| Abstract |
| This article presents an account of the progress made by CG & CRI
in developing some appropriate technologies for the small and tiny
scale pottery industries of the country. Special stress has been laid in
these technologies on the meaningful use of low grade raw materials
in the manufacture of rural sanitaryware, unglazed flooring and
facing tiles and low maturing white stonewares with matching
glazes. In addition, an energy efficient low thermal mass down
draught kiln was also designed and developed in this programme for
reducing firing cost. Transfer of these technologies through trainingcum-
demonstration programmes has been described. |
