[A higher quality version of this video is available elsewhere on our channel - YouTube has improved!] Cottage production of safety matches in a village near Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu. About a dozen local women work here in a single room. Three quarters of India's matches are produced in Tamil Nadu, mostly hand made by women in the 15-25 age range earning around 10p(UK) per day. The Joe Homan Charity funded CEDAR project operates in this village, providing pre- and after-school education and activities for children (www.joehoman.org.uk).
Nice Video shows factory work force.Needs more
good safety issues for factory.Development of new methods to reduce fatigue and improve productivity needs to be adopted.
Thank you
