01. DemographIc DIstrIbutIon oF unIts
the entire bamboo cluster is placed in a very close proximity of 1 Km Diameter in Nisarpur, outskirts of Naubatpur, NH 98.
the close proximity gives opportunity for small units to grow and supply to bigger units for trading. since bamboo products has more then 100 variety so to manufacture all options is difficult since demand for few products is very limited. so it gave a good opportunity to small units to specialize in mass production on limited/ single products.
opportunItIessince the entire cluster is within a close proximity it is also beneficial to implement different schemes like common facilities centre, training camp.

cOmmOn prOblems anD recOmmenDatiOn
01. worKer relateD problems
Bamboo products cluster completely a skill based industry. Bamboo growing, processing and product making requires very knowledge and skills. being craftsman a very important part of the industry, the units are facing following problems related to craftsman:
(a) average skills as a practice young craftsman learn the skills under supervision of experienced one. The craftsman training requires lot of time and there are no training program, also craftsman are not technically trained and lacks technical knowledge to process bamboo. Since the production highly depends on skills of craftsman, Ultimately quality of products is average and it reflects in the finished products.
recommendation:> skill development program > technical training workshops

02. pre-manuFacturIng (a) bamboo plantation
03. manuFacturIng processes anD technIques (a) cutting (b) chopping (c) pieces (D) pealing (e) burning (F) splitting (g) making 04. post-manuFacturIng (a) storage (b) sale

(b) secondary profession bamboo craftsmanship is secondary profession for most of the units as their livelihood mainly depends on farming, hence they dedicate most of the time on farming and work on bamboo products in free time, specially women members works 1-2 HRS average per day, after completing their house hold task. Since its a secondary profession hence it gets less priority and it ultimately reflects on finished products.
Its a serious problem and a big hurdle in clusters growth, very serious efforts are required to make bamboo products craftsmanship their primary professions and its only possible by generating more income and to create more income good designs and a better market is required.
recommendation:> better market for products to generate more income > local marketing and motivation to grow it a full time business
0 2. pre-manuFacturIng
the pre-manufacturing stage involves bamboo plantation and procurement of raw material from different sources and energy requirements like LPG gas etc.
(a) bamboo plantationThe Villagers grow mostly bamboo in their fields/ land for their own production. Locally grown bamboo is a medium quality bamboo primarily used for construction sites etc and it is not recommended for products. It lacks few essential qualities like elasticity etc.
recommendation:> training to grow best suitable bamboo for products. > Using advance technology for growing bamboo and profit making

(b) choppingIts important to remove extra branches just after cutting. It usually done by the same person who cuts bamboo. Its a quick job and requires good attention to protect bamboo.
recommendation and remedial solutions:> right tools to be used for better efficiency.> should be done before transporting bamboo.> new tool can be developed for the job.

(D) pealingPealing is a very essential stage in bamboo preparation, the top skin is typically very thin and dry up very fast soon after cutting the bamboo, so it is recommended to peal if off and treat the bamboo.
This stage prepares surface for next stage of treatment.
recommendation and remedial solutions:> platform to work > pealing tool development> safety gears for casting workers.> tools to measure precession in pealing skin.

pealingcutting
(c) piecesthis stage involves cutting the bamboo in working lengths considering burning and pealing. Knot to knot difference is generally 200-250MM, and cutting is done in 1000-1200mm lengths.
This stage makes bamboo in working lengths for ease of handling.
recommendation and remedial solutions:> platform to work > cutting tools> safety gears to protect hands.

(e) burning
Burning is a critical process, required precision and experience.this step insures a coating on bamboo surface to protect it from color variations.
recommendation and remedial solutions:> specialized burning tools> assembly line process for fast processing.> safety gears to handle rough edges> safe burning practices
surface burning is a age old technique and dose not give a very good surface finish. There is a huge opportunity to explore new surface finishes like color die, sand blasting, paint etc.
even burning can be done more creatively be creating patterns with help of metal templates.

(f) splittingSplitting is the first step towards making or crafting product. Splits are usually done as per width requirement for final product. Post splitting bamboo in even nos like 6 or 8, bamboo slice is again cleaned from inside, knots are removed to make it more thinner to increase flexibility.
recommendation and remedial solutions:> splitting tool and cleaning tool design.> work station for the job.

(g) making
1. splitting and pastingone way of making products is to split bamboo in small pieces and then join them to make a products. This techniques is commonly used for pen stand, lights etc.
The cluster has average level of skills and designs are age old, so there is a urgent need for design intervention and skill upgrading.
recommendation and remedial solutions:> new designs and techniques to make them.> technical training of craftsman.> exposure of craftsman to completive products from north east.> participation in nation and state level exhibitions to understand requirement of end users.

