Management


Guiding the subject ship with its acuity of vision and strategic direction is the company's top management team that perfectly characterizes the thought:

 

 

When they heal the Earth they heal represents the spirit, the reason and the relevance of the Vasudha Project-the massive organic farming programme run by subject. The project aims to grow clean and eco-friendly cotton to produce a clean cotton garment, spread environmental sensibilities amongst people, generate direct/ indirect employment and ensure the farmers' welfare.

 

·       Project Overview


Vasudha is Hindi for The Earth. The Project has its roots in village Karhi, about 80 kms from Indore city in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The project has grown multifold since its inception. In the year 1998, when it began, it covered the land area of 4000 acres. Today it is covers a total 22000 acres of farmland. Experts like agricultural scientists, technical consultants and extension supervisors regularly monitor farming activities and guide the farmers on complete waste management, recycling and adopting better farming practices. They train the farmers on preparing natural fertilizers, human and animal health care and pest management.

 

·       Challenges

Project Vasudha is a success story despite many overwhelming odds. Some of the crippling challenges it has continually faced are lack of infrastructural facilities such as road, water and electricity; poor distribution of rainfall due to deforestation; soil erosion; lack of irrigation facilities; non-availability of market place for reasonably priced organic products; misguidance by insecticide, GMS, fertilizer and agro input industries.

·       Social Work

 

At Pratibha, a deep concern for the poor and the deprived is mirrored not only through one or two but a series of activities that have been a part of its success drive. The company achieves this by being a sole provider through various self-run projects, as a partner of other organizations and as facilitator to various institutions through procurement of funds, technical support, staff training, emergency relief and administrative assistance wherever necessary to achieve the pre- determined activities.

 

Expansion Plan

Given its multiple usage, there is an increasing demand for Terry Towels in the textile market, which is not matched by an adequate supply. This unmatched proportion of demand and supply has given rise to a vacuum, especially in the markets of Europe and USA.

To tap this huge market potential, Pratibha is going for multi-crore expansion in its capacity by investing in a new Terry Towel Project. After completion, it will be among the top three Terry Towel manufacturing plants in India. The company plans to further enhance its capacity to be among the top 10 manufacturers of Terry Towels in the world. The new project will bring employment to nearly 2000 people and indirect employment to nearly 20000 people.The plan is divided into two phases:

Phase 1

Phase 2

To ensure the continuous and uninterrupted production, the hi-tech Terry Towel plant of Pratibha will operate on a multi fuel device with combined heat and power system. The device is designed to work on gas and is highly energy efficient, maintenance- free and, over and above, pollution-free. This reinforces Pratibha's commitment towards saving the environment and providing pollution- free air to its employees.
