    INTRODUCTION

    Be it an evening snack, or a banquet or a meal at home, the Papad finds its due place on

    the dining table. No Indian meal is complete without it, and India's biggest `Papad'

    success story is undoubtedly, Lijjat.

    Everyone enjoys 'rags to riches' stories and everyone likes tales of stupendous success

    achieved through sheer determination. The story of Shri Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat

    Papad is all that and much more.

    Intro To the Industry:

    Shri Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat Papad is registered under the KVIC Act- (Khadi &

    Village Industries Commission)

    The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) is a statutory organization

    established in 1956 by an Act of Parliament. It plays a pivotal role in the strengthening of

    rural economy by promoting and developing Khadi and village industries. The main

    objectives of the KVIC include skill improvement, providing employment in rural areas,

    transfer of technology, rural industrialization and promoting self-reliance among the

    people and to build up a strong rural community base.

    The functions of the KVIC are generally to plan, promote, organize and assist inimplementation of programmes for the development of Khadi and village industries. To

    achieve this, it undertakes:

    Financing of eligible agencies;

    Reason for formationof Lijjat

    Lijjat was the brain child of seven semi-literate Gujarati housewives from Bombay (now

    Mumbai). The women lived in Lohana Niwas, a group of five buildings in Girgaum.They wanted to start a venture to create a sustainable livelihood using the only skill they

    had i.e. cooking. The seven women were Jaswantiben Jamnadas Popat, Parvatiben

    Ramdas Thodani, Ujamben Narandas Kundalia, Banuben. N. Tanna, Laguben Amritlar

    Gokani, Jayaben V. Vithalani, and one more lady whose name is not known

    The women borrowed Rs 80 from Chaganlal Karamsi Parekh, a member of the Servants

    of India Society and a social worker. They took over a loss-making Papad making

    venture by one Laxmidasbhai and bought the necessary ingredients and the basic

    infrastructure required to manufacture papad. OnMarch 15, 1959, they gathered on the

    terrace of their building and started with the production of 4 packets of Papad. Theystarted selling the papad to a known merchant in Bhuleshwar. From the beginning, thewomen had decided that they would not approach anyone for donations or help, even if

    the organization incurred losse.

    Chaganlal Karamsi Parekh, popularly known as Chaganbapa, became their guide.

    Initially, the women were making two different qualities of papads, in order to sell the

    inferior one at a cheaper rate. Chaganbapa advised them to make a standard papad and

    asked them never to compromise on quality. He emphasized to them the importance of

    running it as a business enterprise and maintaining proper account.

    Lijjat expanded as a cooperative system. Initially, even younger girls could join, but later

    eighteen was fixed as the minimum age of entry. Within three months there were about

    25 women making papads. Soon the women bought some equipment for the business,like utensils, cupboards, stoves, etc. In the first year, the organization's annual sales were

    Rs. 6196. The broken papads were distributed among neighbours.

    During the first year, the women had to stop production for four months during the rainy

    season as the rains would prevent the drying of the papads. The next year, they solved theproblem by buying a cot and a stove. The papads were kept on the cot and the stove

    below the cot so that the process of drying could take place in spite of the rains.

    The group got considerable publicity through word of mouth and articles in vernacular

    newspapers. This publicity helped it increase its membership. By the second year of its

    formation, 100 to 150 women had joined the group, and by the end of the third year it had

    more than 300 members. By this time, the terrace of seven founders could no longeraccommodate the members and the ingredients, so the kneaded flour was distributed

    among the members who would take it to their homes and make papads. The papads werebrought back for weighing and packaging.

    An attempt to start a branch in Malad suburb of Mumbai, in 1961, was unsuccessful. In

    1962, the nameLijjat(Gujarati for "tasty") was chosen by the group for its products. The

    name was suggested by Dhirajben Ruparel, was chosen in a contest held for the purpose,

    with prize money of Rs. 5. The organization was named Shri Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat

    Papad. In many Indian languages, Mahila means women, Griha means home, Udyog

    means industry. By 1962-63, its annual sales of papads touched Rs. 1.82 lakh.

    In July 1966, Lijjat registered itself as a society under the Societies Registration Act

    1860. In the same month, on Chaganbapa's recommendation, U N Deodhar, the chairman

    of KVIC personally inspected the Lijjat. KVIC or Khadi Development and VillageIndustries Commission is a statutory body set up by the Government of India for

    development of rural industries. In September 1966, KVIC formally recognized Lijjat as

    a unit belonging to the "processing of cereals and pulses industry group" under the Khadi

    and Village Industries Act. It was also recognized as a "village industry". In 1966, KVIC

    granted it a working capital of Rs. 8 lakhs (0.8 million) and was allowed certain tax

    exemption.

