid istr ic t was held in theauditorium of the Ziro Highersecondary School on 22ndJune, 1968 in which youths fromall over the district took part. Thejoint meeting was named theSubansiri Student cultural Meet.The convening of the meetingwas the f i rst step towardsachievement of the larger goalof emo-tional integration andeconomic and socialdevelopment. The aim of theorganizers was to chalk out aprogrammed for cultural, socialand edu-cational progress ofthe people of the Subansir id istr ic t , part icular ly of thestudent community. Thestudents gathered on theoccasion discussed var ioussteps to be taken for emotionalintegration, social uplif tmentand eco-nomic development ofthe district.

Shr i Lod Kojee, whopresided over the meeting, inhis speech ex-plained the aimsand objects of the StudentsCultural Meet and observed thatunity in diversity was the mostimportant character ist ic ofIndian life. In NEFA a number oftribes having different cust0ms,social set-ups and speakingdi f ferent tongues, l ive inscattered areas. However, theyessen-t ia l ly belong to onefamily. Shri Kojee further saidthat the students had to set agood example of disci-plinedlife and must contribute towardssocial and economic progressof the area.

Some of the importantproposals accepted in themeeting are:

It is indeed heartening toha received a report of this kind.The awakening among theSubansiri students as evidentfrom this report is sure sign ofadvancement and if the spiritcan be sustained for yearscome, i t would surely br ingabout most important and highlydesirable changes in the societyin NEFA.

It is interesting to note inthe connect ion that theSubansiri Student Cultural Meetdecided to keep all from politics.

Bomdi La H S. SchoolThe House system

introduced, in the Bomdi LaHigher Secondary School hasproved i ts wor th andcontr ibuted substant ia l lytowards promotion of culturalactivities among the studentsof the school. On 12th and 14thJuly, 1963 the s tudent ,organised Inter-House Culturalcompet i t ion which wasinaugurated by Shrimati YusufAl i in presence of a largegathering of local officers andpublic.

In the competi t ion eachHouse presented a one-act playwr i t ten by studentsthemselves, a group song, twoindividual songs, two folk itemsand a comic scene. The One-Act play presented by the NetajiHouse ent i t led ‘Aei Mr i tyuApara jeya’ ( th is death isunconquerable), was lamed as

the best of its type. Based on apatriotic theme, the drama leftan impact on the minds of thelocal people. Another notableitem presented by the studentswas a group g in English basedon nat io-nal integrat ion andpatriotism presen-ted by the‘Shivaji House’ . It also a firstprize. The Sailors’ Folk dancepresented by the ‘Netaji House’was also adjudged the best inthat particular event. These areindeed very encouragingactivities by the students andwe hope that they wouldcont inue to take adequateinterest in these activities.

(Contd. from previous issue...)4. But master Tangha did notsurrender or querrel with BaruahSir. They went to Manabhum nearDiyun to try their luck in anothernewly coming up Oil IndiaCompany. After an arduous effort,they somehow managed to getlabourers job for their vacation ofone and half month at Rs 3 perday. They were required to work inroad cutting and clearing withspades whole day long from 7 amto 5 pm. But, here they found ladyluck smiling at them. They had oneclose relative, Late Mr JongwaTangha who was already workingas a regular Mazdhoor and whowas well off enough to haveconstructed a thatched house.Thus, being a close relative andthey being just students comingfrom very far ofChanglang(considered very farthose day), late Tangha happilyallowed them to stay with him andgave them food to eat during theentire period of their stay with him.Thus, one and half monthsearnings amounted to Rs3x45=Rs 135/ each without asingle paise spent on food or rent.They saved Rs 100/ each and itwas enough to buy them a pair oflong pant and shirt. Our masterTangha purchased one black longpant and a blue jeans-shirt withRs 60/ to be proudly displayedduring the next two years as seniormost students next only tomatriculate ones. He gave hiswidowed mother remaining Rs40/ to buy some salts or to buyshirts for his two younger sisters.5. In the year 1980, masterTangha appeared the great MatricExam(CLASS-X). It was undividedTirap District and there used to bean ADC post at Changlang whoseoffice was located opposite SBIChanglang Branch, now DistrictLibrary and Officer’s Club. In thosedays LS(Leave Substitute) jobsTeacher, LDC, UDC etc were available on request by needystudents to work during the threemonths long vacation after finalexamination of class-X and XII. As

