Kerala. Development of traditional industries

you are: Kerala

K.K.Varijara's story has reminded me and even of one important reform spent in staff which has mentioned each worker. Kerala-unique staff in India which has nationalised trade in food grain, and it is on sale to the population on the controllable state to the prices through a wide network of the shops co-operative and specially allocated for this purpose.

Considerable measures are accepted in Kerala on development of traditional industries.

I had to happen time and again at the enterprises making kojrovuju a yarn and products from it. I saw, how women beat sticks on the inflated peel of the coconuts soaked in sea water, aspiring to separate kojrovoe a fibre. The semidecayed peel publishes an unpleasant smell. Then kojra dries and of it on primitive distaffs do a yarn, in air there is a small dust. At other enterprise in kilone I observed, how on the wooden machine tools invented, probably, of many centuries ago and the same as during those remote times, working weaved kojrovye carpets. They set machine tools in motion by means of hands and feet simultaneously.

And workers receive pennies for this heavy work even below a minimum established by the government. The reason for all the intermediary between manufacturers of coconuts and those who does kojrovuju a yarn and products of it. Using that it has free money which can be put into circulation, the intermediary robs also those and others: for nothing buys up a peel of coconuts and vtridoroga sells it after vymochki. Owners of small handicraft workshops remain before a choice - either to close business, or to pay pennies in worker.
