III. Thematic area Value Addition.

iv. Problem Diagnosed The effects of malnourishment are irreversible if they occur at a

young age. If not death, it leads to permanent disabilities that render

the children ill for the rest of their lives. Not only children but

adults also fall in the category of malnutrition in India.

V. Important Cause India has the maximum number of malnourished children in the

world – 1 in every 3 children is malnourished. Bringing about

changes in eating habits and motivating them to select healthy

option for snacking may help in improving the nutrition of the

people.


VII. Micro farming system -

VIII. Technology for Testing Moringa provides rich and rare combination of nutrients, amino

acids, anti oxidants, anti aging and anti inflammatory properties

used for nutrition and healing. The leaves are inexpensive,

abundantly available and still are under exploited and are mostly

discarded. Moringa is said to be the new hope in efforts at

minimizing malnutrition and various related ailments. All parts of

31

moringa are edible but unfortunately its utilization is limited either

due to ignorance or due to inability to use them in different

products.

IX. Existing Practice No incorporation of moringa powder for all recipes

X. Hypothesis Moringa is new hope in efforts at minimizing malnutrition and

various related ailments.

XI. Objective (s) To incorporate dehydrated moringa powder in total 4 different

recipes with different levels (0%, 5%, 10%, 20%) of the

dehydrated leaf powder incorporation will be prepared, and to

assess quality on the basis of sensory evalaution.

II. Title of the OFT Development of fiber enriched herbal biscuits

III. Thematic area Designing and development for high nutrient efficiency diet

iv. Problem Diagnosed Biscuits are used as most convenient product consumed all over the

word in both rural as well as in urban populations. The nutritional

quality of biscuits totally depends on raw ingredients used for its

preparation. The bakery products can be used as a vehicle for

incorporation of different nutritionally rich ingredients. In market,

usually biscuits available are not healthy due to the presence of

white flour, vanaspati ghee and excess amount of sugar. However,

if these ingredients are substituted in whole or in part with their

healthier counterparts the product will definitely be more nutritious.

V. Important Cause In market, usually biscuits available are not healthy due to the

presence of white flour, vanaspati ghee and excess amount of sugar



VIII. Technology for Testing In recent years, considerable attention has been paid by the

government to encourage healthy eating habits among its

population by spreading awareness about nutritious food and

motivating industries for development of healthy food. Nowadays,

emphasis is on healthy Biscuits with low glycemic index, more

32

protein and more dietary fiber and decrease in calorie and

carbohydrates. Herbal Biscuits are made by incorporation of Tulshi

and Moringa leaves in a mixture of whole wheat flour, wheat flours,

sugar powder, vegetable oil (soybean), baking powder, skim milk

powder, egg white, iodized salt, and other general ingredients. The

present study is planned to develop a product with high fiber

content and low caloric value. All these ingredients will impart

characteristic colors, texture and nutritional value which may be

favorable in bakery products, recipes and other food products

IX. Existing Practice biscuits available are not healthy due to the presence of white flour,

vanaspati ghee and excess amount of sugar

X. Hypothesis Herbal Biscuits made by incorporation of Tulsi and Moringa leaves

can serve as good alternative.

15. Every KVK should bring a brief write-up supported by quality photographs about the technology

having wide acceptability among the farming community of the district with factual data

In last four years, the KVK, North and Middle Andaman has demonstrated number of agriculture and allied

technologies at the field of farmers. All the technologies were successfully transferred to farmers with

encouraging results. Some of the technologies with wider acceptability and worth mentioning are detailed

below:

Sl. No. Title/ Name of technology Brief detail of the technology

1. CARI- 7 Dhan An average yield of 47.27 q/ha was obtained

from CIARI-7 Dhan, which was 29.86 %

higher than local check variety Swarnajaya

(36.40 q/h).

2. Backyard farming of Vanraja

chickens

The chickens gained an average weight of 1.3

kg in 4 months with an overall mortality of 13

% compared to traditional practice in which the

average weight gain and mortality rate of

chickens are usually in the range of 860- 920 g

and 40-46 %, respectively.

