Foreword

In the context of the globalization of economic environment and liberalized market forces in this country,

technology business incubation appears to be a very relevant concept, especially to turn the innovative research

ideas into sound commercial ventures.

National Institute of Research in Jute & Allied Fiber Technology (NIRJAFT) since last seven decades has

comprehensively been doing research to develop commercially scalable technologies in the field of jute and other

allied fibers in the country. Considerable numbers of technologies have so far been developed involving

processing product and service designing. There are attempts made to make these technologies available to

entrepreneurs but the challenge remains to reach wider stakeholders so that the optimal usage of the technologies

attained. The major constraint in promoting technologies among the entrepreneurs is bring in market interface in

the technology development, which by and large not been fulfilled by the institute. The core areas of research

seldom keeps scientists busy in developing the technology, which includes designing, testing and prototyping

whereas market interface brings in elements of ‘doing business’ perspective in implementing the technology. The

core skill in bringing business perspective generally lies outside the domain of the technology innovation

institutions and that’s also the case for NIRJAFT. The initiative within the perimeters of National Agricultural

Innovation Project (NAIP) brings in the necessary attributes to ‘make technology pro-entrepreneur’ through

setting up ‘Business Planning & Development Unit’ within the fold of NIRJAFT, it will address the felt need to

commercialize evolved technologies more effectively.

The technologies developed in NIRJAFT can be classified into two broad categories such as (i)

development of quality raw materials (e.g., fiber etc.) and (ii) value addition of raw fibres. The technologies

belong to category 1 are by and large, low-cost appropriate technology domain whereas category 2 requires more

use of mechanization and instrumentation. The process pathway for technology adoption is therefore different in

both the cases. The levels of developed technologies needs mediation and facilitation support in order to make

them fully commercial. The levels of hand-holding to entrepreneurs are expected to be quite extensive. In this

context it would be convenient to use ‘Business Incubation’ approach with a view to promoting partnerships for

new technology with entrepreneurs and start- up companies and it is fully in commensurate with the visions of

NAIP. This BPD unit is first of its kind in jute technology. So, for the change in the mindset of the scientists and

for the change in the R&D culture of the institute, the setting up of NIRJAFT-BPD unit under NAIP is a need of

the hour.

Preface

The Zonal Technology Management & Business Planning and Development Unit at NIRJAFT (ZTM-BPD unit at

NIRJAFT) is a place where the process of starting agribusiness venture is catalyzed. This is by supporting

entrepreneurs with agri-technology, consultancy, consulting with management experts, venture capital funding,

and marketing.

National Institute of Research on Jute & Allied Fibre Technology (NIRJAFT) established in 1938 is dedicated to

the cause of Jute and Allied Fibres in respect of agricultural development in one hand and industrial growth on

the other. The R&D programmes of the institute are implemented through the following four divisions:

i) Quality Evaluation and Improvement Division

ii) Mechanical Processing Division

iii) Chemical & Biochemical Processing Division

iv) Transfer of Technology Division

and sections like Library, Design Development & Maintenance, ARIS Cell, Directors Cell, Technical Cell, PME

Cell and Museum.

The idea of creation of BPD unit at NIRJAFT is a new concept. This idea gave a new message to organized jute

industry, small and medium entrepreneurs and rural artisans about NIRJAFT’s endeavor for technology

commercialization. The business incubation process, which is a part of BPD supports the enterprises by providing

technology, management expertise, networks and access to seed capital. The unit also provided physical

infrastructure necessary to start new business, offering office and lab space and shared resources such as

machinery, equipment, trained personnel and support services. The BPD unit provides business planning,

feasibility studies, conference, workshops, networking, technical assistance, legal and financial referrals and

mentorship.

The most attractive part of the BPD unit at NIRJAFT is that the entrepreneurs get advanced technologies

for producing value added and diversified jute products, financial referrals for obtaining loan on commercial term

from banks along with support of excellent infrastructure and services of NIRJAFT. With excellent technological

base and good services of the BPD unit, NIRJAFT tried its level best to attract financial and non financial

services to complement the incubator services.

The Zonal Technology Management & Business Planning and Development unit at NIRJAFT has also tried to

showcase and commercialise the technologies of 16 (sixteen) ICAR Institutes included in the catchment of Zonal

Technology Management Centre (ZTMC), east zone at NIRJAFT organizing several Agribusiness camps and

Entrepreneurs’ meet.

