Answer

Sequence of Bidi Making Process:
1. Villagers pick up tender leaves and sell them to the forest department
- The initial step in the bidi making process involves villagers collecting tender leaves from the forest.
- These leaves are then sold to the forest department, which acts as an intermediary in the bidi making process.

2. Dampening the tender leaves
- Once the forest department acquires the tender leaves, they are dampened to increase their flexibility.
- Dampening the leaves makes them easier to work with during the rolling process.

3. Filling tobacco evenly and tying them with thread
- After the leaves are dampened, tobacco is evenly spread on each leaf.
- The leaves are then rolled up and tied with thread to hold the tobacco in place.
- This process ensures that the bidi has a consistent amount of tobacco and maintains its shape.

4. Contractor sells bidi to manufacturer
- Once the bidi rolling process is complete, the contractor who facilitated the production of the bidis sells them to the manufacturer.
- The contractor acts as a middleman, connecting the forest department and the manufacturer.

5. Manufacturer sells to distributor
- The manufacturer then sells the bidis to a distributor, who is responsible for distributing the bidis to various retailers and markets.
- The distributor plays a crucial role in ensuring that the bidis reach the consumers.

Therefore, the correct sequence of the bidi making process is E, A, C, B, D:
- Villagers pick up tender leaves and sell them to the forest department (E)
- Dampening the tender leaves (A)
- Filling tobacco evenly and tying them with thread (C)
- Contractor sells bidi to manufacturer (B)
- Manufacturer sells to distributor (D)

Answer

The process of bidi making:
1. The process of making bidis starts in forested villages where villagers pluck tendu leaves and sell it to the forest department or a private contractor who in turn sells it to the forest department. On average a person can collect 100 bundles (of 50 leaves each) a day.
2. The gov ernment then auctions the leav es to bidi factory owners who give it to the contractors.
3. The contractor in turn supplies tobacco and leaves to home-based workers. These workers, mostly women, roll the bidis – first dampening the leaves, then cutting them, filling in tobacco evenly and then tying them with thread.
4. The contractor picks up these bidis and sells them to the manufacturer who roasts them, and puts on his own brand label.
5. T he m anuf act ur er then sel ls t hem t o a distributor who distributes the packed bidis to wholesalers who in turn sell to your neighbourhood pan shops.
