Usually the term is use to traditional core of making goods. The individual artisanship of the items is a rife criterion much(prenominal) items much feel cultural and/or religious signifi commodece. Items made by peck doing or machines are not handicraft goods. Usually, what distinguishes the term handicraft from the frequently utilise class arts and crafts is a matter of intent handicraft items are intended to be employ, worn, etc, having a shoot for beyond simple decoration.Handicraft goods are generally considered more traditional work, in traditional non-industrial and transitional societies created as a somewhat more necessary part of daily life, while arts and crafts implies more of a hobby pursuit and a demonstration/perfection of a creative technique. In Britain in the deep nineteenth century, even so, the Arts and Crafts Movement was not a matter of hobbies, hardly of creating useful as considerably as creative work for people, using indwelling materials and traditional techniques. In practical terms, the categories suck up a spectacular deal of overlap. . 2 HANDICRAFTS IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT The history of handicrafts in playing areas generally now comprising India and Pakistan is an middle-aged saga. To peep in to the traces of Indian handicrafts we need to go back up al well-nigh 5000 historic period. The first references to handicrafts in the Indian subcontinent can be erect from the Indus Valley Civilization (3000 BC-1700 BC). The craft traditi on in India has revolved close to religious beliefs, local needs of the comm binglenessrs, as well as the special needs of the patrons and royalty, a great with an bosom for foreign and domestic trade.These craft traditions consume withstood the ravages of time and numerous foreign invasions and continue to flourish work on date owing to the assimilative nature of Indian culture and broadmindedness of the handicraftsmen to accept and use new ideas. The Indus vale civilization had a rich craft tradition as well as a in mellow spirits leg of technical excellence in the field of pottery making, sculpture (metal, stone pit and terracotta), jewelry, weaving, etc. A make out of material information from excavations at Harappa, Mohen-jo-daro, etc. substantiates the craft tradition of the Indus valley civilization.The craftsmen not still catered to all the local needs but surplus items were sent to ancient Arabian cultures via ancient sea routes. Handicraft is the art of creati ng products using raw and indigenous materials. It develops the skills and creative interests of students towards a particular craft or trade. The basic training provided in a specific craft prepares the students to become competent craftsmen and artists who can endure to the establishment of cottage industries, thus contributing to the economic harvest-home of the country. 2. 2. 1 STATE EMPIRESThe concept of carry was ushered by the rise of the Mauryan Empire in the 3rd century BC. It is said that during the time of Ashoka, 84,000 stupas were built in India, including the world illustrious Sanchi Stupa, which has beautiful stone carving and relief work do on it. many sculptures from Bharhut, Mathura, Amravati, Vaishali, Sanchi, etc. show female figures adorned with an array of jewelry, which continues to inspire contemporary jewelry making. The iron pillars of Vaishali (Bihar) and Delhi, created during the time of Emperor Ashoka, are a marvel in the field of metallurgy. 2. 2. 2 POST MAURYAN AGEThe period amidst the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD was a period of political ferment as a result of foreign invasions from central Asia. The impact of these intrusions can be seen in the Buddhistic sculptures from Taxila, Begram, Bamiyan, Swat valley, etc. which show a eminent degree of Greek influence. The depiction of Buddha, having curly bull and wearing draperies, until date is the result of this Greek influence. The sculpture of the Kushan king Kanishka from this period depicting him wearing welt boots and a heavy warm coat amply reflects the influence of the central Asian Culture on Indian craftsmanship.Jewelry, sculpture, tex caping tile making, leather products, metal running(a), etc. were the main handicrafts that inherited these foreign influences and assimilated them in harmony with the Indian milieu. 2. 2. 3 GUPTA AGE The Gupta (AD 320-647) age is referred to as the classical period in Indian history. The points in the field of craft include the rock cut temples of Ellora and the Ajanta murals. These murals give us a realistic view of the lifestyle of that time. The craftsmen of this period, under royal patronage excelled in jewelry making, woodcarving, sculpture, stone carving and weaving. 2. . 4 chivalric INDIA The Medieval period of Indian history in the context of handicrafts showed a marked shift from northeasterly India to the Deccan and southern parts of the country, though the handicraftsmen under the Delhi Sultanate period flourished in the field of pottery, weaving, wood carving, metal working, jewelry, etc. The contribution of the Cholas and the Vijaynagar Empire in the field of bronze sculpture, silk weaving, jewelry, temple carving is beyond parallel. The fine manikin of stone carving from central India can be seen in the form of the Khajuraho Temples, built by the Chandelas.Rich and flowery wood and stone carving can be found in medieval temple of steam drum roll at Puri in Orissa. 2. 3 LIST OF HANDICRAFT TRADES Assemblage collage in three dimensions bead ?Bone carving buffalo, camel, elephant bone carving. ?Cabinet making ?Chip carving Collage possibly involving seeds, fabric, paper, photographs and/or found objects Crochet Embossed aluminum or silver Gardening Buffalo horn carving, rhinoceros horn carving.

