Before setting up the unit, key personnel took training at the Hand-made Paper Institute of the Khadi Gramudyog at Pune. After housing the equipment required in a well-designed structure created for the project, this core group trained the rural women who are now doing their job with aplomb! The hand-made paper is manufactured from cotton rags treated with eco-friendly additives and dyes. This paper is either sold in sheet-form or in the varied forms of attractive products like gift-wrappers, bags, envelopes, boxes, wiro-bound diaries and much else. Corporates can avail of envelopes, memo-pads, writing pads or gift hampers, diaries for distribution to privileged clients pre-festival or during corporate events.

The products are available at exclusive outlets at Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune and also at the Parijnan Foundation® hubs in Bengaluru, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune and Karla.

The main manufacturing unit is supported by a paper conversion unit at Shirali and this too is run entirely by women!
