Naveen, Baibhav and Local sickles were evaluated for harvesting paddy crop with 20 farm women age 30-50 years (Subjects) at surrounding villages of KVK, Chatra, Jharkhand. The data of improved and Local sickles were compared. During the harvesting session, they spend nearly 7-8 hours daily to perform the activity. The Naveen sickle was the heaviest weight 229g followed by Baibhav and deshi was 202 and 178g, respectively. Deshi sickle was the lightest in weight (178g). Blade of both improved sickles were made up of high carbon steel except for deshi sikcle that was made up of iron. The output was found maximum for Naveen sickle (74.2kg) this sickle resulted 6.9 per cent more ouput over the deshi sickle and also increase area covered 4.7 per cent over the deshi sickle. Average working heart rate (104bpm) and corresponding energy expenditure (7.81kg/min) was found minimum for Naveen sickle. Total cardiac cost of work for all sickles ranged from 840 beats to 1010 beats TCCW for Naveen sickle was 19.38 per cent less over deshi sickle. Therefore, Naveen sickle was suitable for crop harvesting under prevailing bio-physical and social economic condition of Chatra district, JharkhandKeywords

Weeds are the most under estimated crop pest in tropical agriculture, although they cause higher reduction in crop yield than other pest and disease. In agriculture rural women play a vital role for maximum operation of crop production. Drudgery reduction has a serious problem for farm women in this respect the present research assess three types of weeders on ergonomic parameters, man days required with a view to promote health. The experiment was conducted in Gidhour village of Chatra district, Jharkhand, 20 farm women in the group age of 25 to 35 years were selected in normal health. The result revealed that all three weeder proved efficient on ergonomic parameters reduced working heart beat energy and cast of cultivation compared to traditional tools (Spade). Among all three weeders grubber (Three tynes) with wheel was best weeder in respect to reduction of working heart beat energy expenditure and cost of cultivation. The yield of cauliflower was highest (278q/ha) in technology option grubber (three tynes) with wheel.Keywords

The aim of the project is to develop an action plan for watershed management. Watershed management is the process of creating and implementing plans, programmes and projects to sustain and increase watershed functions that affect the plants, animal and human communities inside watershed boundary (Wikipedia). The recent technologies like remote sensing and GIS support use to giving a quicker and cost effective analysis of various applications with accuracy for planning. It also gives a better perspective for understanding the problems and, therefore, helps planners to evolve a better solution for sustainable development. From the final output of these themes generate∼ pond, grassed waterways, percolation tank and check dams are recommended for the study area, mainly to control sedimentation from the catchments. To increase the groundwater recharge and vegetative cover to control soil erosion, various action plans like construction of recharge structures, afforestation etc. have been proposed. This project describes in brief the work carried out for the study area using remote sensing and GIS.Keywords

A study on women’s involvement and their training needs in rice cultivation was studied Chatra district in five selected villages, one each from five selected blocks i.e. Kunda, Partappur, Simariya, Tandwa and Hunterganj covering 250 respondents. Results indicated that harvesting was the activity in which farm women were mostly involved followed by transplanting and weeding, seed selection and treatment, sowing and nursery raising and seed grain storage with weighted mean scores of 2.57, 2.56, 2.38, 2.25, 2.18, 1.96 and 1.37, respectively. Plant protection was rated first training need followed by seed and grain storage, land preparation, seed selection and treatment and sowing and nursery raising with weighted mean scores of 2.36, 2.24, 2.20, 2.08, 2.04 and 2.01, respectively.Keywords