The Indian handicrafts industry is high gearly labour intensive cottage based industry and decentralized, being spread all over the country in rural and urban areas. Numerous artisans are engaged in crafts work on part-time basis. The industry provides employment to over six zillion artisans (including those in carpet trade), which include a bighearted number of women and people belonging to the weaker sections of the society.In addition to the high potential for employment, the sector is economically important from the point of low capital investment, high ratio of determine addition, and high potential for export and foreign exchange earnings for the country. Although exports of handicrafts appear to be sizeable, Indias section in world imports is miniscule. It is a sector that is still not completely explored from the point of view of obscure potential areas. India, a country with 28 states and 18 languages and more than 1500 dialects offers an enormous rove of handicrafts from each of the states.Major centres in Uttar Pradesh are Moradabad also known as the Peetalnagari (City of Brass), Saharanpur for its wooden articles, Ferozabad for Glass. The North Western state of Rajasthan has to offer the famous Jaipuri quilts, Bagru and Sanganer pr inted textiles and wooden and wrought iron furniture from Jodhpur. The coastal state of Gujarat comes with embroidered articles from Kutch. Narsapur in Andhra Pradesh is famous for its impale and Lace goods. But this is just now a small part of the add together product range. India offers much more. 2. 5 HANDICRAFTS CLASSIFICATIONHandicrafts are classified into both categories 1. Articles of everyday use 2. Decorative items The craftsmen use different media to ex root on their originality. The diversity of the handicrafts is ex barracked on textiles, metals precious and semi-precious, wood, precious and semi-precious stones, ceramic and glass. 2. 5. 1 TEXTILE BASED HANDICRAFTS Hand printed textiles including block and covering printing, batik, kalamkari (hand printing by pen) and bandhani (tie and die) are use in products ranging from bed-covers to sheets, dress material to upholstery and tapestry.The famous embroidered articles of silk and cotton often embellished with mirror s, shells, beads, and metallic pieces are also found in India. Embroidery is done too on leather, matt-up and velvet etc. This divide of the industry accounts for almost half a million strong employment in addition to a large number of designers, block makers, weavers and packers involved in the trade. 2. 5. 2 corpse, surface AND JEWELLERY Brass, copper, bronze, bell metals are utilize for a variety of drops and in a variety of finishes.Scintillating ornaments are available in a wide range of inventions, styles and compositions. Made from precious metals, base metals, precious and semi-precious stones these ornaments concur traditional as well as advanced(a) styles. 2. 5. 3 WOODWORK Wooden articles in India range from the ornately carved to the absolutely simple. One can find toys, furniture, decorative articles, etc. bearing the art and individuality of the craftsman. India is known particularly for its lacquered wood articles. 2. 5. 4 STONE CRAFT The intricately carved ston eware made of marble, alabaster or soapstone, etc. inlaid with semiprecious stones carry on the heritage of Indian stone crafts. 2. 5. 5 GLASS AND CERAMIC Glass and ceramic products are a fast upcoming segment in the handicrafts from India. The age-old production surgical surgical procedure of mouth-blowing the glass instills a nostalgic feeling. The varied shapes of ceramic and glass in a number of colours, would appeal to Western aesthetics while retaining the Indian touch. 2. 5. 6 CRAFT CONCENTRATION AREAS A wide range of handicrafts are produced all over Indian artmetalware / EPNS ware, wood carvings and other wooden artwares, imitation jewellery, andprinted textiles, shawls as artwares, embroidered goods, lace and lace goods, toys, dolls, crafts made of leather, lacquerware, marble crafts etc. Although it is difficult to limit a specific holding for the particular craft, the following places are listed for their particular crafts.

I reach done my project work in the Calicut tile co. In 1879 the Calicut tile co. was incorporated and the circumstance leading to the information of the partnership is narrated under. The co. was started in 1878 at feroke the town of trunk industries. The move over of the co. was Mr. Soma Sundharan Chettiyar, the great millionaire from Ceylon.And indeed association was taken over by Mr. V. S. Nadarasa Mudhaliyar from Mr. Soma Sundhara chettiyar. In 1982 the present prudence takes the co. now in that respect are 8 partners for the co. and in the main two partners are managing the co.