Executive Summary

Zonal Technology Management- Business Planning & Development Unit was formed under NAIP, Component-1

as a sponsored project of ICAR and World Bank at National Institute of Research on Jute & Allied Fibre

Technology (ICAR), Kolkata vide letter no. 30(2D) /2009/ NIRJAFT/BPD/NAIP/O&M dated 12th May 2009.

The aim of the project is to accomplish science and technology driven, sustainable socio-economic gain with the

help of inventions derived from the NARS through commercialisation of technologies and enterprise

development.

Launching of ZTM- BPD at NIRJAFT

The project started with initial sanctioned budget of Rs. 415.36 lakhs which was increased to Rs. 420.792 lakhs.

Duration of the project was three years initially. The contractual staffs engaged were Business Manager (1),

Senior Research Fellow (3), Pilot Plant Engineer (1), Pilot Plant Maintenance Supervisor (1) and Office

Assistance. Later it was extended from 1st April 2012 to 31st March 2014 and revised sanctioned budget was Rs

498.62 lakhs. In this period the contractual staffs engaged was also modified containing Business Manager (1),

Senior Research Fellow (2), Pilot Plant Maintenance Supervisor (1) and Office Assistance. The salient

achievement of ZTM-BPD Unit, NIRJAFT during the period is elaborated hereunder.

The concept and function of the ZTM-BPD Unit being novel and rational, sensitising the target groups of people

was felt vital. ZTM–BPD Unit conducted eight Sensitization Programmes among rural unemployed youth, skilled

/ semi skilled women, members of NGOs, farmers and entrepreneurs of the State. They were made aware of the

purpose of the Unit of assisting in employment generation through capacity development, creating entrepreneurial

ability, business development using NIRJAFT technologies. They were also explained about the proactive role to

be played by NIRJAFT in providing them training, assisting them to fabricate their products by utilizing pilot

7

plant facilities and helping them to look for proper market for selling their products. The technologies developed

by NIRJAFT were demonstrated with audio visual aid and accessing the physical samples of the product

developed.

Training programmes on the manufacture of Handmade paper, Decorative jute fabric, Jute Bags/ Shopping Bags,

Jute Handicrafts Items and Jute Ornaments were arranged for the artisans and youth having ability and inclination

in jute diversified product manufacture. The trainees came from around Kolkata and near-by districts of West

Bengal. Total 76 participants took part in those training programs. The participants obtained hands on training of

manufacturing the items, source of raw material, market and future opportunity in this field. ZTM-BPD Unit

conducted training program at Beguakhali at Sagar Island (Sundar Ban area) of South 24 Pargana District of W.B.

on Jute Handicrafts. Total 25 village women and men were trained to increase their skill with the aim of assisting

in their livelihood generation in addition to their normal jute cultivation practice. Training on “Jute Stick Particle

Board” was conducted for few entrepreneurs to get the practical knowledge on which they are interested to

develop business. In addition to that “Pilot Plant Trial Production” on Jute Stick Particle Board and Handmade

Paper are in practice schedule in the activity of ZTM-BPD Unit as per requirement of the entrepreneurs.

ZTM-BPD Unit organized 18 Agri-Business meets in the east zone ICAR institutes aiming to create awareness,

build competencies on agribusiness among entrepreneurs, and establish partnerships among agribusiness sectors

in the Eastern states of India. The outcome of these events can be summarised as: Dissemination of data on

technologies available in ICAR institutes of east zone, Interaction with the concerned scientists regarding

technology know-how, Interaction with the Personnel of Financial Institutes regarding financial assistance, loan

available for business development, better networking between Investors, Inventors and the Incubates.

Part-II: Technical Details

1. Introduction

The ZTMC BPD at NIRJAFT , was set up with the funding from NAIP with the specific objectives to identify

the potential technologies ready for commercialization and develop into marketable technologies and upscale

them under public-private partnership framework, to develop a mechanism for transferring technology from

NIRJAFT to public/private sector using R&D backup of the institute in commercializing the technologies, to

impart consultancy and training for creating prospective entrepreneurs and value added manpower, to strengthen

R&D focus of the institute towards more applied research through backward linkage from industry.

Due to various reasons the jute products market declined drastically in the Western world along with many

socio-economic changes.

