History: JHARKHAND 12
An, abundance of fossil remains and prehistoric artifacts in some places of Jharkhand point
to the possibility that the transformation of homo erectus to homo sap/ens took place in the
Chotanagpur region. Stone axes and other tools of early civilizations date back to over 3000
years. In the 6th or 7th century BC - the era of the epic Mahabharata-the "Kikat" Pradesh
mentioned in the Rig Veda,was located somewhere in the
Parasnath Hills in Giridih district, Jharkhand.
This enormous wealth of past times, civilized existence,
human societies and their cultural patterns, survive in
caves, monuments, rock-art in shelters (petrographs)-and it
is open for the world to explore.
Jharkhand : Repository of one of India's Richest
Ethnic Cultures
The cultural mosaic of Jharkhand was dreamt about, shaped
and polished by generations of communities, which have
inhabited this land since time immemorial.
From the legendary Asurs and Santhals, to the Banjara,
Bihor, Chero, Gond, Ho, Khond, Lohra, Mai Pahariya,
Munda, Oraon, Kol or Kawar-over thirty-two tribal groups
(28 % of the total population of the state), have left their impression on the culture of the
RD&TDC | DC(H)
region. And with them, were the cross-cultural influences of local non-tribal communities
and successive waves of Buddhism and Jainism, Mughal rule and the reign of the Hindu
emperors of Bengal.

RANCHI :CAPITAL OF THE JHARKHAND
The name Ranchi is derived from the previous name of the Oraon village at the same site, Archi.
"Archi" derives from the Oraon word for bamboo grove or stave. According to legend, after an
altercation with a spirit, a farmer beat the spirit with his bamboo stave. The spirit shouted archi,
archi, archi and vanished. Archi became Rachi, which became Ranchi.[4] One of the historically
significant neighborhoods of Rachi is Doranda ('duran' '????' means song and 'daah' '?? ?' means
water in the Mundari language). Doranda lies between the Hinoo (Bhusur) & Harmoo Rivers,
where the civil station, treasury and church established by the British Raj were destroyed by
rebel forces during the Sepoy Mutiny.The present Purani (old) Ranchi marks the site of the old
village of Archi.
CLIMATE
Although Ranchi has a humid subtropical climate, its location and the forests surrounding it
combine to produce the unusually pleasant climate for which it's known. Its climate is the
primary reason why Ranchi was once the summer capital of the undivided State of Bihar and was
designated a preferable "hill station". Summer temperatures range from 20 °C to 42 degrees,
winter temperatures from 0 °C to 25 degrees. December and January are the coolest months,
with temperatures dipping to the freezing point in some areas. The annual rainfall is about 1430
mm (56.34 inches). From June to September the rainfall is about 1,100 mm. The Köppen
Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfa"(Humid Subtropical Climate).
RD&TDC | DC(H)
GEOGRAPHY
Ranchi lies at 23°21'N 85°20'E.Its municipal area is 175.12 square kilometres, and its average
elevation is 651 m above sea level. Ranchi is located in the southern part of the Chota Nagpur
plateau, which is the eastern section of the Deccan plateau. Ranchi is known as the "City of
Waterfalls" because of its numerous waterfalls, the most well known of which are Dassam Falls,
Hundru Falls, Jonha Falls, Hirni Falls and Panchghagh Falls. The Subarnarekha river and its
tributaries constitute the local river system. The channels Kanke, Rukka and Hatia have been
dammed to create reservoirs that supply water to the majority of the population. Ranchi has a
hilly topography and its dense tropical forests a combination that produces a relatively
moderate climate compared to the rest of the state.
DEMOGRAPHICS
As per latest 2011 India census,Ranchi city has a population of 1,073,440, making it the 37th
largest urban city in India and third largest city in Jharkhand after Jamshedpur and Dhanbad.
Males constitute 51.3% of the population and females 48.7%.Ranchi is the second most
populous district of Jharkhand after dhanbad. Ranchi city has an average literacy rate of
87.68% (census 2011), higher than the national average of 74.04%: male literacy is 92.48%,
and female literacy is 82.48%. Owing to the rising employment opportunities and opening of
numerous regional and state level offices, banks, and FMCG companies, the city witnessed a
rapid influx of employment seeking migrants. As per a study done by ASSOCHAM in late 2010,
Ranchi was the highest employment generating Tier-III city in India with a share of 16.8%,
followed by Mangalore and Mysore.

