ABSTRACT
The gloomiest facet of recession is large scale employee sacking by multinational companies throughout the world. As loss of employment opportunities and mass scale firing often leads an economy into a vicious circle of unemployment, poverty and severe recession. Thus to rescue economy from this vicious circle, it becomes indispensable for an economy to identify prospective employment opportunities and, to stabilize and strengthen its traditional root sector.
Although MUlti-National companies are pi/lars of both developed and developing countries in current era; but global impact ofsub - prime crises have substantially shaken these pillars, so when pillars become weak it becomes essential for a country to bolster its roots. Traditional small scale manufacturing sector although trivial in supporting economy,
, however is the root of manufacturing sector of the country, and being labor intensive and less investment demanding can be identified as a savior of current economic crises.
This paper is a contribution to study the big potential of traditional small scale handmade paper industry in India over more than a decade, hence to make world economies, to realize the prowess ofsmall when large corporate sector is showing plunge.

people in rural and unorganized sector of the country (KVIC India).
The magnificent growth of Indian Small Scale Industrial sector and with it Growth of Indian HMPI since 1990-91 is shown in Table- I of appendix. The handmade paper units are scattered throughout the country with concentration most in the Kalapi (Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh), Sanganer (Rajasthan), Pune (Maharastra), Kurukshetra (Haryana), Mahaboobnagar (AndhraPradesh) and some clusters are in West Bengal.(KVIC, India) Today over the years, the handmade paper industry has its own reputation for craft paper as well as its converted products. Some HMPI products are recognized and are generally demanded in the market like carry bags, albums, stationery items, gift items, packaging items, drawing papers, greeting cards, invitation cards, business cards, miscellaneous fancy and decorative items etc.
With their prominent benefit of being environmental friendly, handmade paper and
o~
Handmade paper value added products enjoy exclusive demand among the elite customer segment of both national and international markets, thus providing, a strong impetus to investors in the country to ripe the fruits of this exclusive market of Traditional Handmade paper and its value added products. Further HMPI sector being less C'apital demanding {Project cost starting from 3,26,000 (KVIC, India)} and more labor intensive clearly signifies its scope as a potential employer ~and income generator, especially in rural and unorganized sector of the country. This paper is a contribution to recognize the growth trajectory of Indian handmade paper ind~stry, considering it as a paradigm for many other traditional small scale ind which could successfully

Thus this paper emphasife on big wonders of the small in the country.
Literature Review
Small-scale industries occupy a place of strategic importance in Indian economy in view of its considerable contribution to employment, production and exports (Subrahmanya M.H. Bala, 2004). According to Indian planners, the principle of self employment was considered as important to a successful democracy as that of self government. In modern era of global competition, small scale industries try to become investment driven in addition to being labor intensive (Thangavel N, Elangovan R. 2008). Above all in a thickly populated country like India the small scale industry has been approached positively with the purpose of generating employment (Dutt, ' 2005). In India, the manufacture of handmade paper is a fairly well-established industry at the village or small-scale-industry level. It is an interesting technology simply because it uses only waste materials, including rags, tailor shop cloth cuttings and agro-wastes, in the process of making extremely high quality paper, paper products and card. For this reason, the industry has been described as "eco-friendly" and one of the outstanding examples of sustainable development. In addition, the technology is fairly simple to operate and requires no special training or certi'fication. The technology is also available in ready-made form and can be ordered on a tumkey basis. The making of handmade paper is a fairly 'old process in India going back several centuries. Paper-making was largely dominated by Muslim Kagzis.( PART I II: COMMUNITY.;.BASED SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS) Although there have been \ many studies exploring the potential of small scale industries in the country, this paper is

an effort to look exclusively at one of its inconsequential part which have a consequential importance especially in rural,I and unorganized sector of the country. Thus identifying the progress and prospects of Traditional small.scale HMPI sector of the country, and hence recognizing power of small at bad economic times.
Objectives of the Study
• To study the growth of Indian HMPI sector in terms of handmade paper and handmade paper value added products in India since 1990
• To study the growth of Indian Handmade· paper and Indian handmade paper value added product Industrial units since 1990
• To study the growth of employment in Indian HMPI sector since 1990
Research Methodology:
In this paper, a time series model is exploited to fit data. The technique consists of filtering out autocorrelation by an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, following the techniques of Box et at. (1994).Autoregressive integrated
Xl = VdV~r; is a starionarysenes, and
moving average (ARIMA) modeling is specific subset of univariate modeling, in which a time series is expressed in terms of past values of itself (the autoregressive component) plus current and lagged values of a 'white noise' error term (the moving average component). The main advantage of ARIMA forecasting is that it requires data on the time series in question only. First, this feature is advantageous if one is forecasting a large number of time series. Second, this avoids a problem that occurs sometimes with multivariate Models. (AIDAN MEYLER*, GEOFF KENNY AND TERRY QUINN).
The integrated component of an ARIMA model represents the number of times a time Series must be differenced to induce stationarity. A general notation for ARIMA Models is ARIMA (p,d,q)(P,D,Q), where p denotes the number of autoregressive Terms, q denotes the number of moving average terms and d denotes the number of times a series must be differenced to induce stationarity. P denotes the number of seasonal autoregressive components, Q denotes the number of seasonal moving average terms and D denotes the number
. of seasonal differences required to induce stationarity.
V" =(1~B)4 represents the number of regular differences and V~ =(1-B1t
represents the number of seasonal differences requtted to induce stationarity in Yt.
Analysis & Discussion
Model I (Production in Rs Lakhs) of Graph- , in appendix, clearly explicates the
~~~__ growth pattern of HMPI in India since 1990, ~gh till 1999 growth observed was at
decreasing rate, but after 1999 production
. of HMPI sector in country is observing an increase at increasing rate. This clearly indicates that more investment and high innovation in Indian HMPI will not only aid its production, but will also increase the demand of HMPI and HMPI value added products in national and international markets.

Model II (Working units) of Graph- I in appendix, signifies the growth trajectory of HMPI working units since 1990, although as per ARIMA outcome the growth patterns of working units were mixed before beginning of year 2000, however after year 2000 the growth of HMPI units in India has been accelerating. This clearly indicates with strong investment impetus such units can be easily set up to boost the economic framework of Indian rural and unorganized sector. (Further details of HMPI working

units' model can be captured from Table II, III, IV, V, and VI of the appendix)
Model III (Employment in Thousand) of Graph- I in appendix shows great employment potential of Indian HMPI since 1990. This shows vast employment scope in Indian Traditional Small Scale Industrial Sector. ((Further details of HMPI Employment model can be captured from Table II, III, IV, V, and VI of the appendix)
Conclusion
India has a vast rural and unorganized economic sector. This sector is life blood of the country, providing income, employment and investment prospects to many in the country. Being less in lime light with large Multi National Sector this traditional small scale industrial sector is RecessionResistant , as the products of this sector enjoy exclusive national and international demand.
The Indian HMPI sector clearly signifies the overall potential of traditional small scale industrial sector of the country. This sector not only have capability to stop the wealth drain from rural to urban areas, to establish strong industrial base of rural employment and rural growth, to reduce rural-urban disparity in the country but also ability to bolster the roots of the economy hence rescuing it from the economic hardships that are more volatile in organized sector of the country.
