PROJECT REPORT

 

SALT INDUSTRY IN INDIA:

 

India is the third largest Salt producing Country in the World after China and USA with Global annual production being about 230 million tones. The production of salt during 1947 was 1.9 million tones which have increased tenfold to record 20 million tones during 2005. In a very short period of time sufficiency was achieved (in 1953) and made a dent in the export market. Since then, the country has never resorted to imports. Exports touched an all time high of 1.6 million in the year 200L Since then, the country has never resorted to imports. Exports touched an all time high of 1.6 million in the year 2007. Salt manufacturing activities are carried out in the coastal states of Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Orissa, West Bengal Goa and hinter land State of Rajasthan. Among these States only Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan produces salt surplus to their requirement. These three states produce about 73%, 15% and 12% respectively of the total salt produced in the country and cater to the requirement of all the salt deficit and non-salt producing states.

 

Private sector plays a dominant role contributing over 95% of the salt production, while the public sector contributes about 2-3%. The co-operative sector contributes about 8% whereas the small-scale sector [less than 10 acres) accounts for nearly 40% of the total salt production in the country.

 

Gujarat provides land on lease to the individuals/ companies for manufacture of salt and salt based chemicals. Gujarat accounts for 77% of the total sale produced in India. Salt Industry is labour intensive. It is estimated that an average of 1.09 lacs labours are employed in industry. In the state, salt is produced in Kutch, Surendranagar, Bhavnagar, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Porabander, Patan, Anand, Valsad, Bharuch, Navsari, Surat and Banaskantha District.

 

About 70000 small salt Producers, locally known as Agariyas, are engaged in salt production activity in Little Rann of Kutch [LRK). Agariyas work in highly exploitative and subhuman conditions; long term exposure to the salt and hostile desert environment makes them extremely susceptible to various health hazards. Conditions are further worsened by their lack of access to basic amenities like drinking water, shelter, protective clothing education and healthcare.

 

 

MAJOR SALT PRODUCING CENTERS:

 

Sea water is an inexhaustible source of salt. Salt production along the coast is limited by weather and soil conditions. The major salt producing centres are as below:

PRODUCTS:

 

The relationship between salt and human exists since time immemorial. With the highest number of primary consumers on the globe, salt is an essential commodity for human with any type food cooking habits. Apart from serving to add taste to food, salt is an important raw material for production of range of chemicals. Salt is physiologically absolutely necessary for human life, but in the past, prior to the industrial revolution, the known mineral salt sources were limited so much so that its supply was a critical demographic power factor for most communities, until industrial means of extraction from brines were devised. It was only available as visible and exposed rock outcrops in arid regions or as dried out salt cake on the shores of some seas and salt lakes. It is probably this, more than any other reason that many of the great civilizations first developed near deserts and desert climates.

 

Salt for human consumption is produced in different forms: unrefined salt (such as sea salt), refined salt (table salt), and iodized salt. It is a crystalline solid, white, pale pink or light gray in color, normally obtained from sea water or rock deposits. Edible rock salts may be slightly grayish in color because of mineral content.

 

Because of its importance to survival, salt has often been considered a valuable commodity during human history. However, as salt consumption has increased during modern times, scientists have become aware of the health risks associated with high salt intake, including high blood pressure in sensitive individuals. Therefore, some health authorities have recommended limitations of dietary sodium, although others state the risk is minimal for typical western diets.

 

Gujarat is the leading producer of salt (59.8%) in the country. The coastal areas of the state have ideal conditions for salt production.

 

The quality is superior and the yield is more (122 tones/ ha). At high tide, when level of the sea rises, sea water is led through channels to the salt pans where after the evaporation of water, salt is left as a residue. The salt works are sited at a number of places along the coast. Mithapur near Okha Port is the leading producer. Porbandar, Bedi Port, Kuda, Lavanpur, Bhavnagar, Kandla, Dharsana, Charvada and Bulsar are other important producing centers.

 

On the eastern fringe of the Little Rann, the brine is pumped to the surface and evaporated for salt. Kharaghoda is the leading centre of salt industry of the Rann. Here magnesium chloride is obtained as a by-product.