WOOD CRAFT IN JHARKHAND
Once a dense forest area, Jharkhand with the
abundance of wood, resulted in the use this for
creating variety of wood articles for household
requirements. The artisans of the region were
involved in beautifully designing different articles of
household use. These include door panels, boxes
and windows besides wooden spoons etc. These
carved and designed articles are beautiful and has
good market both in India and abroad.
The wood crafts of Jharkhand form one of the most

significant art forms in the state. Earlier, the state of
Jharkhand had plenty of forest land, which gave a
massive supply of wood. This led to the large scale
use of wood in making a variety of articles of daily
use.
A great variety of wood crafts in Jharkhand are made
by the people of Jharkhand, which exhibit a blend of
beauty and utility. the items are mostly of daily use,
but the beautiful designs that they showcase make
RD&TDC | DC(H)
them pieces of art. The different shapes and sizes of

Jharkhand wood crafts that they produce include
things as mundane as boxes and the panels of doors.
The boxes as well as the panels exhibit wonderful

patterns carved out of hard wooden surface.
Windows made of wood are also included in the list of
items that the tribal groups of the state of

Jharkhhand produce. The people of jharkhand state
are invilved in different types of wood crafts of
Jharkhand. These carvings require a great deal of
skill. The wooden articles are quite in demand within
as well as outside the country of India.
However, the recognition that the people of

Jharkhand get for the labor they put in producing
wood crafts at Jharkhand is not sufficient. This is due
to the lack of market strategies of the tribal people.
The wooden article that are produce by the tribal
population of the state need to be promoted for the
economic and social improvement of this
impoverished lot.
16

SESSION
The workshop was designed with a focus on maximizing discussion amongst the artisan's
related to current trends, market influence with an individual and group work keeping Product
feasibility in mind. During the workshop various problem arises related quality, sales,
Marketing, Product feasibility & Design related issue. It was very interactive and stepwise
product assessment with maximum Design & Technological Intervention module.
THE FINDINGS: the skill level of the artisans

Ranchi is a capital of Jharkhand.The Wood Craft workshop was
supposed to happen in Shantinagar, Ranchi which is
around 10 km from the Railway station. Ranchi has very
near distance from kolkata which generally takes
approx. 7 hrs travailling time by bus or train.
After visiting the place my first finding was not so impressive in
respect of workshop venue and thought for possible areas. But
when met with the lively group of artisans with a mix of almost
all age groups then I felt confident to start the project with
positive attitude. These people have been practicing wood
craft since quite some time now. Mostly the artisans are from
the deprived strata of the society. This craft is a way of finding
new earning opportunities for themselves and their family.
RD&TDC | DC(H)
These artisans they buy the raw materials from the local
market itself.
The artisans make products for their own consumption and
that can be either sold in the local market. Most of the artisans
are daily wage workers and only work on the craft after winding
up their daily needs.
The whole idea of this workshop was to tap this local talent and
come up with ways so that it can be further used for the benefit
of the local community. My first step was to evaluate the skill
level of the artisans and as according to their skill levels come
up with product ideas which are best suited for the market. The
various findings regarding their skill levels are
The skill level of the artisans was about average. They were not
used to do various intricate techniques which have become so
much a part and parcel of Wood craft worldwide. They were not
equipped with minute craft techniques.
Based on the skill level of the artisans I propose to do a product
diversification into other lifestyle accessories such as
coasters, candle stands, table lamp, tray, wall clocks and show piece products etc. These
products can be derived using the same techniques that these artisans have, with the main
focus being on finishing techniques, which these artisans lack. As Ranchi has a proximity to
Kolkata, these products can be easily sold there and the artisans can make a good living out of it.
18
ARTISANS PROFILE AND SELECTION
The workshop brought together about 30 artisans from nearby location of Shantinagar, Ranchi
associated with SHGs, artisans associated with this craft & craftsmen having inclination toward
the wood craft.
Different Artisans who were involved in Wood craft and required further training, had been given
preference in the workshop. Also, the few others artisans having inclination toward the craft
included in the workshop.