    An attempt to start a branch in Sangli town, in 1966, was unsuccessful. The first branch

    outside Maharashtra was established at Valod, Gujarat in 1968. After tasting tremendous

    success with their papads, Lijjat began producing other products like khakhra (1974),

    masala (1976), vadi, wheat atta, and bakery products (1979). In 1970s, Lijjat set up flourmills(1975), printing division (1977) and polypropylene packing division (1978). The

    group also initiated some unsuccessful ventures such as cottage leather (1979), matches

    (1979), and agarbattis (incense sticks.

    EVALUTIONS of LIJJAT

    Decentralizations

    In two words -- decentralization works. Lijjat, have never shied away from sharing power

    in all our activities. The Sarvodaya philosophy has always been our ideal.

    All sister members of the institution are the owners. As I mentioned earlier, all profit or

    loss is shared. Only we have the authority to decide the manner in which profit or loss

    should be apportioned among ourselves.

    The committee of 21 members manages the affairs of the institution. There are also

    Sanchalikas, or supervisors, for each centre to look after the daily affairs of a centre. Butthe work of the institution is such that each and every member can take any initiative or

    any decision.

    At the same time, each and every member has the veto power. All decisions, major or

    minor, are based on consensus among members. Any single member's objection can

    nullify a decision.

    Another important fact about the institution is that no male can become a member and no

    male employee whether working or honorary or on salary basis has voting rights.

    Other than following this philosophy for our institutional set up, we have try to avoid the

    usual 'management nightmares.' For instance, production is carried out not in one central

    location but in hundreds and thousands of individual homes.

    The branch system ensures that every activity happens within its own ambit. Testing for

    quality and packaging are done at every branch.

  • 7/27/2019 Lijjat a Cooperative

    10/25

    Imagine if all the production from all over India were to be gathered at one central office

    where it would be checked for quality, packed, transported to various depots anddistributors, if collection were to be centralised and if distribution of vanai and profits too

    were centralised. Wouldn't it be a logistical nightmare?

    Our solution is simple. Let the branch be responsible for all activities from production to

    packaging to collection and distribution of vanai and profit for its particular geographical

    region. In following this simple system, we don't solve management problems, but avoid

    them.

    Certain activities, however, are centralised. For one, all raw materials are purchased in

    Mumbai and then distributed to the 62 branches to ensure consistent quality of Lijjat

    Papad.

    Given the vastness of India, every region produces different quality of urad, rice, spices,

    et cetera. If procured locally, the final product would never be consistent in quality and

    Lijjat would have no USP (unique selling proposition) in the market.

    The other centralised process is the grinding of flour. We own two grinding mills, one in

    Vashi (Navi Mumbai) and one in Nashik (in Maharashtra). Since the raw material is

    purchased in Mumbai, grinding the flour at our own mills helps reduce costs.

    Pricing of the products is also done at the head office. Lijjat papads all over India cost Rs

    16.25 a kg. This price factors in the cost of raw materials, transport, taxes, distributors

    commission, profit percentage and so on.

    famous papads it also currently has -

    Chillies, Coriander and ready mix masala and like Garam Masala, Tea

    Masala, Pav Bhaji Masala, Punjabi Chole Masala etc. are prepared and

    packed in consumer packs.

    A Printing Division also at the same place.

    Targeting and Equity Issues

    By the nature of its work and philosophy, Lijjat is a self-targeting enterprise.

    Its pro-poor bias is part of its institutional genetic code. It is an articulated

    working philosophy that the organisation is neither for the poor sisters, nor

    for the rich ones (Basic Philosophy and Practices of our Organisation, Symbol

    of Womens Strength- Lijjat Press 2004)

    Since only women from the lower income groups are actually willing to do the work of

    rolling papads, in itself a highly laborious and time consuming undertaking, the nature of

    the activity makes for a self-selection among the economically active poor. There is also

    self-selection in terms of women with a somewhat entrepreneurial aptitude since the

    earnings are both in the form of both in the form of wages and shared profits. What iseven more important is their sense of ownership of the enterprise and the role that many

    of them play in management.