3. Coconut Climber Demonstrated in farmer’s field where it was

found that climbing is easy with minimum risk.

Coconut climber can be used by any farmers or

farm women for plucking coconut.

4. Organic cultivation of okra Conducted at different locations of district by

using different organic sources like vermicomp

ost, rockphosphate, neem manure and farm

yard manure.

5. Balancing of Dairy Ration Strategic supplementation of coconut cake

along with mineral mixture was found to

improve the milk yield up to 1.1-1.2 Kg (T3),

thereby increased cost-benefit (BC) ratio.

6. Azolla Cultivation In this demonstration, about 98 kg of fresh

azolla was obtained from a pit of 2.5m X 1.5m

in 6 months with BC ratio of 3.7 compared to

only 23 kg of fresh Azolla with BC ratio of 2.3

from the check in which no routine operations

were performed.

7. Evaluation of CIARI Fish Grower

Diet-

Growth performance was superior in Technical

option 1 (CIARI fish feed 1) followed by

Technical option 2 (CIARI fish feed 2) and

control. Cost incurred towards the farming

operation was recorded to be Rs.44,525 /ha,

Rs.51,786 /ha and 47,396 /ha for T1, T2 and

37

control respectively.

8. Development of low cost

supplementary diet for infants and

children using locally available

food ingredients.

Malted flour increased energy, protein and

micronutrients content of different recipes in

comparison to other options.

9. Intercropping in arecanut

plantation-

The intercropping with planting of turmeric and

ginger in the interspaces of arecanut plantation

not only gives additional income but also

increases the yield of main crop (arecanut).

10. Assessment and evaluation of

Colocasia varieties

Evaluation of different varieties of Colocasia

showed that Shree Rasmi variety yielded 30.0

tones/ha followed by Muktakesi 28.5 ton/ha

and Shree Kiran (23.6 ton/ha) Shree Pallavi

(19.2ton/ha) on the otherhand the local variety

yieded 14.80 t/ha.

11. Paddy cum fish culture A total area 0.40 ha paddy field was selected

for demonstration. Rearing of Rohu fry in rice

field was found an increase in fingerling

production and was economical to farmers.

12. Tie and Dye Technique on Fabric This results in beautiful patterns and designs in

fabrics like dupatta, t-shirts, sarees etc. It is a

kind of value addition in clothes thereby

increasing the value of the fabric and

enhancing the income of the family.

13. Paddy Variety Gayatri (Medium

duration, high yielding)

The result showed that on an average paddy

yield of 46.5 q/ha (average yield of 4 farmer’s)

which is 12 % higher than local check variety

(Jaya) which was recorded 41.5 q/ha. Further,

the farmer’s accepted the consumable quality

of Gayatri variety.

14. Mini-egg incubator 52% hatchability was obtained from the

incubated egg in Mini-egg incubator. The cost

benefit ratio of this demonstration was 1.63

compared to local check 1.16.

15. Vermi composting by involving

SHG’s

All Inputs (Tin sheds, repair of vermicompost

unit and worms) were provided to all the three

SHG’s and the compost that was prepared in 2-

3 months were later sold by SHG’s in the retail

market at par with the market prices (i.e.

Rs.10/kg).Gross cost was calculated which was

Rs.3500 and Gross return was Rs.5000.The

B.C ration was found to be 1.42.

16. Evaluation of KVK pond cleaner

in improving fish health and water

Due to onset of diseases due to poor quality

water or common bacterial fish diseases,

38

quality in fish ponds

farmer suffers a lot due to non availability of

proper fish medicines in the market. Taking it

into the consideration KVK pond cleaner was

formulated to serve preventive and curative

requirements in fish ponds.

17. Evaluation of consumer

acceptability for Banana Value

Added Products

Mean scores of sensory evaluation showed that

banana cookies received maximum score of 8.6

in overall acceptability followed by Banana Bar

(score of 8.0) Banana Jam (score of 7.6 ) and

Banana Chapaties (score of 6.8).
