The first manufacturing cum marketing cell was inaugurated in July 2003 by Mr. Sunil Balival I.A.S., District Collector of Tirunelveli District, TN, India, in the premises of M/S Arumbugal Trust, who have been given the training and technical know-how by Nichi-In.

This project of manufacturing is now run in four places on a Franchise basis by M/S Hope Foundation, India by employing rural women and self-help groups and the manufactured goods which don't contain any chemical glue have been found to be hypo-allergenic, are now welcome by even the urban population. The Gel contained inside with a very good capacity of fluid absorption and retention makes it a comfortable one with dry surface even after longer duration of usage. With an increasing demand for the product which has a technological advantage and affordable price is likely to make Nichi-In franchise more manufacturing centers as cottage industry which we hope would also give employment to many.
