Rope which has a variety of uses in every
day life is made from different types of fibre like jute,
flax, hemp, coir, pineapple etc. The rope is usually made
in villages manually in a laborious manner, involving considerable
amount of drudgery.
In order to eliminate the drudgery, provide
employment opportunities and enhance the earning capacity
of the rural population, a simple rope making machine using
easily available sewing machine parts and bicycle components
has been designed. The machine can be easily operated by sitting
on a stool by simple pedaling as in a sewing machine. Its
maintenance is easy.
Using the machine a person can produce 5-10
Kg per hr. Of rope per day as against the 500-700 gm by the
manual methods in vogue. It can provide self employment to
women and children in villages, who can earn Rs. 15-20 per
day by making ropes, sutlis etc. from easily available and
inexpensive fibrous materials.
It is understood that the use of this machine
is receiving encouragement from Khadi and Villlage Industries
Board/Commission, Rural Development Programme, S.C. &
S.T. Development Scheme and Nationalized rural banks. The
cost of the machine is Rs.2000/-.