A serious thought was badly needed to overcome the drawbacks by adopting proper socio-economic

programmes, which is still lying neglected due to some unknown reasons. Though some measures have been

taken up by the Govt. of India for boosting up jute industry through implementation of jute mission viz. setting up

jute manufacture development council for development of marketing, national centre of jute diversification for

giving assistance to new entrepreneurs, implementation of R & D programme through different organization

including institute of jute technology. Central Govt. also provides capital and tax subsidy for production of

technical textiles including cash subsidy on export of jute products.

Till date a number of technologies have been developed in the field of process, service and product. Different

methodologies are followed to transfer the benefit of the technologies to the stakeholders but still more focus is

needed in this direction. The business planning and development unit will particularly focus to some of the

identified technologies to the potential entrepreneurs and will incubate them till they stand on their own field

economically. The incubatee will get full support from the unit regarding technology consultancy and laboratory

facilities so that the technology is fully implemented and become a commercially viable project.

The initiative under the Component-I of NAIP to formulate business policy, plan and develop models for

technology commercialization and establish technology incubators is part of ICAR attempt to strengthen the

infrastructure of the research institutions and give a new face to research programmes.

The ICAR has identified NIRJAFT as one of the potential institute to set up a Zonal Technology Management

Centre for providing incubation facilities for technologies developed by the institute. This facility will also help

other agricultural institutes in eastern zone to commercialize their technologies.

12

The Zonal Technology Management-Business Planning & Development Unit at NIRJAFT will be a place

where the process of starting Agri-Business venture is catalyzed. This is by supporting entrepreneurs with agri-

technology, consultancy, consulting with management experts, venture capital funding and marketing.

Technology business incubator (TBI) in agriculture is a new phenomenon with a guiding example of ABI-

ICRISAT that would be followed at ZTM - BPD, NIRJAFT.

2. Overall Sub-project Objectives

a) To identify the potential technologies ready for commercialization and develop into marketable

technologies and upscale them under public-private-partnership framework

b) To develop a mechanism for transferring the Technologies from NIRJAFT to public/private sector using

4. Baseline Analysis

(Baseline data on the pre-project situation supported by tables, charts, photographs)

Use of jute as textile fibre, was initially explored by flax spinners at Dundee, UK. The spinners having

found jute apparently more or less similar to flax and much less costly, under took to experiment with it. By some

modifications of the machines, the flax spinners were successful in manufacturing all-jute cloth in 1833. But cloth

could not gain popularity. In the year 1838, as an experiment, Dutch Government placed an order for jute bags

(probably from Hessian fabric) and it was a grand success. Till then jute fibre was dominating the world market

15

mainly to produce bags and sacks for packing food grains, sugar, cement, fertilizers, sand etc.,. Later on, jute was

also found to be highly useful for making Carpet backings, Brattice cloth, Agro-nets, Ropes and Twines and lot

more, etc.,.

A report of the study group on jute, kenaf and allied fibres formed in 1969 by Food and Agriculture

Organization of United Nations, Rome reveals that although jute was the most preferred material for bags and

carpet backing, users experienced certain difficulties with regard to its availability and price. In short term, there

have been considerable fluctuations in supplies and prices of jute and jute cloth. A continual threat of short-term

interruption in jute supplies exists as a result of crop failure, political disturbances, transport strikes, and other

causes. The most serious stoppage was at the time of Indo-Pakistan conflict in 1964-65 and in 1971. Temporary

stoppages in the supply of jute or imbalance between supply and demand led to violent fluctuations in prices of

jute and jute goods in the past. And at the same time fears about the long-term future availability of jute and jute

goods led jute users to welcome the development of domestic substitutes (and development of synthetic tape bag),

which are free from these disturbances.

After six decades of Indian independence, there is a paradigm shift in socio-economic and socio-political

condition of India leading to a steady improvement in economic condition of the rural and semi urban areas. In

spite of extensive intrusion of synthetics in traditional packaging sector, requirement of value added jute products

in other areas are increasing day by day due to growing consciousness of environment and ecological balance. A

substantial number of R & D works has been carried out in research institutes/universities in India to identify area

like, home furnishing, geo-textiles, other technical textiles by improved agricultural and post harvest knowledge

inputs, chemical modification of jute fibre, improved process technology/parameters, development of composite

boards, hand-made paper, etc., (which have huge market potential in India and abroad) by maximum utilization of

positive qualities (which are not available from the synthetic counter-part at low cost) and also by minimizing

some of the drawbacks of jute fibre/products.

