India’s paper tradition has an antiquity of nearly a thousand years. Even though, it is presently caught in a struggle between the changing past and an unknown future, India still has the largest population of hand paper makers in the world.Traditionally, several paper mill establishments cropped up in parts of the country to help benefit from the rich forest resources of the region.
