Our Factory and plantation is in the admist of nature. It is situated in the western ghats in the state of Maharashtra at a height of about 600mtrs, in a small village called Shedani. It has a very high rainfall which supports the catchment of a dam nearby. These natural surroundings help for a very good growth of bamboos.
Most of Shedani's population is that of farmers. The main crop is paddy (rain-fed) as no means of irrigation are available. Training them in bamboo cultivation, harvesting and use of treated bamboo has created new job opportunities. Thus, stopping them from migrating to nearby towns and cities for jobs.
After selecting 4 local species, of bamboo many products evolved starting with furniture like chairs, seeties, beds, tables, sofa sets etc. This enabled us getting used to handling bamboo.
Some products like baskets and handicrafts were also produced using the weaving technique.
Bamboo, after treatment becomes weather resistant and durable. certain species can directly be used for producing smaller structures such as, cow sheds, green houses, temporary shelter etc.
It was decided to use the uniqueness of bamboo, which is its strength. A process for moulding bamboo with modern resins was established. This eliminated most of the drawbacks such as size variation, decay and susceptibility of pests a decay.
The products, thus moulded were uniform in size, shape and colour.
