3. State of Art Review and Novelty Bastar Art Bell Metal or Dhokra and Wrought Iron art No specified composition of raw material. No specified manufacturing process . Socio-economic condition Very-poor Lack of skill and exposure Productivity and market reach Socio-economic upliftment of ST community of Bastar Chhattisgarh Prob. Statement Novelty Methodology Deliverables Outline History Very poor Lack of marketing strategy

4. Problem Statement The process parameters used in the manufacturing of the Bell Metal and Wrought Iron art have not been specified/reported/documented. Lack of knowledge of the competitive market that includes packaging, handling, transportation, marketing, advertising, positing, innovation in design etc. This lack of knowledge work as barrier to the market penetration. Leads to the low productivity. Also, the cost of these arts is comparatively higher as the similar competitive products are available in the market. In today’s era the traditional manufacturing methods are in use to manufacture the said art. Due to this, the role of individual composition are unknown. The process parameters could not be fixed. This leads to the differ in quality and regeneration of identical quality product. The specific composition of the raw material used for the Bell Metal and Wrought Iron art have not been specified. This leads to scarcity of losing the crux of the process in next few generations, if the upcoming generation will not adopt their family/traditional business/practices. Prob.

5. Project Objective and Solution To c haracterize of the raw material used Bell Metal and Wrought Iron art. OBJECTIVE-1 To design the specific modern manufacturing process for Bell Metal and Wrought Iron art . OBJECTIVE -2 To design the streamlined market procedure/sell of the Bell Metal and Wrought Iron art. OBJECTIVE -3 ACTIVITY Identification/analysis of composition. Detail study and description of function of each and every element. Modification on its composition percentage based on the requirement. Characterization of strength, stiffness, corrosion resistance etc. Based on these tests’ best composition of the raw material would be suggested . Redesign of the manufacturing process by studying and analyzing the each and every process parameters effect on product quality. Also, modern machinery/equipment would be added in the manufacturing process, so that the process parameter could be controlled and the productivity could be enhanced without compromising the historical touch/essence/soul of the art. The modern and advanced process for the sale of the product would be designed. For the sale of the final product the national and international market/plate-form would be identified and specific process would be designed. Also, it would specifically be ensured that the artist’s socio-economic standard be better than that of the present condition. Prob. Statement Novelty Methodology Deliverables Outline History