Couldnt spend much time with crystallise executives because of their busy schedule. * Due to absences and hesitation to run out openly by the employees it was difficult to collect dead-on(prenominal) data. CHAPTER II INDUSTRIAL PROFILE INDUSTRIAL PROFILE Shelter is one of the basic requirements of man. Clay is one of the cheapest raw materials to satisfy this basic requirement of man. For a very long time man has been using ashes for structure purpose. Clay is bas ically an administrative mineral with an exclusive property of mould ability in the presence of peeing embankments etc.After reinforcement with straw, coir, fibers, bamboo, splinters, of woods sharing. It was rather accidental observation that clay when subjected to agitateing (firing) developed red color along with high strength and stability. Development of this process led to the production of clay products. In South India the German Basel committal has performed a very important role in developing chapiter tile industry or the Mangalore variant roofing tiles. In the present scenario, roofing tiles have become a vital part of housing construction activity.By the end of 60s most of the house used roofing tiles fur their houses. The last decade of the century however showed more interest towards concrete roofs and tile market was down, however it again picked up line as decorative tile walls and pedestal tiles are in great demand now. The Latin leger tegula and its French d erivative tile mean kinda precisely a roof tile of baked clay. The English tile is less precise, for it can in addition be used of any kind of earthenware slab applied to any surface of a building.The word ceramics comes from the Greek word keramos meaning pottery it is related to an old Sanskrit root meaning to burn but was primarily used to mean burnt stuff The demand for tile is thus improving when compared to the previous days other clay products are also gaining richness in the market. However some of the tile manufacturing companies have reached saturation stage of its gross gross sales. They have to make changes in overall establishment of production and distribution to enhance the sales THE INDUSTRY IN KERALARoofing tile industry in India has an age of almost 150 years. In India Mangalore pattern roofing tile factory was first established in the year 1865 by Basel Mission (German Missionaries) who copied the pattern of French tiles as in Marseilles. However first til e factory in Kerala was set up in the year 1844 by German Missionaries and it was named as Common Wealth Trust Limited or COMTRUST. Hundreds of factories came in to existence in South West live of the country. Since then the industry has completed most one and quarter century of useful service to country.The numerous rivers and backwaters of Kerala provided cheap transport and so it is quite natural that a number of factories have opened at Kollam, Calicut, Trissur and alluva. Thus employment was generated. The abundance of clay was the other factor which contributed for rapid expansion of tile industry in this part of state A review of growth of tile industry in Kerala would suggest the following stages of development. These stages are * Period of archetypal World War * Inter war period * The post second war period Towards the end of 19th century the pioneer factory at Kollam and Calicut was established.The pros iteration of tile factories, especially in Trissur may be consider ed as the second stage in the development of tile industry in Kerala. Its considered that third stage is the period which small entrepreneurs became conscious of tincture and started introducing machineries. This is partially referable to the development of local engineering industry. As a result of mechanization could be implemented at a express rate. The factories established in the first stage of the development in Calicut district was conceived of superior spirit due to better proficient process and uality control techniques The second stage of development witnessed a rapid growth in the number of tile factories mainly in trissur district. Local availableness of quality clay and large managerial returns for the investment can be probable reasons for such a change. Their working started almost as a collage industry and not many changes has taken place as the time passed. The technological advancement that has taken place in the other industry has made no impact on the tile i ndustry.The only forward step that have taken in the replacement of mechanical process is by replacing press, which they could increase the production capacity to 2 to 2. 5 times in an average. charge that change is yet to come in Kollam district. In a large number of units intermittent kilns are still use where high rate of fuel consumption is observed. In Trissur area majority of units have started on a small scale and number of chambers of kiln are limited. But subsequent approach of revolving press has necessitated increasing the capacity and few more champers was added PROLEMS FACED BY system INDUSTRYFor the last few decades the phoner has enjoyed a very inscriptive market in the country especially in the Southern states. In olden days industry was in Kerala and South Kerala, districts of Karnataka States. However conditions have completely different now. Tile factory have mushroomed through the country with much encouragement and support from the respective Government. The old traditional markets are fast dwindling and will soon disappear altogether in the very penny-pinching future. Even manufacturing good clay-building material to cater to local markets is also having many problems.The political party has to face bang-up completion from manufactures of concrete blocks and locally available. Late rite stones which are now mechanically cut and ruined and are being sold at very low rate in the markets when compared to clay bricks. aside from these, the main critical problems faced by the industry are the non-availability of good quality clays. Moreover there are environmental and ecological problems faced by tile industry and which are bound to de-stabilize the manufacturing trading operations consequently lead to loss of production in the year to come.Firewood, the fuel required for the industry is also becoming scared with the present forest policy of the government and at present industry has to depend on plantation firewood like rub wood and other alternative fuels, for firing their kilns. The demand for roofing tile is steadily on the degrees because of the change in lifestyle of the people. While in olden days people used to construct houses by using timbers, the present tendency is to go for roofs. This has drastically alter the demand for Mangalore roofing tiles.If the industry is to survive man publicity has to be given for the products manufactured by the industry, enlightening the advantage of using Mangalore tiles over stopped concrete roofs which would have a good thermic insulation and also increase the life of these structures. While on the other hand, the industry is suffered with few problems relating to raw materials, environment etc. On the other hand there is likely to be a sag in the market for clay product brought out of industry. The situation has to be analyzed and steps taken to attend the challenges, in light of these numerous problems being controlled by the tile industry.It is necessary that, government should take steps and try to solve the problems of this industry, which is one of the labor intensive industries in India CHAPTETR III family Profile COMPANY PROFILE NAME Calicut Tile Company MANAGING PARTNER Mr. MuhammadMr. M.

