The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Nightthomasard1122
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

2. Khadi
• Khadi is a hand-spun and hand-woven fabric.
• Woven mostly in cotton, the process originates itself
more than 5000 years ago and believed to be from ancient
India.
• This almost forgotten process was revived by Mahatma
Gandhi in 1921, as a part of his movements of non-
violence and non-cooperation against the British.
• It evoked tellingly the fact that in the post-industrial
world,
self worth and self sufficiency was acknowledged as a
compensation for human labour.
3. Khadi
the process…
• Hand picking of the cotton bolls
• Ginning
• Opening and cleaning
• Carding
• Drawing and Combing
• Roving
• Spinning
• Sizing
• Warping
• Drawing and Drafting
• Weaving
• Finishing
5. Khadi
Ginning
The process of separating fibers from the
cotton seeds.
It is done by hand, using a sharp comb like object like a fish
bone which also removes the larger fragments of trash.
9. Khadi
Carding
The mechanized carding machine consists of a
very fine wire that separates the fibers almost
individually and then passed through moving steel
bars that remove the very short fibers and tangles.
The carded material is then collected as ‘Slivers’.
10. Khadi
Drawing and combing
• It involves the further
parallelization of cotton fibers
and removal of short fibers to
produce finer qualities of
yarn.
• It is the process of
straightening the fibers , prior
to spinning of the yarn and
thus a sliver of cotton is
obtained.
12. Khadi
The New Model Charkha (NMC),
which is semi-mechanized. Roving & Spinning
13. Khadi
Roving & Spinning
Fish bone
The drafted slivers are further
thinned out and twisted
slightly at the same time to
strengthen it.
The product of this process is called
Roving which is directly spun to
produce yarn, during which the
diameter of the yarn is controlled
and calculated. Rovings are wound
onto bobbins ready for spinning.
14. Khadi
Roving & Spinning
Fish bone
The spinning of fiber into yarn is the most emblematic of textile
production. Here the yarn is spun using a spinning wheel.
15. Khadi
Spinning
Fish bone
Although most of the spinning is done on the New Model
Charkha (NMC), in some remote villages the traditional hand
spinning wheel is still being used.
17. Khadi
Spinning Centers
Fish bone
In order to organize and
systematize the spinning process,
spinning is done by spinners at the
spinning centers nowadays.
Most cooperatives, with license
from the KVIC, procure cotton
slivers from South India and then
spin yarn for self consumption
only.
19. Khadi
Sizing
Fish bone
The process involves
starching or
application of sizing
solution to the warp
prior to warping or
after warping to resist
the weaving abrasions.
20. Khadi
Drawing & Drafting
Fish bone The process of making the healds by
looping nylon heald wire around the warp
ends, depending on the weave and design
of the fabric.
21. Khadi
Fish bone
Bobbin winding
The reels of yarns are then
wound onto bobbins by hand
using a winding Charkha.
The process of weaving follows
this.
23. Khadi
Fish bone
The interior villages of West Bengal where
the weavers produce the finest Khadi of
300s to 500s count…
An attempt to revive the famous Bengal
muslin.
25. Khadi
Salient features of Khadi
• Hand-spun and hand woven
• Hand spun yarn renders a soft character to the fabric that
is comfortable to wear.
• Durable fabric.
• Subtle texture in the fabric owing to hand spinning and hand
weaving .
• Fine fabrics up to 500s count are available…..which are otherwise
impossible to weave in mechanized looms.
26. Khadi
The Future of Khadi
• It is the only fabric where the play of texture is so unique that no
two fabrics will be absolutely identical, thus lending it exclusivity
and inimitability in terms of feel and texture.
• Khadi is among the most progressively modern of all textiles,
one that not only has desirably material possibilities but also
consonance with the native ecology and sensitivity to the human
condition that sustains it.
• It advocates that fact that even in the post-industrial world, self-
worth and self sufficiency are acknowledged as a compensation for
human labour.
• Today Khadi is being used by Top Fashion Designers in India and
abroad in garments and accessories.
27. Khadi
Did you know?
70 % of the artisans involved in the process of Khadi production
are women.
Khadi is an eco-fabric. The process involves no environmental
pollution and is extremely eco friendly.
Khadi helps in supporting destitute, helpless rural women folk as
they can work independently and earn their living.
Khadi production is a labour-intensive industry, with a scope of
providing more employment with an investment of a very meager
capital especially in the rural areas.
It enables full development of locally available raw materials and
human resources.
