The jute industry and how it affects India's storage of wheat and foodgrains
04/13/2012
A law from the 1980's to protect the jute industry based in Kolkata and jute workers is now hampering the storage of wheat before the monsoon season in 2012, as the jute bag manufacturers cannot cope with demand. Jute bags are the sole storage bags mandated under the law, and only 20% of bags can be made of plastic materials under legislation from the 1980's. This risks damaging some of the harvested wheat. Make shift storage facilities only complicate the problem further. It highlights the problems India faces in modernizing its economy with bureaucratic and political inaction.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
