CHAPTER - V

PROFILE OF CO-OPERATIVE SPINNING MILLS OF

KHANDESH

5.1 Introduction

The researcher now is briefly describing the history of Khandesh region

and gives references of Marathi author Prof. Dr. Shashikant Sonawane who has

beautifully described the art, culture, tradition and socio-economic conditions

along with folk traditions. Here the researcher is also giving brief profiles of all the

five mills that are working in this area.

5.2 Cultural aspects of khandesh

Khandesh is a well known region for its prehistoric and rich heritage. Its

culture is not only ancient but also multifaceted. Many communities are happily

residing in the lap of this region. According to the book written by author: Prof.

Dr. Shashikant Sonawane, Pratap College, Amalner (Marathi article) and

translated by: Prof. Ravindrasingh A. Patil, Jalgaon into English the following

data related to cultural aspects of Khandesh has been described below.

5.2.1 Unified amalgamation of Arya, Non-arya and Mughal cultures----

Khandesh exhibits a homogeneous mixing of different cultures of Arya,

Non-arya, Buddha, and Mughals. Adivaasis (primeval tribes) inhabiting in and at

the foot-hills of Satpuda hills have retained their original customs and traditions

even today. Theirs is an ancient original culture and is older than the Arya invasion

in this country. A group of brave and nomadic tribe of Aryas called Ahir/Abhir

settled in this region and the subgroups of this tribe like Gurjar, Ahir, and Gavali

people changed the scenario of Khandesh for betterment.

119

The Mughal rulers-Akbar1, Jahangir, Shahajahan, Aurangzeb and Danial

and Farukhi Kings have left imprints of their culture and rule on Khandesh.

Satvahan rulers who were much impressed by Buddhist philosophy and the caves

and frescoes carved by them at Pitalkhore near Chalisgaon town of Jalgaon district

indicate the seamless amalgamation of cultures in this province.

5.2.2 Different theories of nomenclature of Khandesh (Source: History of

Khandesh region)

There exists difference of opinions about the nomenclature of this province

as Khandesh. Some of them are described as below;

I) Khandesh is the region of Ahirs who were devotees of Lord Krishna, who is

fondly called 'Kanha' by his devotees. They referred to this as country (desh) of

Kanha hence Kanhadesh which in due course of time became 'Khandesh'.

II) According to another view, Kanbai (Kandevi) is the deity of many

communities of this region. Hence country of Kandevi hence Kandesh which

further metamorphosed into 'Khandesh'. ----

III) Still some have different view as for many years this region was under control

of Muslim rulers who were known by the name 'Khan', therefore the country was

named as khandesh.-------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV) One more view states that as this region was the mine (locally called khan) of

human gems and jewels and mineral resources. Therefore it is named as

'Khandesh'.

5.2.3 Tribes, communities and dialects of Khandesh1

Tribes-Since remote past, pretty diverse kinds of tribes and communities

have been living very happily together in this land of Khandesh. Scheduled tribes

include Gond, Bhil, Konkana, Pavara, Gavit, Pardhi, Tadvi; Vimukta Jaties include

Kaikadi, Kanjarbhat, Gorbanjara, Lamani, Jogi, Pardeshi Bhamta, Ramoshi Vadar,

Chhapparband; Nomadic tribes include Gosavi, Bairagi, Sanyasi, Beldar,

Kingarivale, Ghisadi, Gopal, Dombari, Dhelari and other backwards include

Gavali, Kongadi, Rangari, Tambat, Sonar (Smiths), Bhavsar, Sutar, Pinajara,

Tamboli and Schedule castes include the people belonging to Mahar, Mang,

Chambhar, Mehatar (Scavengers) Jangam, Mochi, Dhor, Khatik, Garudi, Meghwal

communities. Along with them, the advanced communities too have been dwelling

since remote past.