 

 

The Production process for Salt:

 

The type of salt produced in India and Gujarat use solar evaporation method. The saline brine of 4 to 16 BC densities obtained from either sub-soil or seawater is exposed to fractional crystallization using solar energy. During the process the density of brine increase from 4-16 to 25 BC. Beyond 20 BC density the salt starts precipitating from the brine in the sequence of calcium, magnesium and sodium in the form of sulphate and chloride. When brine density reaches 25 BC finally sodium chloride (Nacl) or salt precipitates in the form of crystals.

 

In Gujarat salt production activity is carried out in the Little Rann of Kutch (LRI$ and along the entire coastline. Based on the location of the salt production the salt is identified as inland salt and marine salt. The marine salt production with contribution of B0-850/o dominates the salt production in Gujarat. The inland salt is produced in LRK using sub-soil brine, while marine salt is produced using either sub-soil or seawater. All three salt varieties i.e. Vadagaru, Karkatch and Poda can be produced at both the location; however the Vadagaru and Poda variety has advantage under inland condition, while Karkatch salt is easy to produce under marine conditions. In the present scenario, more than700/o of the total inland salt production is Vadagaru while entire marine salt units produce Karkatch variety.

 

The entire process of production is handled by the Agarias. The preparation of Paatas, filling brine and the harvesting of the crop are done by agarias. The Agarias are traditionally associated with the salt manufacturing. Both the earthwork labourers and the agarias are migratory in nature, arriving at the salt works at the beginning of the salt manufacturing season (October- NovemberJ every year and going back to their villages to take up work in the agriculture operations. 0nce the rain sets in July, the labour required for earthwork and the agarias are employed every season on a contract or daily wage or piece rate basis. The labour required for sales and dispatch are also employed on contract or daily wage basis as and when required for filling weighing stitching and loading the bags Into wagons or trucks.

 

 

Production process of Inland Salt

 

The LRK is a piece of land formed due to evacuation of the sea over a long period of time and hence is a depression. The region remains submerged under the water collected from the sea tide and westward flowing rivers till the end of month of August or mid September. By the end of September, the In the inland salt production process, the season for salt production lasts for about nine months in a year, from September to May. At the beginning of the season the salt producers, normally a pair of agaria (husband and wife) scout for the suitable location of land for making saltpan - a site of 10 acres. Usually, preference is given to previous year location unless they have experienced shortage of brine at that site. Following this, they shift their family to the Rann with the ration for a month. Exceptions are found in parts of Dhranghadhra,

 

Halvad and Maliya Taluka where the salt workers do not shift their families due to proximity of the saltpans to the villages. Only male members operate the saltpan activity leaving family in the village. Once they reach the Rann, they erect a temporary make shift type of shelter in which they stay for B to 10 months. After reaching there with family the pre-production preparation starts.

 

 

Stage- 1: The Pre-production

 

The entire pre-production stage is labour intensive work, where every member of the family has to participate. The labour in pre-production stage for inland salt production is higher than the marine salt production as they have to remove the mud and prepare the saltpan washed by the water during monsoon.

 

The pre-production process for salt production in inland comprise of two steps.

 

1. Digging of well and installation of pump

2. Preparation of saltpan and condensers.

 

The selection of site and installation of pumps are done solely by the male members. The site selection is done using own experience and knowledge. The "non-scientific" approach for the site selection for brine well increases the risk of failure of well and the salt crop. It is observed that most of the Agarias in the region have lost a lot of money in failed wells and early deterioration of pumps. Due reducing availability of quality brine, the Agarias are required to select fresh sites every alternate year. The Agarias leave coverings or marks (poles plugged into drill pipes) over the well sites at the end of the harvest in May, to facilitate easy excavation in the following year. The wells, which are source for brine, are 6 to 9 mts. in depth and 3 mts. in diameter. Usually, the well is kept close to the salt pan, but many a times in the event of non-availability of suitable quality brine, requires well digging at a distance of 1 to 1.5 Km. In this situation the supervision work of the Agaria increases a lot. On an average each well yields 7,000 to 16,000 ltr of water in a day.

 

The second step is that of preparing the land for laying salt pans and condensers at the sites, which involves digging up the land near the pump, clearing plots and loosening the soil mainly by hiring tractors and labourers. Once land is ready for laying saltpan, the reservoir cum condensers, locally known as Gamdus are made by bunding the land. The number of condensers varies depending up on the density of brine. Usually, for a site of 10 acres, typically 8 to 10 Gamdus are made adjacent to one another. Subsequently, a saltpan with similar bunds is prepared near the network of gamadus, which serves as a crystalliser and is locally known as Paatas. Later on a channel is laid to connect the entire work, pump- Gamdu-Paatas. The entire network is prepared in 10-15 days for which about 150 person days are required. The labour demand increases during site preparation stage. The Agarias use their "personal" contacts in nearby villages to get labourers. In fact, Agarias and a set of labourers often form teams and work together.