PRODUCTION PROCESS
1. RAW MATERIAL SIZING

Gambhar wood is selected and prepared as per size used in
the products. The outer portion of the raw woods is removed
to get inner pale white portion of the trunk which is usually
soft and light by nature. Further, the extracted wood is cut
according to the sizes which are required for the product
development.
2. PLAINING OF WOOD SURFACE (RANDHA)

Wood is further, kept on plainer (Randha Machine) to get
plain and regular surface. It makes the surface of Gambhar
wood soft and smooth which ultimately used to develop
products. With the help of the Randha machine, thickness of
the wood is also decided as per the product design.
3. MEASUREMENTS
RD&TDC | DC(H)
Measurement is taken as per the size required for the design

on wood. Right angled scale and measuring tape is required
for true measurements.
4. TRACING OF SKETCH ON WOOD

Drawn sketch is traced out on wood after selecting the
proper size of the wood as per the design. Tracing is done

using tracing paper and Yellow carbon sheet which provides
the impression on wood.
5. CUTTING THROUGH MACHINE

Wood with design impression is placed in cutting machine in which wood is cut and extract the
design. In this process, traditional cutting machine or electronic cutting machine is used to cut
with fine edge.
6. EDGE FINISHING
The sharp edge of the cut component is further smoothen using bigger cutting file or smaller
cutting file required as per the size of the component. In this process, proper roundness of the
edge is required which provides the finished look.
25
7. CARVING
Carving is done to get the surface texture and aesthetic appearance of the components which is
ultimately used in product assembling. In this process, small cutting patti is taken to do carving
on wood.
8. SANDING
Sanding process is done to get fine quality surface which also provides fine look of the
component. To get fine surface, different types of sand paper of no. 60, 80, 120. Sand paper
(no. 60 & 80) is used to smoothen the hard surface and sand paper no. 120 is often used to get
finished surface.
9. ASSEMBLING
All components are finally assembled to get the proper form of the product. In this process, nail,
screw, adhesive and other suitable materials are required to get final look of the product.
10. TOUCHWOOD FINISHING

In this process, touch wood paint is applied on developed products which finally provide the
finished appearance of the product. Touch wood finish is important for every wood products
RD&TDC | DC(H)
which helps to protect them from damage through external agents.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY
APPROACH OF THE ENTIRE WORKSHOP

The entire workshop focused on the aspect of making these artisans aware of the existing
design and trends of various markets. Shantinagar in Ranchi (Jharkhand) being a remote
town not has much access to global trends which the markets in the metros have. The idea
was not just to come out with new designs but to educate them about different market and
changes in trends due to different location and socio-economic condition, as well as the
Socio and demographic segmentation. Many materials have been explored to come up with
unique and attractive product combining different color, size & shapes. This approach will
enable the artisans to grow further by incorporate Design, Technology to innovate or
create unique product which can be marketed at right place with required quality and in
given time.
CONCEPT & DESIGN/SKETCH

The design concepts were drawn keeping in mind the local market as well as season wise
.Also some of the design had been explored for global market keeping in mind the most of
the wood products supplied by India to Global market. The designs were kept simple and
elegant with use of minimalistic & simplified form, so as to give it a contemporary feel.
According to Research and development process for designing on wood products, different
RD&TDC | DC(H)
theme were taken i.e., Marine life (Fish ), chess board and tribal art to get suitable ideas &
concepts to develop various traditional and contemporary products which ultimately help
to provide new designs to the market.
