Investment in the jute industry
Beginning his entrepreneurial journey from Kolkata, Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda embarked upon the goal of saving the fading art of jute. At present, the Sarda Group is the lone business that holds jute mills in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Andhra Pradesh, besides West Bengal.
The jute mills under the Sarda group at present collectively produce over 500 tons of jute items each day. The leading brands of this group are:
- Agarpara Jute Mill
- Alwar Jute Mill
- Vision Comptech
- Axsys Technologies
Also, the group was the first Indian organization to begin expert training facilities for the jute mill workers. With more than 50,000 workers, the Sarda group is one of the largest employers in West Bengal.
Vision for the jute industry
Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda has been relentlessly trying to help the jute industry thrive. His objective is to make people understand the value of eco-friendly items. However, he still thinks that jute has not yet got its due and waits to attain a steady position.
He wants to ensure that this industry thrives and continues to exist for generations to come. Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda is the foremost manufacturer to launch training hubs for workers to be trained in jute production. The Sarda group wishes to do all that is required for further improvement of the jute industry.
Beyond Kolkata, Mr. Ghanashyam Sarda has spread his business to have a pan-India presence in the jute products manufacturing sector. The Sarda group has procured the JK Jute Mills in Kanpur. The mill manufactures jute bags on a large scale that will be supplied to sugar mills in Uttar Pradesh. This has not only helped in reviving the mill but also secured the employment of many workers.
Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda has been an advocate of starting the skill refinement process of the mill workers. He asserted that with the improvement of skills, the jute industry would be able to suffice the demands for eco-friendly items. Lately, the group has started a project to help Jute workers to pay attention to their health.
After the JK Jute Mills acquisition, the production capacity has gone up to 560 tones from 120 tones per day. They have several jute mills in Bengal and have recently established a jute mill in Alwar, Rajasthan. The Sarda Group is also arranging to set up a unit in Tamil Nadu.
