    Way of Intervention through Research & Incubation the Nirmal Milk Products Association, Khawa Cluster Bhoom will make a Prominent role in holistic development of the region. NMPA developed an Innovative ‘Solar System based induction khawa making machine.

    The manufacturing process of Khawa has remained mostly traditional. Still many of the units

    Have been working with the traditional manufacturing techniques which are conventional. As a result, the quality and productivity is very low. Manual processing using Kadhai, Ultani, Bhata and Bhatti for making khawa. There is no advance technology. The problems created because of this technology/working style are as follows:-

    Quality:The quality of the khawa is not up to the mark.

    Fuel (Environment Damage): There is lot of fuel requirement in such kind of process to make khawa. For this furnace wood is used as a FUEL, About 500 species of trees are used as fuels daily in the Bhoom and the surrounding Talukas.

    Hygiene: This process is not at all hygienic. So it affects the quality of khawa. Khawa furnace and furnace are unclear in the vicinity; Khawa is produced in the form of UNHYGENIC, which can affect the health of the customer.

    Production: The production of khawa is very low in this process.

    Time-consuming process: This process takes long long time and produce less khawa.

    Hard work: There is so much of hard work involved in this process. As Compared to the hard work, the production of khawa is not that Much. one person can make one to five K.g. of khawa a day

    Packaging & Branding: Since Khawa Khawa is in UNHYGENIC format, and not in accordance with fssai’s norms, Khawa manufacturers are not expected to make profit because of their packaging and branding. Khawa entrepreneurs can’t reach product Export level.

    Traditional khawa bhatti Economy: Even with the hard work through the furnace, the average profit is Rs.300 to 400 per day per Khawa Bhatti.

    The Nirmal Milk Products Association has taken the initiative for all the issues, for this

    Change, the Solar-based Induction Khawa making machine developed by NMPA.