Dialects-Major dialect of this region is the language (= wani) of Ahirs

called Ahir-wani which further abbreviated to 'Ahirani'. It is also known as

'Akkadibhasha'. Ahirani is represented by different sub-dilaects of different shades

such as Leva patidari, Gujarau, Bagalani etc.

Primeval dialects include Pavri, Dehwali, Bhili, Tadvi, and Warali. Other

lesser spread dialects include Vanjari, Bhavsari, Pardeshi, Beldari, Mehatari,

Panchali, Dhori, Mahari, Mangi, etc.

5.2.4 Aadivaasi (primeval) cultures of Khandesh

Roots of Aadivaasi cultures have gone deep in this soil. The need for

creation of Nandurbar as a special Aadivaasi district reflects this very fact. The

aadivaasis residing in the hills of Satpuda are the surviving successors of Mohenjo

Daro and Hadappa cultures.

Ref 1: Prof. Dr. Shashikant Sonawane – “History & Cultural Aspects of Khandesh”

and translated by: Prof. Ravindrasingh A. Patil

121

Their life style reflects their relationship with the very original culture of

this country. "Dab" in the Satpuda is the cultural capital of these aadivaasis. The

small paadas (= colonies, basti) located at remote places in Navapur, Nandurbar,

Dhadgaon, Saakri, Yawal, Raver, Chopada, are replicas of ancient cultures. Gonds

and Bhils are major residents. They include sub tribes such as Rajgond, Maharaja

Gonds, Pachhashi Gonds, Bada Gonds, Pavaras, Gavit, Tadvi, and Barelas. They

worship different deities like Devmogara Mata, Ganda Thaakur, Raja Fanay,

Mandhar Mata, Ravan, Meghnaath, Hirava Deva, Motha Dev, Waagh dev,

Kanasari mata, Holika. By worshiping natural icons of theses deities, they offer

prayers to the 'Mother Nature'. Even in the extreme conditions of famine or

calamities, they very enthusiastically celebrate Holi, Divali, Gandi Divali, Navai,

and Pola. Being mother dominated family culture, women's equality and freedom

is a highly valued characteristic.

5.2.5 Cultural Heritage of Khandesh1

Cultural and historical places in Khandesh region are the living flag posts

of Indian culture. Their preservation and conservation is the immediate need of the

time.

These include the deteriorating frescoes and caves of Pitalkhore near

Chalisgaon, Shendurni of Sindurasur; fort of Parola- the home place of freedom

fighter Rani Lakshmibai; Akrani Mahal of Dhadgaon; Hemadpant style temple of

Mudhaladevi at Vaghali; Padmalaya near Erandol; Swinging tower of Farkande,

Erandol; Hot water spring at Unapdev near Chopada; collection of articles used by

Sane Guruji placed in Pratap College, Amalner;

Ref 1: Prof. Dr. Shashikant Sonawane – “History & Cultural Aspects of Khandesh”

and translated by: Prof. Ravindrasingh A. Patil

122

Internationally famous art gallery of Keki Moose at Chalisgaon; Wooden

house of Bahinaabai Chaudhari at Asoda village are the living legends of rich

cultural heritage of Khandesh which need immediate attention for their

conservation.

5.2.6 Folk arts and artists of Khandesh1

Khandesh is a fond lover region of folk arts. Many Art loving groups are

scattered in this region. Large groups of Mahar and Mang communities inherit the

inborn spirit of traditional arts. It is aptly said in Khandesh- "Singing and dancing

(is found) at Mahar's house and reading, writing at Brahmin's". Recent times have

modified the aims and means of arts, but richness of traditional arts is still visible

in their homes. Now a day Mang, Mahar communities exhibit singing, dancing,

music playing, acting, through different folk arts such as folk plays, Tamashas

(traditional stage acts), orchestra, band party and banjo groups. This fact is evident

from the groups of Bhika Bhima Sangvikar and Anand Loknatya Mandal. Fugadi

dance of women in probably all communities, Bhillau dance of Bhill, and Viroba

dance of Dhanagars (Shepherds) are quite popular among the people.

