Abstract

Mahatma Gandhi believed that hand spinning, combined with weaving on hand looms, was the only logical way for the people of India to become self-sufficient and independent. That originates the hand spinning wheel, later it was popular as Ambar Charkha (AC). It is man-machine hand operated system in floor seated posture. AC operators are basically poor housewives and it is unfocussed, sustainable source of income. During the lifespan, female workers has to undergone different phases like normal phase, menstruation phase, pregnancy phase, milk feeding to infant child phase and menopause phase. Author aims to analyse the effect of different women phases on productivity and human energy expenditure of women workers working on AC by establishing the mathematical relation between dependent and independent. This paper presents to formulate the relationship between the dependent and independent parameters of women workers working on ambar charkha by using the dimensional analysis approach.
