DC Powered Tulsi Mala Bead Making Device by IIT Delhi

The device is employed to make beads (size range 3 -14 mm) from various stems (size range 6-16mm) by performing turning, drilling and cutting of each bead. These beads are mainly used for making of malas, rosaries, and other decorative purposes. Currently, it has been used in the rural areas of Rajasthan, Kerala, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Demand-Driven Technology: Various shapes of beads are made from the stems of Holy Basil (Tulsi), Neem, Sandalwood etc., in many villages of India as there is a good demand and consumption of malas throughout the year. Though artisans had devised their own conventional arrangements for turning, drilling, polishing and cutting beads from the stem, the process was cumbersome, which resulted in low productivity and inconsistent quality of beads. As per the need and demand for developing a low-cost device to carry out effective operations with high productivity and consistent quality of the beads, an ergonomically designed bead-making device was developed at RuTAG IIT Delhi. It has been reported that the artisans are satisfied working on the improved device. Collaborated NGO: Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation, Bharatpur, Rajasthan.