Besides, raw jute trade has got some inherent economic drawbacks (three-four tier of marketing), jute

industry is high cost and inventory intensive. Age-old jute mills are very large, machines are old, having high

man days/ tonne but owners are new with age-old mind-set for trading with conventional packaging products. So,

consequent low profitability, results in lack of interest to produce any new products (for which some new

machinery may have to be procured at substantial price). A serious thought was badly needed to overcome the

drawbacks by adopting proper socio-economic programme, which is still lying neglected due to some unknown

reasons. Though some measures have been taken-up by the Government of India for boosting up jute industry

through implementation of Jute Mission, viz., setting up Jute Manufactures Development Council development

for marketing, National Centre of Jute Diversification for giving assistance to new entrepreneurs, implementation

of R & D programme through different organizations including Institute of Jute Technology. Central Government

16

also provides capital and tax subsidy for production of technical textiles. Moreover, Textile Ministry has also

providing additional cash subsidy on export of jute products. Jute industry has been enjoying the excise and

custom duty on jute products from long back. But efforts are discrete and lack in proper inclusion of agro-

economic and socio economic system oriented programme. No such heartfelt effort has been taken up as business

process development for attracting the new entrepreneurs in this sector; also no such effort has been taken up to

mobilize the fibre wealth of the nation utilizing economic benefit offered by the Government. Proper message has

not been propagated to the potential investors for the jute and allied fibre sector. In addition, Government of India

has recently announced the benefit of availability of yarn at ex-factory rate and subsidy of its transport cost to the

handloom weaver.

Till date a number of technologies have been developed in the field of process, service and product. Different

methodologies are followed to transfer the benefit of the technologies to the stakeholder, but still more focus is

needed in this direction. The business planning and development unit will particularly focus to some of the

identified technologies to the potential entrepreneurs and will incubate them till they stand on their own feet

economically. The incubatee will get full support from the unit regarding technology consultancy and laboratory

facilities so that the technology is fully implemented and become a commercially viable project.

5. Research Achievements

14 as shown in the graph below :

Once, the construction and creation of various facilities of Business Incubation Centre (BIC) was completed in

the month of September, 2012, we have made vigorous campaign which led to good occupancy in our Business

Incubation Centre. As a result revenue received under rental of BIC increased from Rs.40, 000/- in 2012-13 to

Rs.4, 17,250/- in 2013-14.

ZTM-BPD have organized a number of Investor’s meet where different catchment institutes of ZTMC-eastzone,

has been invited to present their technologies of good commercial value in front of the ntrepreneurs. This led to

creation of a platform for signing of MoUs for technologies of catchment institutes, e.g. ‘Hybrid Tomato and

Brinjal seeds varieties’ of ICAR Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna, and ‘Wine production technology

from Litchi’ of National Research Centre for Litchi, Muzaffarpur. Even entrepreneurs of remote places like

villages around Dirang, Arunachal Pradesh have started contacting NIRJAFT on commercial utilization of Yak

wool. BPD has already made some progress in this direction. BPD- NIRJAFT has made arrangement for sending

6. Innovations

Innovation-1: Incorporation of fine quality Jute Yarn Ornamental Fabric for use in Ladies Dress Materials

This innovation is related to the manufacture of jute based ornamental fabric on handloom with jacquard

shedding attachment for High end Ladies Dress Materials.

Through this innovation jute yarn can be used for the development of innovative products like Dress Materials,

Decorative and Upholstery fabrics. It is also possible to develop high value utility products like School Bag,

Laptop Bag, Apparel for outer wear, Warm garments, House hold items like curtain, wall curtail, bed cover, sofa

cover etc. For the production of these products special fine quality Jute Yarns have been developed. The fabrics

developed with different weave structure for the fabrication of the products when compared with ordinary jute

fabrics of similar constructional parameters, shows higher strength and elongation and drastic reduction in

bending modulus resulting in softer feel. The price of the Dress Materials ranges from Rs 2,000/- to Rs. 5,000/-

with the potential profit margin of 50-100%.

General Process description:

The process involves weaving jute yarns in handlooms fitted with jacquard shedding attachment into fabric; this

jacquard is designed at NIRJAFT. This is followed by cutting and stitching the fabrics into different Dress

Materials and Decorative products.

Advantages of Technology/Product:

Since jute is available in abundance in West Bengal, the products made up jute fibre can replace the other existing

products made up of other synthetic and natural materials. The cost of production is less compare to the existing

ones.

