| Process of Bricolage Practice |
Resources at hand, Context Specific |
Use of indigenous skills and machines |
We cut the bottles into thin strips through a blade embedded in wood-slab, and then the strips were weaved in the loom available at home–Respondent I |
| Fabrication of locally available materials |
The solar driers were designed using woods, bamboo, timber which were procured from the forests and fabricated with the help of women solar engineers who received training from outside-Respondent II |
| Cost Effective |
Minimization of Production Cost |
Solar Drier enables easy learning and can be maintained easily- Respondent II |
| Rise in productivity |
The wood-slab facilitates easy cutting of bottles, saves time and we can produce a total of 10 bags on a daily basis- Respondent I |
| Sustainable-driven practices |
Economic Growth |
Reducing Dependency |
The solar drier eliminates dependency from outside, we can harvest and store our crops for a longer period of time- Respondent II |
| DevelopingSelf-Reliance, |
We can take care of the looms and fix it if it needs maintenance, no dependence on external factors, selling of bags generates an extra income for us-Respondent III |
| Eco-Efficiency |
Reduction in Waste Accumulation |
Since we promote re-use and re-cycle the plastic bottles, there is a waste reduction in the village and this protects our environment-SJI Project Staff |
| Conservation in Energy (Electricity) |
Since the solar drier does not depend on electricity for its operation, we can save energy- Respondent II |
| Empowerment |
Creating entrepreneurial opportunities for women in the village |
We don’t sit idle anymore in the house, we get orders from different regions to make bags, this gives an opportunity to us to earn for our family- Respondent III |
| Improving the life of marginalized and vulnerable communities |
The installation of solar drier has improved our lives as we can sell or products outside-Respondent II |
