purposes. Every effort should be directed towards making the villages self-
sufficient in lighting.
Vegetable oil lamps like, the 'Magandipa' devised by the A. I. V. I. A., can be
distributed from the demonstration centres along with other equipments, and
the local artisans should also be encouraged to produce them.
10. Paper Making

The provincial Government may start handmade paper industry in the jails
where the required raw materials are available in the vicinity. For this
purpose a survey of the local raw materials needed for paper making should
be carried out by an expert.
All the chemicals required for paper making should be made available by Co-
operative Societies to the handmade paper production centres at controlled
rates.
One central workshop should be maintained, in common with other
industries for making the required machinery such as beater, callender,
moulds, screw press, envelopes making machine, etc.
Paper makers should be supplied with the latest type of equipments such as
hollander beater, callender machine, screw, press, etc., either on hire or on
the hire-purchase system through the Co-operative Societies. These
societies may also supply pulp where such pulp calls for power-driven
machinery for its making.
Such raw materials as office records, waste paper and grasses available in
the government forests useful for paper making, which are auctioned at
present to the highest bidder, should be reserved for hand-made paper
producing centres and should be supplied to them through their co-operative
societies at moderate rates. Similarly, the finished products prepared by the
centres should be purchased by the Government for their stationery and
office record purposes, through the Co-operative societies at such prices as
will leave the paper makers in a position to maintain a reasonable standard
of life.