his economic condition wasalways haunting him and huntinghim with all its bows and arrowsto hit him any time, he wasdesperately in need of some LSjobs. And after passing class-Xexam, he would be one amongsenior students of the school andthus, needed some goodstandard of wearing to commanddue respect from his juniors, hewent from one office to another insearch of LS jobs to work andearn some money during hisvacation without returning to hisvillage, Longkey. His mother hadalso wanted him to earn somemoney for himself and his twoyounger sisters who werestudying in his village. His motherhad taken all responsibility ofworking in the fields all day longto feed his two sisters andadvised him not worry about them.He had even changed his year ofbirth form 1964 to 1962 in Class-X so that he was 18 after the MatricExam(CBSE) and thus eligible forany LS job. 6. But he could not find any LSjob in any other departments, andhence lastly he planned toapproach the ADC Changlang forLS post of LDC(lower divisiionclerk) or UDC(upper divison clerk)under him. Sri Tabom Bam, IAS,now Chief Secretary, Govt ofArunachal Pradesh, was the thenAdditional Deputy Commissioner,Changlang. But he was not ableto muster enough caurage to visithim. Then one day, he gatheredcourage and went to meet the thenADC Sir, Sri Tabom Bam with anapplication in his hand. Theunsuccessful tour in the year1978-79 for job to Oil IndiaLimited, Kharsang had taught himsome experience of behaving andtalking with officers while seekingjob. He entered humbly, probablybare-footed as usual, andexplained his poor condition andrequested ADC Sir for helping himby awarding LS job of LDC to workduring his three months vacationso that he could earn some pocketmoney. He also placed his

application on his table this timeproperly so that ADC Sir could readit well instaed of attempting toread it in a most stylish fluentEnglish as was the case duringthe Kharsang flop tour. Whileconversing in Hindi mixed withEnglish, ADC Sir told him in Hindi,“LDC LS ABHI TO NAHI HAI.”(There are no LDC LS now.) Then, young Tangha tried torequest him if there was no LSjob of LDC he may be awardedany type of LS job. But being a littleboy, though confident, he was alsonervous and his tongue slippedaway. His request wentunintentionally wrong from hisvocal cord like this; “SIR, ADC LEAVE SUBSTITUTENAHI HONE SE BHI, KOI DUSRAKAM DIJIE SIR”.(Sir, even if there are no ADC LSnow, please give me some otherworks) ADC Sir became annoyed & firedon him saying, “kya bola?”(What did you say?) In his attempt to correct himself to explain to ADC sir that he onlymeant any L-DC, or U-DC, not anADC, he further made anothermore serious mistake. “ADC Sir, Please Give Me A LeaveSubstitute Job Of Any DC”, beggedTeenage Tangha. And the ADC Sir straight awayremarked on his application by redink pen, no LS job and folded itand threw it towards him and gothim out of his office. He almosttore his application into two halvestearing it diagonally with his angrymarking by red ink. MasterTangha went out of his office roomwithout saying anything with his half torn application in his handtrying to unfold it again. He wasstanding in his office verandahwithout immediately going away,introspecting himself askinghimself why he was always a flopshow in any office. Then, afterabout five minutes later, a callingbell ranged up and a peon rushedinside ADC office room. The peoncame out and told him,

“SIR APUNAK BHITORTE MATI -AASE”.(Sir has called you.) He thought anything could happento him now, as he had really donesome insulting to ADC Sir sayingADC Leave Substitute and thenLS job of any DC, thoughunintentional. But, to his uttersurprise the ADC was all smilingand told him in Assamese in ahumourous way, “Bhaiti, tumak moi tinni mahkarone ADC LS nohoi, kintu LDCleave substitute di - aasu. Kintutumi bhal ke duty kuribo lage dei”.(Dear young boy, I m giving younot ADC LS but LDC LS for threemonths. But you have to work verysincerely) His happiness and joy knew nobound. He thanked ADC Sir withgreat respect from his heart andleft his room too excited. Heimmediately rushed home to hismother in the village the next dayto tell his mother for whom it wasachievement beyond she coulddream. Tears quickly jumped outof her eyes rolling down her longface and she hugged him for longtill there was no more tears inwaiting. She had nothing to givehim except a galss of local ricebeer. The LDC-LS salary was Rs320/- PM. This was his firstservice & earning in life. Heserved as an LS LDC for threemonths at food and civil supplydepartment. There, he found thatsupply officers and men wouldissue only 15 or 20 KG’s of rice tothe ignorant villagers andcommen public even though itwas mentioned 30 or 40 KG’s.Therefore, he would issue 40 or50 KG’s rice to many of them. But,what he loved most as LS LDCwas when peons would addresshim as “SIR” and that would bringinstant smile & pride on his face.So, he would run to his office everymorning very regularly mainly tohear “Sir” from hispeons....hahahaha. 7. He earned his first 1000rupees by thus working as LSLDC. He also passed the CBSE

