NCRMI has been carrying out elaborate
training programme across the entire state of Kerala
on spinning of various types of coir to improve the
dexterity and adaptability of those workers engaged
in this field to enable them to manufacture those
commodities that are in demand. The training has evolved
wide spread enthusiasm among the target group.
The first phase of the training
programme on spinning is imparted by using Traditional
Ratts fitted with 0.25 HP Motors. It is conducted
at major coir spinning areas, to women workers in
the co-operative/private sector who are not familiar
with spinning of different varieties of yarn, the
first phase completed in which 32 batches covering
731 women workers were trained through out the state
The second phase is intended to
extend the training for total 625 women workers. The
segment is already commenced and still continuing
in various districts. NCRMI is earning good reputation

Training on
the production of Coir Geotextiles
As majority of women coir workers
are below poverty line and most of them depends on
coir industry for their livelihood, it is decided
to give them training to create value addition to
their product, the coir yarn. In the export market
scenario of coir products, coir geotextiles is one
of the items being exported. Coir geotextiles are
also used as an engineering material. Its production
process is very simple. Anugraha loom installed at
the Park is so light and simple that it can be used
for the production of coir geotextiles with very less
drudgery compared to the traditional handlooms used
in the coir industry. Women coir workers are trained
to work in such looms resulting value addition to
the coir yarn. This training will help them to earn
more compared to their present day income.
