Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Training programme on BRRI farm machinery for the operators and block supervisor was implemented under the PAMP project. A total of 53 participants from 12 districts attended the training sessions. Safe operation, repair and maintenance of the reaper, threshers, winnower and weeder were included in the training sessions. A set of hand tools was given to each of the participants. The participants opined that this type of training was very useful for them.

Start Date: 01-07-2003

End Date: 30-06-2004

Program Area: Farm Mechanization

Commodity: Farm machineries

Objectives:

1.To improve the operational skill of the farm machinery operators

2.To sharpen the knowledge of the operators on repair, maintenance, safety and management of farm machinery

Methodology:

BRRI developed farm machinery and technologies were being popularized in the 21 district of the country through field demonstration to the farmers. To strengthen this endeavor further, a training programme on BRRI farm machinery for the operators and Block Supervisors was undertaken during the reporting period. BRRI weeder, BRRI open drum thresher (ODT), BRRI rice-wheat reaper, BRRI rice-wheat thresher (TH-7 & TH-8) and BRRI winnower etc. were used in the training seasons. Both class lecture and hand on practical sessions were applied in the training sessions.

Achievement/Findings:

BRRI farm machinery including reaper, threshers (Open drum and closed drum), winnower and weeder were used in the programme. Theoretical classes on importance and use of the machinery, benefits of using farm machinery, proper operating condition, and safety pre-caution and operational procedures were included in the lectures. Practical hand on training session was conducted in field using live samples. Each participant had the opportunity to operate the machinery and also participated in the repair and maintenance operations. Resource speakers and technicians from BRRI, DAE, RDA and WRC, took part in these training sessions. A set of hand tolls was given to each of the participants at the end of the programme. The participants observed that this type of training session on farm machinery was very useful for them. They opined that they were more confident than before about the use of the machinery and the hand tools would be very useful for their work.
