• Sr. No. Institution which work on this particular product Details or Observation Image 1 Tata centre for technology and design This project proposes an efficient and mechanised de-shelling process of Bibba, the marking nut. It focusses on ensuring safety and a high rate of shelling without wastage, and easing out the prolonged manual de-shelling process which has led to oil spills, blisters on the skin, and back and neck ache. Five different de-shelling devices have been developed to reduce the physical pain, drudgery and to improvise the de-shelling process. The objective has been to develop a better technology thus improving the livelihood of tribal women working in this with the de-shelling of the marking nut. 2 Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth Parbhani, Maharashtra, India Farm implements were not adopted by respondents such as bhendi plucker, fruit cutting machine, maize shelling machine , rotary maize shelling machine, nalikadar maize shelling machine, biba breaking machine, MKV dibbling machine, bamboo machine, seed and fertilizer spreading machine, peg breaking machine, sunflower threshing machine. Cotton uprooting hipe was adopted by most of the farmers because it is convenient and time saving. Other implements adopted very less may be due to inadequate knowledge about man operated improved farm implements. And also man operated implements more time and labours are required, due to which there was less adoption observed.