    This makes Lijjat one of the most equitably owned and managed enterprises operating

    at this level. It also accounts for its rapid expansion and growth, which is a

    reflection of a collective decision. Without proclaiming themselves as icons

    of gender equity, the Lijjat members have demonstrated that it is possible to

    run a profitable commercial enterprise entirely for and by women

  • 7/27/2019 Lijjat a Cooperative

    .

    Marketing and Technology Linkages

    One of the reasons for the success of the program is the well defined

    strategy of forward and backward linkages in the project. This was facilitated

    with the establishment of producers co-operatives, which helped in both

    aggregation of produce as well as distribution of inputs, thereby creating

    economies of scale in both the functions. The aggregation of produce also

    helped in higher realization of prices.

    The strategy of local value addition through peoples institution helped in

    higher retention and thereby income among the producers. This was done

    through the establishment of processing centres in a cluster of villages for

    both mango and cashew. For marketing of the produce, the creation of

    brand Vrindivan was another significant step which helped in tapping the

    local retail market for mango pickles and pulp.

    The marketing support function is done through the 12 Co-operatives,

    which also acts as an apex body for 12-15 Ayojan Samitis. These institutions

    are engaged in mango and cashew processing, marketing of farm produce,

    purchase of inputs in bulk and distributing the same in a decentralised manner.

    The wadi farmers have contributed Rs. 14.2 lakhs as a share capital. The

    Vasundhara Co-operative is the oldest co-operative, which is providing the

    marketing support to all newly formed co-operatives. In the financial year

  • 7/27/2019 Lijjat a Cooperative

    14/25

    2003-04, about 192 tonnes of cashew and 560 tonnes of mango was

    processed. The sales turnover of Vasundhara co-operative in 2000-01 was

    Rs. 72.61 lakhs and it increased to Rs. 204.21 lakhs in 2003-04, registering

    a growth of around 200 percent.

    Replicability Potential

    The spread of the program in the number of villages in three districts itself

    is an evidence of the scope of replicability of the program. The intervention

    can be started in hilly terrain or even in the plains with suitable agro-climatic

    conditions with moderate to high rainfall areas. One of the key elements of

    success is to ensure a market of the produce, which may not be done through

    the program, at least in the initial stages.

    The same program can be replicated around other activities, which can

    judiciously use the existing natural resource base but with a shift from traditional

    agriculture. The possible avenues could be floriculture, olericulture or even

    cultivation of medicinal plants but with an existence of an assured buyer.

    Financial Linkages

    One of key factors to Lijjats success in terms of outreach and rapid scaling

    up is the policy of internal generation of resources and rotating working

    capital on a weekly/biweekly cycle. Marketing is on a strictly cash-and-carry

    basis, allowing for funds to be continuously recycled in the business profit

    margins were such that they enabled a rapid scaling up of operations through

    continuous expansion. The Sisters Savings Fund is also available to the each

  • 7/27/2019 Lijjat a Cooperative

    15/25

    of the Lijjat branches, to tide over short-term cash deficits, in case of necessity.

    In addition to self-generated resources, borrowings from KVIC were resorted

    to as and when required.

    Recommendation

    They must try to concentrate more on their business than their women

    empowerment. They must try to bring constant change in their business to grow

    more so that they can provide more employment opportunities.

    They must try to bring changes in the PRODUCTS and to their PACKAGING its

    very important factor due to its visuals appearances. They must try a different

    packing e.g. color, pack, print etc.

    Expanding the business is an very important factor for any company so as to

    LIJJAT though its a cooperate but they follow the same mode of process as

    corporate. So as same applies to LIJJAT they must try to expand their business in

    the near by countries such as NEPAL, SRILANKA etc. its just an e.g. they must

    try to go international.

    Their market share of PAPAD is amazing they can improve in others sectors or

    other products also by ways of various strategy research marketing of their

    products etc. They must try to increase their others products sales also.

    As they are in FMCG goods provider they must expand their product line by

    coming up with new products such PICKLES, SWEETS as laddu, ready made

    gulab jamun etc. this will also help their business to expand.

    Coming up with a new product and hoping that product to be a success is very bigtask. PROMOTION can be a very useful weapon here. Providing small amount or

    small part of that product with the existing one can do a job of survey. Through

    the response of the customer they will come to know that the products will survive

    in the market or not.

    Advertising play a very important role in products sales because due to looking at

    the ads people come to know about the products. Advertise may cost but at the

    same time they make a presence of the products in the market. Advertisement of

    new products is important so that the people come to know the presence of it.