The factory is situated near the Chaliyar River. All infrastructure facilities are available near the company. ORGANISATIONAL CHART CHAPTER IV incisionAL STUDIES PRODUCTION Department PRODUCTION discussion section Clay is an important raw material used for tiles the quality of tiles depends up on its clay.Therefore the clay is tested before taking it for the p roduction. There are mainly two types of clay namely formative clay and lean clay. The tested clay is thoroughly mixed by using a machine called excavator. With the help of excavator the clay is sliced. After slicing, the clay is collected using the excavator in tray called trolleys. The sliced clay is then pushed into box feeder. Box feeder consists of 3 chambers and both type of clay will be there at first two chamber and both of this is mixed along with the sand in the 3rd chamber. Then the clay is travel into pan mill.Pan mill performs the crushing of clay and grinds together the different types of clay. Here the clay is crushed well using water. Clay in the form of flakes is passed into hi speed roller one. High speed roller one is an extension of pan mill and the clay is crushed well and then it is move to the high speed roller two where the clay is crushed further and reduce the time module or small pebbles contained in the clay. Then the clay is go into de-airing pug mill and main purpose here is to remove the air marrow from the clay otherwise it would lead to breakage afterward it becomes in to a tiles.The clay is cut and passed to the press where different dice are available and the different shapes or types arise. assorted types of tile formed are roofing tiles, flooring tiles, ventilator tiles, building tiles etc. In the press where roof tiles are formed with the help of a trimmer tiles are properly shaped and finished. The slabs are rubbed with oil which is a mixture of kerosene and rice-burn oil before putting into the press so as to dice smooth. The waste clay is recycled. The name of the clay, factory trade mark etc are marked on the tiles by providing necessary impression on the dice.Now the pressed tile contains 25% of water. To reduce the water content of green tile, it is modify in the open air where natural air ios able to enter directly. drippy drying using external heating system is also rarely used. The tiles required to be drie d for near 6-7 days during summer and 10-15 during rainy season. The well dried tiles are set(p) in the chamber of Hoffman kiln for baking. The kiln consists of different layers where the tiles can be put and heat is made possible to enter into it. Fire wood is used as fuel for burning at a temperature of 800 degree.The kiln works 24 hours a day through out and even on holidays. As the temperature is reached at a required take aim in one chamber, the fixing will be moved to the next chamber. After that the chamber is cooled and emptied. The burned tiles are moved to an open place where or nearer to kiln yard. Then it is moved to the stock yard where tiles are stocked. incompatible grade or classes are given to the tiles according to their quality and they are stored separately. It is from the stock yard, the tiles are dispatched according to the order placed. Here comes the end of the production process.PAN MILL PROCUREMENT OF TESTED trunk DESPATCHING AGAINST ORDER screen AND S TOCKING SPACE FOR DRYING HIGH SPEED ROLLER DE-AIING PUG MILL TILE FURNISHING TILE PRESSER BOX FEEDERS CLAY EXCAVATION ROLLER I ROLLER II KILN CHAMBER PRODUCTION PROCESS CHART corrupt DEPARTMENT PURCHASE DEPARTMENT Purchase department is one of the important departments in CTC. This department deals with 6the bargain for of raw material such as purchase of clay fire woods, store good etc and the main function of the department is to invite tenders and quotation for purchasing raw material.Tenders are invited and they select those tenders which quotes the suitable terms for the product. They just do not verify the impairment of raw material but also ensure about the quality of the product purchased. The main profession of the purchasing manger is to Ensure continuous availability of raw material so that production doesnt get stopped To reduce ultimate cost of finished product To ensure quality of raw material and there by quality of production Now we can look some of the importan t raw material which is purchased by the purchase department. CLAY Clay is one of the most important raw materials used for production.There are mainly two types of clay, plastic clay and lean clay. Before purchasing clay, purchase department takes the specimen of clay and test it using in different methods, like sand content test, burning test, and by the usual observations.
