PIGGERY UNIT
There is high potential for piglet production unit and piggery units for meat purpose.
KVK Hassan instrumental in establishing > 25 units so far
To demonstrate model piggery unit for NREGA, there is a need to establish model piggery unit that would
Serve as a pilot UnitBe used for practical training and skill development For Hands on training for handling and maintenance

VEGETABLE SEED PRODUCTION
Seed Production and seedling production is highly profitable venture in Belur and Hassan Taluks.
Model Nursery unit established under National Horticulture Mission is sufficient to cater the needs of skill training.
However seed packing and processing unit is required to cater the need. This pilot plant is essential because individual farmers can not establish processing plant.
This will serve as pilot plant for seed producersThis will used for practical training

CUSTOM HIRE CENTREUse of agricultural machinery during the last decades
has increased at a faster rate.
Land holding is still a serious limitation in the mechanization.
Under these circumstances the role of custom higher centre for sustainable agriculture and economy will be more important.
To demonstrate such model for NREGA, there is a need to establish model custom hire centre for mechanization.
This will serve as pilot plantThis will used for practical training and skill developmentHands on training for Repair and maintenance

Achievements of KVK
Success stories…• A group of 10 ladies formed a group
named ‘Krishi Sahayi’• Last season they have transplanted
paddy in an area of 50 acres• They are earning Rs. 3500/- per
month• The group has undertaken
harvesting in an area of 75 acres earning Rs. 150/hr.
Helical Blade Puddler –for effective land preparation
Technology developed by Kerala Agricultural UniversitySaves around 40 per cent diesel and about 50 per cent time
KVK demonstrated the technology successfully and 4 farmers are currently utilizing the technology
Acute shortage of labour to do coconut harvesting
necessitate youth trained in operating
coconut climbing machinery
TNAU Model RAIDCO Model
COCONUT CLIMBERS
15 persons, including ladies, have undergone trainings from KVK
They are now employing the technology in farmers fields
Udyanamitra Garden Transplanter
Transplanting all categories of vegetable seedlings without transplanting shock.
Technology was assessed and refined by the KVK
Currently 20 farmers use this technology under field conditions
BUND FORMERBunds with 30 cm width and depth

CONSTRAINTS…….
Difficulty in mobilizing men youth as they are
involved in other remunerative activities like sand
mining
Small size of holdings of farmers in Malappuram
District
Unsuitability of machineries for special situations
Confusion regarding the ownership and
management of machineries
