The term basket willow or wicker willow or osier willow locally known as Veer kani refers to a certain group of medium-sized willow shrubs that are pruned, coppiced or pollarded in such a way that they are stimulated to produce long, straight, flexible rods. The whips/ rods collected from these plantations are used to make high quality multi-shaped and multi-purpose artifacts of furniture, baskets, Kangries (portable fire port) and containers for storing vegetables, food items and clothes, etc. Being labour intensive, basket industry involves reasonably large number of local people which is significant for socio-economic upliftment of the rural masses.There are different processes involved in the developmental stages of wicker hadicraft one of important processes is peeling of wicker rods. Traditionally Willow brake (Zealen) is used for peeling the peel off from wicker rods, in which the workmen pull rod through narrow gap made in the wooden peace (traditional called zealen). Such a method of wicker peeling is time consuming and labour intensive, in addition to this it causes high level of damage to wicker rods and also causing hand burning of the farmers. Keeping in view of these constraints, development of portable willow wicker peeling machine was necessary. Due to the tremendous need for such machines at farmers level this start-up has been taken for fulfilling the needs of farmers throughout kashmir Valley.
