KUMARAGURU COLLEGE OF TECHNOLGY
TEAM ENIGMATIC
Another amazing venture in God’s own country….
KAVUNGAL AGENCY
A SUCCESS STORY
Graduated in Kerala, he travelled across the length and breadth of India to understand the needs of the farmers. He studied on how technology can be used to help farmers in agriculture.
With the backing of agriculture engineers, he started this venture.
CEO MR SHIJITH
1. Coconut de husker.
One of their product is a portable electrically powered coconut dehusker.
It can dehusk 500 coconuts per hour. The coconuts undergo two stages until it's completely
dehusked.Their customers are primarily oil manufactures.The product is featured in the global market today. It
is now popular in Sri Lanka.
INNOVATION
The team developed this product with no aid from the government. Initial trials were carried out with petrol and diesel engine but finally decided on using electrical power.
This product 4 times more effi cient when compared to manual labour. It takes 3 days to manufacture this product. First to develop a blade that can dehusk a coconut irrespective of the size.
INNOVATION
The other innovative products are green flower pots and cattle fodder cutter.
IDEAS IN SURPLUS
Farmers seem to fancy gold ornaments to farming equipment. A large percentage of the loan the government off ers goes into gold purchase rather than satisfying the purpose.
Their products are not trademarked or copyrighted.
People who were once team mates are now competitors.
Man power in the state cannot be found easily.
HURDLES
Farmers should be taught on how technology can serve agriculture so that they embrace the result of science, engineering and innovation.
More uniqueness, better the product.
Machines manufactured should be robust.
FOR BETTERMENT
The agency also has a retail outlet in Trissur which is the most favoured destination for farming equipment.
The CEO also has also developed a team to find out problems faced by the farmers and help them.
KAVUNGAL TODAY
Simple yet smart innovations.
For an agricultural country like India, products like these have a wider market and a longer way to go.
FOR FUTURE
