ObjectiveThe basic idea of the Rural Engineering Project is to come up with a project idea with the aim to set up a small scale industry that fulfills the following objectives:
• The customer of the manufactured product should be the common man.
• The product should be an item that is used in everyday life.
• The product should be not too expensive.
• The manufacturing process should provide livelihood to as many people as possible
• including skilled and unskilled labor.
• The initial setup to manufacture it should not be too high.
• Should be able to compete with in the market with the currently existing counterparts.
• Should have a market.
• It should desirably be in sync with nature and not pollute the environment.
• It should be safe and not pose any danger to the consumer.
• Raw material required should be preferably available locally or nearby .
• It should not require too complex technical knowledge.
• End product should be simple to use by the consumer.
• Maintenance should desirably be available once handed over to the consumer.
• Maintenance should not be too costly or infeasible.
• It is desirable that it is better and more efficient than the currently existing counterparts.
• Access to local industry where a similar product is already being manufactured is required to study the process.
• It is desirable that the local people can be trained with ease with the methodology required in the manufacturing process.
• The product should be of good quality.
• Profit margin should be sufficient to sustain its continued production.
• It is desirable to have a scope for extension/ improvement/ to meet future demands/needs.
Brainstorming Following project ideas were explored during brainstorming:-1. Robust footwear2. Chalk3. Biogas4. Solar water heater5. Artificial jewelry6. Detergent/soaps7. Multi-utility furniture8. Wax candle9. Oil10. Paper
Selection of Idea• After doing survey through questionnaires and on
internet, we narrowed on detergent powder and cake manufacturing due to the following reasons:
1. Detergent powder and cake has an ever increasing demand.
2. It is unaffected by recession or market ups and downs.3. Returns are quite high on large scale.4. Not much training and skill required for workers.5. It can be done on a large scale.6. It can give employment to large number of people.7. Rural people can be easily employed in this industry.8. The product is required by every class and section of
society.
