Papad is a food/snack item made from dough of powdered pulses, spices and salt. Papads have
been an integral part of the Indian food since olden times. Over the years, papads have become
popular as a snack item. The papad industry in the cottage/village sector has recorded a
remarkable growth during the last two decades with the advent of “LIJJAT” papad manufactured
by cooperatives of a large number of women based in Maharastra and Gujarat. Keeping in view
the success of “LIJJAT” papad and considering the resourcefulness of women in the north
eastern region, the prospects for papad units are encouraging. |