5.2.7 Un-comparable mourning (sorrowful) Songs1

This is one more unique characteristic of Khandesh. These songs are very

rarely sung elsewhere. They are sung particularly by women. They are very

sensitive and heart touching.. When a woman is emotionally struck very severely

at heart such as the death of some near and dear one, her grief flows out

spontaneously in the form of a very touching song. This mourning song is not

printed or readily available in the market, but instant outburst of the sorrow of that

woman. It is effective enough to make a listener weep howsoever distantly related

or unrelated he or she may be.

Ref 1: Prof. Dr. Shashikant Sonawane – “History & Cultural Aspects of Khandesh”

and translated by: Prof. Ravindrasingh A. Patil

123

These songs are unique, wording is personalized and describe the noble

memories of the dead and also her intimate relationship with the dead one.

5.2.8 Some customs and traditions of Khandesh2

Most of the communities in Khandesh observe some traditions and

customs. Some of them are- playing Akhaji on the Akshayya-tritiya; to arrange

gondhal- jagaran during the marriage ceremony; munja (unmarried young boys)

bhojan; to arrange a marriage of frogs and procession of dhondi for praying rain

showers to pour down; festivals of gramdevatas like Mari mata, Khandoba; to beg

for holi; fixing of annual labour contracts for farming etc. Through these acts,

Khandesh culture sweetly whispers its past and present in our ears.

5.3 Political history of Khandesh

Khandesh District is a former administrative division of British India,

which included the present-day Jalgaon, Dhule and Nandurbar districts and a

portion of Nashik District in Maharashtra.

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, Khandesh was part of the Maratha

Confederacy, and was ruled by the Maratha Peshwa2. The district was annexed to

British India at the conclusion of the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1818. A

southern portion of the district was detached to form Nashik District in 1869. In

1906 the district was divided into East Khandesh and West Khandesh districts,

with their capitals at Jalgaon and Dhulia (Dhule), respectively. East Khandesh was

later renamed Jalgaon District, and West Kandesh, later renamed Dhule District,

was split in Dhule and Nandurbar districts in 1998.

The year 1985 saw the commencement of a Spinning Mill called Jawahar

Shetkari Sahakari Soot Girni Ltd., Dhule which was destined for steady and

consistent growth in the years to come. Jawahar Shetkari Sahakari Soot Girni Ltd;

was awarded First Prize for Accumulated Profit for the year 2008-09 by Chief

Minister of Maharashtra State Hon. Pritviraj Chavan.

This was the consecutive fifth Gold Prize for Girni. After inception in 1985

the mill worked on only carded yarns for the local markets. After 3 to 4 years the

mill planned for expansion in terms of spindleage increase and as well going for

multiple counts of yarn in both carded and combed. There was good response even

for export of the yarns to European, South East Asia and Neighboring countries.

The mill which started in 1985 had a capacity of 25000 spindles, then

slowly the mill increased its spindleage year by year after 2002 – 03. In 2002 – 03

the total spindleage capacity was 32000. By the end of 2011 -12 the spindleage had

increased to 88000. So, from 2002 -03 to 2011 -112 the increase in spindleage was

more than 250%. Jawahar Sahakar Sooth Girni is one such mill which went for

expansion as per the requirement of production in the market. From the above table

The production over the ten years period of yarn has increased multiple

times due to the multiple spin plan programs of the mill. Initially there were only

two or three carded yarns spun (mainly 34S and 35

S) which effected in low

production of only 6800 kg per day. From 2004 – 05 the mill adopted two different

lines for producing combed and carded yarns respectively. The combed yarns were

coarser in counts mainly 16S, 18

S and 20

S and the carded yarns were 10

S, 13

S, 16

S

and 20S. So, we see the production going up in terms of kgs. In 2007 – 08 third line

of production started for combed hosiery counts namely 26S, 10

S, 20

S and 30

S. So,

the production jumped from 16800 kgs to 28000 kgs. With modernization and

increase in spindleage capacity the production also increased to 42000 kgs in 2009

– 10 and 50000 kgs per day in 2010 – 11. The mill which started spinning medium

range counts slowly shifted to coarser counts with combing and hosiery types to

fulfill the export obligation successfully for which the mill was awarded the best

co-operative spinning mill in Marashtra state by Maharashtra State Co-operative

Spinning Mill Federation.

