Question

What are the new developments in agriculture n INDIA?

Answer 1

Earlier the people use old techniques.But now machines r used.N Our INDIA is also developing day by day.

Answer 2

JICA began to provide assistance in 1991. The first five years were spent developing high-quality silkworms from Japan into breeds suited to conditions in India, and on the development of mulberry tree varieties to feed them.

Answer 3

These are the recent development in agricultural (in India)...........

1. Maharashtra State Seeds Corporation Limited (Mahabeej) with financial support from ICAR succeeded in the design development and testing of a pollution-free cotton seed delinting plant. The capacity of the indigenous cotton seed delinting plant is 1.0 TPH tomes/hr. The plant is based on dry HCL gas generation without the use of sulphuric acid and has been installed at Shivani (Akola). The new eco-friendly technology has been dully certified by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board. The machines have been coated with taflan and lined with FRP for corrosion resistance. Electric power consumption has been minimized and the initial cost of installation is considerably lower than other imported and indigenous plants. The cotton linters after the delinting process are converted into a powder which could be further refined to pharmaceutical grade cellulose. Thus, the process of obtaining clean cotton seed after delinting has been made completely eco-ftiendly without any adverse environmental effect. The technology is available for commercialization.

The post harvest technology scheme at Dr. PKV Akola has established the first organic agro processing centre at Nimkhed Bazar, Anjangaon Surji, Distt. Amravati. The agro processing centre includes PKV mini dat mill, PKV cleaner grader, destoner, mini oil mill and papad making machine. The organic APC was inaugurated by the Vice- Chancellor of Dr. PKV Akola on April 3, 2004.

2. A group of 280 farmers of Vidharba region with the total land holding of about 4000 acres have come together to grow crops organically under the coordinatorship of Sh. Deepak Shinde. More farmers are joining this group. Sh. Shinde has been interacting with farmers in USA, Poland, U.K. and other developed countries to exchange knowledge in the field of organic farming. He has established electronic communication facilities in the rural area to facilitate fast communication and sale of organic produce. The group is selling its organic produce in local as well as foreign markets. There is already a huge demand for the organically processed products which command 10-25 per cent higher prices as compared to the normal products.

Organically grown food must be processed organically for organic certification. Besides, some value could be added to the produce right in the production catchments with the help of appropriate post harvest technology. It is in this context, that the organic agro-processing centre at Nimkhet has been set up. The organic agro-processing centre will create opportunities for employment and increased farm income.

The All India Coordinated Research Project on Post technology has been promoting agro-processing centres in the production catchments to reduce post harvest losses, create rural employment and enhance rural income. More than 250 agro- processing centres have already been set up in various parts of the country.

3. The traditional oil bleaching is essentially the process of decolourization. This is done by mixing the heated oil under vacuum with specially prepared earth that absorbs the colouring bodies and the the spent earth oil is filteres. The total requirement of the bleaching earth ion the country is approximately 50,000 tonnes annually. At present, the bleaching earth is largely imported.

Recently, a low cost alternate bleaching material has been developed at CIPHET, Ludhiana from abundantly available indegenous bio-resources with the objective of import substitution and reduction in the cost of bleaching and loss of oil absorbed by the bleaching earth. The bleaching loss is estimated to be 1-2%. The technology developed at CIPHET is eco-friendly ans has the potential of employment generation. The technology has been transferred to M/s Star Polyfab for a period of five years.

The technology has been developed by Dr. S.M. Iliyas, Dr. S.K. Tyagi, Er. R. K. Vishwakarma, amd Dr. O.D.Wanjari.

Answer 4

It's all the same where ever you go. Thank you world for not making agriculture a great big secret. Hopefully, the big news in India would be to see the government being careful and sure to take the thoughts and wishes of the farmer into consideration before making decisions. We can all only hope that much for our selves.
