A knapsack sprayer in which the compression for spraying is generated by tapping the natural body movements through the means of a spring loaded dead weight. The innovative design facilitates increase in spraying productivity due to lowering of fatigue. An Indian patent (295768) has been granted on this innovation. The value addition of the product has been undergoing at CMERI, Durgapur and with a private product design house in Ahmedabad.

A low cost, flexible, easy maneuverable and cost efficient sprayer mounted on any bicycle platform. Pressure is generated by the forward and backward movement of the bicycle and spraying is done through sprayer boon nozzles. This sprayer has an adjustable and foldable boom, which can be adjusted for height as well as spraying nozzle positions. An Indian Patent (A.N.688/CAL/2002) has been filed for the Innovation.

The main components of the sprayer are self made frame, lugged iron wheels, differential unit (of fiat car), belt and pulley drive, gear box, gear shifting lever, chain & sprocket drive, pump, spray tank (100 lit capacity), spray boom and nozzles. The device is pulled by a pair of bullocks. The gear box has three gears. When operator shifts the lever to higher gear, frequency of strokes of pump increases which consequently develops more pressure. As a result the spray fluid atomizes into fine droplets with wider swath. When the gear box is in neutral position, the drive to the pumping unit gets cut off. The suction pipe of the pump is connected to the spray tank and delivery pipe is connected to the spray boom. The height of the spray boom can be adjusted as per the requirement suiting to the height of the crop. The spray boom has 16 nozzles spaced at a distance of 35 cm.

The present innovation relates to a compost aerator machine which can efficiently turn, mix, aerate and humidify the waste, for easy conversion of bio-wastes, to compost useful as rich manure in agriculture fields. An Indian patent no. (1717/DEL/2008) has been filed for the Innovation. His manufacturing unit is registered as Dhonshi Mechanization.

This machine is cost efficient, innovatively designed to remove cotton (indigenous variety of cotton V 797, Guj 21 and vager) from shell efficiently. In this process it does away with manual labour traditionally required and improves the quality of cotton. Patent granted in India & USA. Indian Patent no. (198755) & USA Patent no. (6543091 B2). The technology has been commercialized in India by M/s Chetak Industries Ltd, Viramgam, Gujarat. GIAN invites entrepreneurs interested in commercializing the technology outside India.

As a solution this device is a low cost low cost, drudgery reducing, tractor driven device which digs out the groundnuts and separates them from the earth. Post harvest about 25 % of the groundnuts remain buried in the soil which needs to be recovered through manual labor. An Indian patent no. (1806/ DEL/2004) has been filed for the Innovation and the project supported under MVIF. The innovation has been licensed to 'Ardu High Tech' in Vizay for its application as a sea beach cleaner.

It is a seed drill with new design of metering mechanism. It consists of single metering mechanism irrespective of number of rows to be sown and for range of seed sizes. It can be used for sowing single kind of seed general practice as well as for mix cropping. The seed drill can be used with even 100g of seed. An Indian patent (365/ DEL/ 2008) has been filed for the Innovation.The Innovation has been supported under MVIF. Innovator has commercialized more than 160 units of the same through his enterprise Shree Art & Agriculture Udhyog, Jodhpur.

An improved, cost effective and mobile pepper threshing unit with better productivity. It is retrofitted on to 8-10 HP standard tiller. Also a separate winnowing unit is developed, which has a prismatic wooden hopper block sitting on two bars on top of a tall vertical frame.

Innovator has developed a machine which is capable of thrashing all types of crops with minimum changes in the setting of mechanical parts. It can process crops like Wheat, Bajra, etc with good efficiency. An Indian patent (1273/DEL/2002) has been filed for the Innovation. The Project has also been supported under MVIF. The Innovator has sold more than 250 units under the banner of Shiv Shankar Madan Lal Krishi Yantra, Danta.

The body is made of high quality steel and sheets to withstand maximum wear and tear. The thresher can be operated both with electric motor and diesel engine. The paddy straw is separated from the grain in the threshing cylinder. The straw is thrown out from the machine with the help of a blower, and the grains are thrown out through an outlet. The special feature of this machine is that it dose not chop the straw and the original length is retained.

The device consists of a platform, hemi spherical chipping knife, linkage system and handle. It is used to chip out the bud from sugarcane for sowing purpose and for tissue culture.Novelty of the unit lies in lever operated hemi spherical chipping knife which provides gentle cutting of bud without extra loss of sugarcane during sowing. This ultimately gives higher income to the farmer by utilizing the remaining portion of the chipped canes which can be used for juice extraction or sugar production. An Indian patent has been filed for the Innovation. The project has also been supported under MVIF.The product is being manufactured under the banner of "Jai Ambe Steel Fabrications".

It is a tractor drawn semi automatic Onion transplanter consisting of cultivator frame, furrow opener, fertilizer drilling unit, feeding chute seedlings, seedlings tray, two ground wheels with gear connected to fertilizer drill through chain and sprockets and seating arrangement for four labors, etc. When the tractor moves forward, the fertilizer metering mechanism gets the drive to release the fertilizers in the tubes. The seedlings (50 days age nursery) are delivered manually to the delivery chutes at the regular intervals. The seedling hoppers are connected with fertilizer drilling tubes at bottom, so that precise amount of fertilizers can be drilled along with seedlings while planting. A channel forming ridger plough is mounted offset to the right end of the transplanter to form the irrigation channel simultaneously.