and qualified for Science stream/subjects. Howver, due to pressingdomestic and financial problems,he could not pass Class-XII in1982. He being a Class-XII 2ndyear student, he was not allowedto stay in the hostel and he couldnot get stipend any more. But hewould not surrender. Herequested some of his closerelatives from his village and withtheir help, he constructed akatcha(thatch) house atChanglang town for his stay tocontinue his class-XII(science). His thatch house became anopen house for all his needystudent friends who ever wouldcome to Changlang for attendingclasses as 2nd year student ofclass-XII, subject to condition thateveryone would bring rice &vegetables for fooding there. Andhis thatch house becamepopularly known as “DepositHouse”, where the needystudents would depositthemselves for a day or a fewdays. The “Deposit House” hadno free ration or sources ofincome for young Tangha. Hewould go home every friday to helphis mother in the fields onSatarday and Sunday and bringweekly ration from her in return.He passed it in 1983. And, as hismother could not afford him to gooutside for higher studies such asBE, MBBS or other professionalcourses, he decided to do his BAand joined JNC in 1983-84. Hewent on to graduate in 1987 inHistory, Political Science, etc. andjoined as Junior Teacher thesame year and started teachingin his village school. His mothercould not be more proud than thisand he could not have fulfilled hisfather’s last whisper in a betterway than teaching his own villagechildren. A boy from such interiorvillage becoming a graduate wasno less achievement than thoseIAS toppers who top it by yearsand years of coaching in big cities. And for Tangha’s opium loverfather, IAS or other jobs were non-existent and by “Bara Sahab”, he

probably meant a UDC or ateacher. Just after teaching for 7months, graduate Tangha againqualified the exam for directSI(Sub-Inspector of Police) in1987 itself and joined as direct SIin March 1988. He came 3rd rankamong the 27 successfulcandidates in the entire state. It isall thanks to his “never surrenderunder any damn problems”attitude. He was promoted to fullinspector in 2009 and he is oneof the senior most police officersin his Tangsa Tribe whcih is a veryMajor Tribe of AP with 4 MLA’s outof 5 at present representing theChanglang district. And looking athis son from his abode, late Mr KTangha is still regretting andbeating himself for his firstmistake with the KANI and he hasbeen repeating his last whisperto his son for the last 37 yearssince his death and he wouldcontinue it ti l l the entireChanglang District is free fromKANI,“Dear son, Never Touch KANI.Become a Bara Sahab & makeyour mother proud.”And true to his father’s lastwhisper, Inspector Tangha hasnever touched KANI his entire life.And as a senior police officer, hewas immediately responsible fordestroying 470 acres of opiumplantations in his Khimyong Circlein March 2011 with seizure andburing of about 2350 Kgs of rawopium. The Changlang DistrictPolice & NCB team of 19 officersand men led by his SP TummeAmo have been awarded cashreward of Rs 3,05, 000/ by theMinistry of Home Affairs(MHA),Govt of India vide order No. F.N.XIV/22/1/NCB/GHY/2012-Rew-2269Dated 20 March 2012(please referthe scanned copy of the orderherein given below) for thiscommendable job done by themin March 2011. He and his presentSP and other police officer andmen are making all out effortsincluding this story to makeChanglang district an Opium freedistrict. (Concluded)

The first thing when we hearabout coir comes to our mind istraditional items like mats,baskets and ropes, but it is notthe case anymore.

With the changing times andgrowing charm for eco-friendlyproducts, the goldenfibre isfinding new applications and isalso being preferred in roadconstruction.

With increasingdeforestation affecting theenvironment, theb iodegradab le geotex t i les isbeing used in the construction ofroads.

The major reasons forincreased use of thenatural fibre are sustainability andcost-effectiveness.

Coir (coconutfiber) geotextiles are a popularsolution for erosion control,s l o p e s t a b i l i s a t i o n a n dbioengineering, due to the fabric’ssubstantial mechanical strength.

Classified as woven,meshes, nets and non-wovens,, itlasts about 3 to 5 years dependingon the fabric weight. It alsodegrades into humus, thus,enriching the soil.

Coir Geotextiles when usedon the soft soil for construction ofvillage roads have been found toperform very well asreinforcement, filter, drainage andseparation materials incomparison to the conventionallyused materials like synthetics,cement, lime, etc.

Golden Fibre making inroads into Road ConstructionThe National Rural Roads

Development Agency (NRRDA)has approved Central CoirResearch Institute (CCRI) as anodal institute for application ofCoir Geotextiles in construction ofrural roads.

Indian Roads Congress(IRC), New Delhi has also giventhe accreditation for the use ofCoir Geotextiles in the roads for aperiod of 2 years with effect from18 April, 2011.

