Objective: To promote agricultural engineering interventions in dryland farming Viz. Farm mechanisation, Improved irrigation system & agricultural allied enterprises
Pre Event Description :
Farmers will be understood about farm mechanization. Farmers will be learn about various improved tools & machineries for harvesting of rabi crops. Serrated sickles specially luxmi sickle for sorghum harvesting & vaibhav sickles for wheat & bengalgram crop harvesting will be promoted to small & marginal farmers . Issue of Drudgery during this work will be discuss & gave solution on it through improved serrated sickle. Kvk will provides serrated sickles to the interested farmers to use it. Soybean & chana grain cleaning will be focused through spiral separator while through custom hiring center kvk will provide service of tractor for tillage & sowing operation. Farmers will be aware of new rural enterprise ie. Dal mill by viewing kvk demonstration unit. Improved irrigation systems viz. Raingun & Drip will be promoted to farmers for precise farming.

Post Event Details:Farmers was understand about farm mechanization, its need. Farmers learned about various improved tools for harvesting of rabi crops after their visits. Serrated sickles specially luxmi sickle for sorghum harvesting & vaibhav sickles for wheat & bengalgram crop harvesting was promoted to small & marginal farmers . Soybean & chana grain cleaning was focused through spiral separator for promoting minimal processing for achieving good market rate during sale of produce. Issue of Drudgery during these works was discussed & gave solution on it through improved light weight serrated sickle & spiral seperator. Tractor tillage & sowing was focused to farmers through kvk’s custom hiring center which saves time, labour requirement & cost of operation. Kvk supplies serrated sickles, provides spiral separator on rent basis & tractor service to the interested farmers to use it. Farmers learned about new rural enterprise named dal mill & its technology at Kvk. Farmers of sugarcane growers got information about the improved irrigation system named Raingun & drip etc.