 

During the process of preparation of the site, simultaneously arrangements are made for the grass locally called "Zipta" that is used for keeping on the inside of the saltpan to keep the water free from dust and also for developing initial crystals. The Zipta are either collected from the Rann or purchased. Initially about one tractor load of grass is required for 10 acres of plot. This glass is kept on the bunds and inside the pan by women and children.

 

 

Stage-2: Production Stage

 

Once the Gamdus and Paatas are made, small quantity of brine is let into the paatas and the bed is puddled and tamped to make it hard. Women labourers dominate this activity, which is locally termed as paglee and they use their bare foot for this purpose. The tamping is done several times till the bed is hard and almost impermeable. It was observed that the saltpan in Santalpur region has hard soil and hence the paglee operation is minimized as co*pare to Surendranagar and Dhrangdra districts. The entire process from seleition of sites, installing pumps to the - hardening of the saltpan bed lasts for 40 to 45 days. After completion of this operation the saltpan is ready for preparation of salt, which is a tedious and time-taking operation requiring close monitoring by the Agarias. At least in the inland salt production areas, these operations are labour intensive and no mechanization has been attempted. The pumped brine is led by gravity through the channels to the Gamdus. The first Gamdu is filled up and the brine is allowed to concentrate by gradual evaporation. Brine flows from one Gamdu to another, through small inlets that ensures slow movement of brine. Thus, each Gamdu possesses brine of different concentration. The process of filling up all the Gamdus takes about a month. During this process of filling up the Gamdus the pump sets are run for 24 hours daily and the brine of 24BC from the Gamdus are then fed into the saltpan or Paatas.

 

For production of Vadagaru type of salt the Paatas is first filled to a depth of about 4-5 inches for evaporation and deposition of salt. For the first salt clusters to form, the Agarias immerse Zipta grass stems, which are known differently in different areas, in the saltpan. The salt clusters are formed around the stem. Brine of slightly lower concentration is charged into the pans to keep the density 25 to 26 BC and the level of 6 inches of brine is maintained in the pan. The first salt crystals appear after about 15 days of feeding the 24 BC brine.

 

After another 10 days, the crust formed is broken up and raked by a wooden rake, called Dantal to prevent the formation of flakes of salt and to obtain the large grained crystals. When the salt is under formation every alternate day it is raked by means of wooden rake and on the next day smoothened by Pavdi to prevent conglomeration of salt crystals. This process goes on for about 45 days after which the supply of brine is stopped and the density of water is allowed to Increase up to 30 BC. The bittern or mother liquor is drained out into open spaces of vacant Gamdus. Many Agarias recharge the Paatas even after this stage to allow the crystals to grow further till about the middle of March.

 

For production of Poda type of salt the process is modified slightly during initial stage of crystal formation. In preparation of Poda type of salt, the water from the Paatas is drained out after formation of 1 to 2 inch of crystal layer is continued. This process of producing salt over salt layer helps keeping the salt crystal clean and white that helps gaining higher market price.

 

The production of Karkatch type of salt is faster than other two types. It simply requires charging 2 to 3 inch depth of 24 BC water in the Paatas and maintaining the water level by adding new water to Paatas. The process of Dantal and Pavdi is continued for first 45 days after that the water supply is stopped and density is allowed to increase up to 28 BC. Once it reaches 28 BC the water is drained out of Paatas and fresh water of 24 BC is charged up to level of 1 inch above the salt layer. The salt is collected in the water by creating salt raw parallel to the length of the Paatas. The salt is removed after the water is drained out. Once again the process is repeated with 24BC water. The small crystal sizes of Karkatch type ease the Iodisation process. During entire season a saltpan produces salt, ranging from 500 to 800 tones Vadagaru salt.

 

The last stage in the production process is that of collection and storage of salt and at this stage, the labour is used intensively. Labour is in very high demand during the heaping season and the wages rise during the harvesting process. The salt is collected within the pans in heaps and then lined into trucks of traders/ buyers and transported out. The salt is again unloaded either near the crushing and refining plots oumed by the traders or at the railway loading centres and heaped again.
