Design and develop a smart, solar-powered drying and compact packaging system to support home-based agarbatti manufacturing by rural women artisans.

Source summary

The proposed equipment supports home-based agarbatti production by rural women and self-help groups. A compact solar drying chamber should regulate heat, humidity and airflow without losing fragrance, use an enclosed hygienic design and provide battery backup. A simple low-cost sealing system should preserve aroma and resist moisture, with eco-friendly packaging options. AI/IoT monitoring is explicitly optional.
