Abstract
Munj (Succharum munja) plants, available in abundance in India, can be used to make rope. A stripper for the separation of the fibrous leaves from the stalks and a beater to make the leaves suitable for rope preparation were developed. A locally available rope making machine was evaluated and the economics of rope making assessed. The technology developed has good potential for adoption at the village level with attractive returns.
