The study was undertaken to assess ergonomically efficiency of hanging type wheat graincleaner, carried out in adopted villages under On Farm Testing (OFT) and Front LineDemonstration (FLD) program conducted by KVK, Mandsaur (M.P.). Total Fifteen farmwomen were selected to assess the physiological workload to compare the impact ofimproved technology over conventional practice for hanging type grain cleaner. Physiologicalparameters i.e. HR, energy expenditure, cardiac cost reduction and physiological costreduction etc., were measured during operations. The results revealed that hanging typegrain cleaner has proved proficient on time and output parameters. The average cardiaccost of work was decreased by 82.29 per cent while using hanging type grain cleaner forwheat. Drudgery reduction was found 83.96 per cent and it saved time by 89.10 per centwhen compared to traditional practice. The physiological cost of work and energyexpenditure in terms of heart rate were observed to be lower while performing activitieswith hanging type grain cleaner as compared to the traditional practice.

One hundred and twenty eight (128) on-farm demonstrations on Improved Production Technology (IPT) for black gram were carried out in eighty (80) hectares of farmer’s fields in Sankarankovil, Vasudevanallur and Kuruvikulam blocks of Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu from 2010-11 to 2012-13 under Tamil Nadu – Irrigated Agriculture Modernization and Water Bodies Restoration and Management (TN-IAMWARM) project. Two methods viz., Improved Production Technologies (IPT) and Conventional Method (CM) were compared. The results revealed that the adoption of Improved Production Technologies IPT) favorably influenced yield attributes and yield of black gram. The maximum seed yield (1,053 kg ha-1) obtained from IPT which was higher than conventional method (720 kg ha-1). The best net income ( 25,650) and benefit:cost (2.60) were also associated with IPT than conventional method of black gram cultivation. The additional income of 11,762 ha-1 was obtained from IPT over Conventional Method of black gram cultivation.

White Sugar

A study was conducted during 2019-2020 in ICAR-KVK, Vamban, Pudukkottai district, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The people are facing various health problems for high consumption of white sugar viz., obesity, diabetes, dementia, cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration, alzheimer’s disease, increased blood glucose level, kidney ailments, gout, heart problems, hyperactivity, cancer and cavities. Children who eat sweets containing sugar also suffer from health issues. Hence, we have developed cookies with natural sugars and sensory evaluated for the period of 30 days stored in poly ethylene pack at room temperature. The cookies were nutritious and convenient snack for all age groups. The present study was undertaken to develop different cookies with addition of palm sugar, jaggery, white sugar and to evaluate the sensory acceptability, shelf life and benefit cost ratio of cookies through on farm trial for entrepreneurship development programme.
