Cleaning of houses or maintaining lawn is a daily routine activity followed almost ritualistically in every household worldwide. Brooms are one of the highly used tools to sweep up dust, debris and keep the floor surfaces clean. Brooms come in many forms and are made of either natural fibers or synthetic fibers. There may be soft and hard brooms, big and small brooms, which are made depending on the specific requirements as well as based on the availability of resources. Large quantities of brooms in India are made of grasses, palms and bamboos. Since most of the available Brooms in India are non-perishable non-timber forest products (NTFP), Broom making is an important forestry enterprise in several parts of the country. Broom making is a big business with huge volumes sold every year, has tremendous potential to generate rural employment for local communities. The process of making Broom is quite simple and the project can be initiated with minimum capital investment.

Brooms are one of the most basic cleaning tools and vital for the cleaning of household, office or business establishments. Brooms are required in each household in India and have sufficient demand throughout the country. A broom being a common household item never lasts for a long period due to which there exist ready consistence demand round the year rather the market size is expanding with the growth of population. The demand for broom increased manifold after introduction of Swatch Bharat Abhiyan Mission in India. Brooms are generally marketed through Super Bazars, Kirana Shops and other Retail outlets.