Technology Transfer: BPD NIRJAFT has signed License Agreement with RBM Industries Limited and Fulia

Women and Youth Welfare Society for this Innovation.

Innovation-2: Jute Fabric Pouches as a replacement of Paper Pouches/Box for packing Perfume Bottles

This innovation is related to the manufacture of jute based Fabric to produce Packing of High End Perfume

Bottles/ Atomizers.

25

With the destruction of forest areas, there is a tremendous shortage of wood pulp to manufacture paper based

packing materials for High valued Perfume bottles. To overcome this problem, NIRJAFT has come out with a

solution of replacing Paper with Jute Fabric in manufacturing of Packing Materials. This product is environment

friendly, gives a softer feel and an elegant look to the Products packed inside.

General Process description

The process involves knitting/weaving jute yarns into fabric and followed by printing, cutting, stitching the

fabrics into different sizes of Pouches.

Advantages of Technology/Product:

1. Low Cost

2. Natural, Biodegradable and Recyclable Product

3. Soft Texture

Technology Transfer: BPD NIRJAFT has incubated Eco Dev Consultancy Private Limited – one of NIRJAFT’s

incubatee for this Innovation.

Innovation-3: Manufacturing of Handmade Paper from Jute Waste

NIRJAFT has developed innovative technology for producing Hand-made Paper and Board of different grades

from jute waste and other agro-residues. Handmade paper/paper board made from jute waste along with minor

blending by adopting an inexpensive pulping process with minimum use of cooking chemical like caustic soda,

sodium carbonate, lime etc. The technology is suitable for raw materials, which contain any amount of lignin

while the technology being presently employed by the industry is suitable for raw materials containing relatively

low amount of lignin or no lignin at all such as banana fibre and cotton waste respectively.

General Process Description: The process involves pulping of the Agro-Residues by hot soda chemo-

mechanical process which is followed by bleaching and paper-making by hand-made process. The pulping

and the bleaching operations can be combined if necessary.

Products:

The products are paper sheets including writing grade paper, paper boards, file covers, greeting card and Paper

Bags, etc.

Advantages:

1. The process is 100% eco-friendly and non-polluting.

2. The Raw Materials used are Non-wood, Renewable, Recyclable and Biodegradable.

3. The savoir of ecology by saving trees: 1 million Handmade Paper Carry bags save 300 trees.

4. All the used and unused waste materials of Handmade Paper are Recyclable.

26

5. The technology employed is employment intensive and conducive to the welfare of the unprivileged

millions, especially artisans, artists and craftsmen.

Technology Transfer: BPD NIRJAFT has signed License Agreement with Kalighat Society for Development

Facilitation for this Innovation.

21. Steps Undertaken for Post NAIP Sustainability

Sustainability of the ZTM-BPD Unit solely depends on the acceptability of the technologies developed by

NIRJAFT. In the 5th year of the project we have commercialized six nos. of technologies to the entrepreneurs out

of which three are of our incubatee.

Since most of the technologies developed at NIRJAFT are for the benefit of small scale and cottage

industry, small and marginal farmers and rural artisans, we are constantly doing our efforts to find out suitable

entrepreneurs who are really interested to establish manufacturing units. In the year 2013, we have signed one

MoU with Fulia Women & Youth Welfare Society, Nadia, West Bengal who have taken our technology.

Furthermore, there is a gradual increase in revenue generated through the activity of BPD from June, 2009 till

date which reflects a light of sustainability of ZTM-BPD for coming year (s) also.

The following programmes may be taken up for the post NAIP sustainability

1) To impart Consultancy & Training for creating prospective entrepreneurs & value added manpower.

2) Marketing & promotional programme of ZTM-BPD Units.

3) To organize Agri-Business Camp, Investors’ meet & Industry interface in Eastern & North Eastern India.

4) To organize Entrepreneurs Development Programme.

5) Sale of products, leasing of infrastructural and pilot plant facilities, testing services.

22. Possible Future Line of Work

(Comments/suggestions of CPI regarding possible future line of work that may be taken up arising out of this

sub-project)

A. Training & incubation on different technologies at the institute as well as at the field level.

B. To organize Agribusiness meet/entrepreneurs’ meet/Farmers’ Meet for promoting developed technologies

and commercialization of the same.

C. Taking appropriate marketing strategy through newspaper advertisement, tele & radio media and leaflet