The mill after inception in 1985 continued to produce cotton carded yarns

only up to 2005 – 06. After modernization the mill started slowly increasing

combed yarn production along with carded yarn production as shown above.

5.5.1 Production of process waste

As the production of yarn increased over the ten year period the

consumption of cotton also increased. As this mill concentrated on quality of yarn

there was no comprise on the norms of SITRA on waste percentage or yarn

realization for producing quality yarns. The yarn realization for carded yarns was

maintained at 88% while for combed yarns it was 78%.The distribution of

production of carded and combed was based on demand from the market for

particular counts.

As per the data available from 2004 – 05 when the mill actually went for

active modernization and expansion the distribution of production of combed yarn

and carded yarn was 60:40. When we look into the total production of the mill

from 2002 – 03 to 2011 – 12the production can be easily bifurcated into 60%

combed yarn and 40% carded yarn. From the above discussion the cotton

consumption can be calculated from the total production of combed and carded

yarns. So on and average the realization on total production is calculated to be

around 80%. So, the mill had 20% of process waste produced over the 10 years

period.

From 2002 - 03 to 2003 – 04 the mill was processing medium counts like

34S, 35

S and 36

S.So, the production was around 6400 kgs to 9800 kgs per day.

From 2004 – 05 there was change in the spin plans which enable the mill to start

separate processing lines for combed yarn and carded yarn separately. The mill‟s

management policy to adopt coarser and medium counts enabled increased

production in terms of kgs. So, from 2004 – 05 to 2011 – 2012 there is a steady

growth in production of yarns per day. There was increase from 11600 kgs in 2004

– 05 to 38500 kgs in 2011 – 12 showing an increase of more than 300% in the

production of yarn. The mill for its excellence in quality production entered into

export business for combed and carded yarns. The biggest advantage the mill had

was great capacity of ginned cotton around its premises which supplied fresh

cotton to the mill.

5.6.9 Production of process waste

As the production of yarn increased over the ten year period the

consumption of cotton also increased. As this mill concentrated on quality of yarn

there was no comprise on the norms of SITRA on waste percentage or yarn

realization for producing quality yarns. The yarn realization for carded yarns was

maintained at 88% while for combed yarns it was 78%.The distribution of

production of carded and combed was based on demand from the market for

particular counts.

As per the data available from 2004 – 05 when the mill actually went for

active modernization and expansion the distribution of production of combed yarn

and carded yarn was 60:40. When we look into the total production of the mill

from 2002 – 03 to 2011 – 12 the production can be easily bifurcated into 60%

combed yarn and 40% carded yarn. From the above discussion the cotton

consumption can be calculated from the total production of combed and carded

yarns. So on and average the realization on total production is calculated to be

around 80%. So, the mill had 20% of process waste produced over the 10 years

period.

Over the ten years period from 2002 – 03 to 2011 – 12 the production of

the mill has been fluctuating from 2200 kgs per day to 3600 kgs of peak production

in 2007 – 08 and again falling down to 2400 kgs per day in 2011 – 12 This low

profile production is due to the management policy of producing single count of

medium range for supplying to local market. The other factors which contributed

low production were non-availability of raw material, labor and surplus capital for

purchase of raw material.

5.8.2 Production of process waste

As this mill did not undergo any modernization programs over the ten year

period the waste collected was very conventional in nature with labors employed in

various departments to collect the wastes from the machines. The yarn realization

in this mill was 80% to 82% and the process waste produced was 18% to 20% on

the total consumption of cotton.
