Programme (QIP): The Coir Board
organizes Quality Improvement
Programmes (QIPs) every year to
motivate entrepreneurs to take
up coir production and to create
quality consciousness among the
coir workers in various processing
activities viz., spinning, dyeing and
on improving the quality of yarn and
coir products.

Programme (EDP): According
to the estimates of the Coir Board, only

considerably for which more new
units are required to be set up.
In order to motivate and identify

up and managing new coir units,
the Coir Board organises EDPs
engaging professionally competent
and reputed organisations.