For the evaluation of itseffectiveness, inter-alia acollaborative project has beeninitiated by the Central CoirResearch Institute with theNational Institute ofTechnology,Calicut with the in-principle approval of the AirportsAuthority of India.

The government has alreadydecided to use coir geo-textiles forconstruction of rural roads in ninestates, under the Prime Minister’sGram Sadak Yojana (Bharat Nirman).In the future, the project is likely tobe extended to all 28 states of thecountry.

Given the popularity of thegolden fibre in construction ofroads, the coir industry may faceproblems in catering to the hugelikely demands unless adequatemeasures are taken by theindustry to havea decen t ra l i sed p roduc t i oninfrastructure to cater to the hugerequirements.

One of the solution to thiscould be by taking advantage of

the Anugraha loom developed bythe CCRI as the technique willcome handy for development ofproduction infrastructure formanufacturing it.

With the initiatives of the CoirBoard, coir sector today is asupplier of geotextiles. The Boardis a statutory body established bythe government under alegislation enacted by theParliament namely, Coir IndustryAct 1953, for the promotion anddevelopment of coir industry inIndia.

To promote this segment, theBoard has also established atesting laboratory forcoirgeotextiles at the Central CoirResearch Institute, Kalavoor.

Geotextiles made out of coirare ideally suited for low-costapplications because coir isavailable in abundance.Therefore, there is enough scopeto enhance the application. Coirfibers resemble thewood fibres in terms of physicalproperties and chemicalcomposition.

The geotextiles and itsrelated products have manyapplications and currently supportmany civil engineeringapplications including roads,a i r f i e l d s , r a i l r o a d s ,embankments, retainingstructures, reservoirs, canals,dams, bank protection, coastalengineering and construction sitesilt fences.

Usua l l y geo tex t i les a re

placed at the tension surface tostrengthen the soil. It is also usedfor sand dune armoring to protectupland coastal property fromstorm surge, wave action andflooding.

Besides, it promotes newvegetation by absorbing waterand preventing top soil fromdrying out. The golden fibre is a100 per cent organic naturallyoccurring fiber from a renewablesource obtained from coconuthusk.

The advantage of the coir isthat it is not only hard but strongestamong all natural fibers, whichcan be spun and woven intodifferent types of mattings.

Alleppey (Alappuzha) is thenerve centre of Kerala’s famouscoir industry where one can seecoconut husks being beateninto fibre for making beautifulmats and other coir products.

Both men and women areactively involved in the productionof coir in Kerala. The women aremainly involved in the yarnspinning sector and the men inthe product-weaving sector. CoirIndustry enjoys the status as thelargest Cottage Industry in Kerala,giving employment to over amillion people.

Indian coir industry has beenfortunate to get a boost in the formof the ever increasing awarenessabout eco-protection. The eco-friendly quality of coir will help it tohold its ground even as it battlescompetition from

synthetic fibres in today’sdeveloping world.

The coir Industry in India hasa strong position in the exportorientation since severaldecades.

However, the pattern ofexports and its product mix haschanged drastically. With moreemphasis on value-addedproducts, the coir sectorwitnessed a significant change inthe total volume and value ofexports.

At present, coir and itsproducts from India are exportedto more than 80 countries and theUS is the single largest marketwith a share of more than 40% inthe total export. Europeancountries together share morethan 41 % of the exports.

However, the sector hasbeen confronted with a number ofproblems such as lack of accessto timely and affordable credit,absence of innovative channels offinancing, low-level of technologyadoption, poor brand building andmarketing, low-level of innovationand low penetration of ICT toname a few.

During the 12th Five-YearPlan, the coir sector has a visionof acquiring new dimensions byway of following broadinterventions : -

Creation of husk collectionbanks is essential, to ensureoptimum utilisation of raw-material. Once it is set up, thepresent utilisation level of coconut

husks at 40% could be enhancedto 60%.

Modernising the traditionalprocesses of spinning andweaving by eliminating drudgeryand facilitate women to operatethe machines.

Enhancement of the presentinsurance scheme for providingcompensation for accidentaldeath and partial/permanentdisabilities along with introducinga new scheme for health cover tocoir workers to be undertaken.

The technologies/machineryitems developed by the researchinstitutes to be demonstrated andtransferred to the grassroots levelof the coir industry throughappropriate extension work.

Technological interventionsto be made through appropriateschemes for upgradationofquality of coir and its products.

Certification of Eco-Mark tobe obtained for coir and itsproducts, besides promoting itwidely in the international market.

Coir Mark Scheme to bestrengthened by extending thecoverage of the scheme to theentire range of coir productsconsigned to the domesticmarket.