2. carving & engravingthe other method of craftsmanship is to carve or engrave on complete bamboo piece. It requires very fine sense of craftsmanship and understanding of material.
This stage requires good quality bamboo, good for carving work and skill of sculpture.Pen stand, flower pot and wall decorative items are few favorite products of craftsman for this process.
recommendation and remedial solutions:> skill development for bamboo sculpting.> training program for skill development.> workstation for carving work.

Since only one family has a retail outlet in Patna, most of the units sell their products through them. Mr Ram Keval, owner of store place order to smaller units and collects finished products on weekly/ monthly basis depending on demand.
There is no defined packaging and branding of products. No brand name. Its all sold on utility basis.
the sale is done through retail store or by participating in exhibition in state or in other states like IItF Delhi.

01. Design anD aesthetics
Bamboo products in naubatpur cluster are either imported from other states or copied from various sources. Bamboo products were mainly used as basket, jali etc in Bihar unlike north eastern states.
so there is no relation in two designs, also designs are age old and does not go with modern trends.
also esthetics is very mixed and does not gel with eachother.Itneedtoberedefinedforstandard design and international look.
02. Branding
Branding virtually does not exist, as mainly only one family is involved in retail the products and sell through their retail store or by participating in Exhibitions.
So the units in cluster are not at all aware about brand name, Logo design and branding. Even the cluster as a whole does not have a good presence in market.
Though branding for units is required but before that proper brand strategy is required for the cluster to get initial recognitions.

sWat analysis
strength. proximity to state capital patna gives more opportunities.
. well connected with rail and road network
. education level of few unit owner is good in some cases, se they set bench marks.
. exposure to national market of few units.
. all units are part of one community in same village and has very good equation.
. good skill set of few units.
. cluster level understanding is better.
. well connected with upendra maharathi Institute.
Weakness.Dependency on old designs.
. lack of good skilled craftsman in cluster.
. bamboo craft is secondary profession for many units makes it less important.
. no brand image of cluster in state.
. only one unit has retail outlet and makes user interaction less.
. lack of technical knowledge amongst craftsman.
. poor quality/ no infrastructure increases production cost.
Opportunities. Being first cluster in state it has potential to lead in the category if improve quality and designs.
.Potential for locally developed tools like pealing, burning tools, cutting machines.
. Finding alternative bamboo family for better products.
. good scope for branding and labelling design
. Packaging design specifically for bamboo products from bamboo waste to make it part of branding and unique in segment.
. Assembly line, Work station designs to increase efficiency and addressing ergonomic issues.
threat. old product designs are the most serious issue and lack of new relevant designs can lead to complete wipeout of cluster.
. serious lack of r&D will make units dependent on old technologies and designs, eventually old designs will not let units demand good prices.
. If the margins/ prices continue to be thin many units will not opt bamboo products as primary profession.
. Being a skill based industry, lack of skilled craftsman can pose a serious threat to industry.
. ergonomic issues are being ignored completely and it can have severe effects on craftsman’s health.

to address all their need and opportunities on cluster level the approach can be in phases as following:
1. short-term interventions2. long-term interventions
these improvisations could happen at individual as well as group level. these interventions can come in various ways as schemes, awareness programs and upgrading of the set-ups itself. a phase-wise improvisation of the units will lead to better productivity and hence better results. the design clinic has a huge role to play for making these units understand the purpose and importance of such interventions.

shOrt-term interventiOns
traInIng program: Specific skill development workshops, training camps and courses can enhance the level of workmanship of the craftsman.
tool & equIpment: Improvement in existing tools and equipment will lead to less fatigue and better product.
cross-InDustry Job: since all units are part of same clan, they can work as one cluster one industry method, where they can work collectively and make different products but sell collectively to increase productivity.
awareness oF schemes: There are lot of financial schemes floated by the government which can be used by these units with proper knowledge of the same.
InFrastructure Improvement: there could be small improvements in the infrastructure of the unit as improving the height of workstation, proper lighting, storage solutions etc. which can result in improved productivity of the unit with lesser fatigue for the workers.
marKetIng: proper approach to the market will lead them to improve their product offering. It will also help them know the Dna that their product should have to compete with other products in same category.
DesIgn anD branDIng: there could be designing of packaging to improve product status in market. It could also happen as a partial addition or improvement of an existing product.
lOng-term interventiOns
research & Development: Efforts to develop new processes, tools and strategies could result in better returns. this could happen at micro and macro level which could be supported by the units themselves.
branding of cluster: Being a new cluster in state, it can be branded and developed as bamboo cluster for the state. It is possible with a sharp and focused long term govt policy to ensure the implementation of scheme.
the prominent govt institutions like umsas can participate and make sure the continuous progress of cluster. similar model of north east bamboo development can be followed here as well.
sustainable income: It is very important to generate sustainable income from the craft, though it is possible by good designs, relevant market and by making a manufacturing cluster in village.
most of the families involved works for other income sources also, It is important to generate sustainable income for the units by implementing relevant schemes.
