Rural Agricultural Work ExperienceProgram(RAWE) is organized every year for
the under graduate students of B. Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture, finalyear VIIth
semester.
RAWE helps the students primarily in understanding the ruralsituations, status of
agricultural technologies adopted by farmers, prioritizethe farmer’s problems
and to develop skills and attitude of working with farm families for overall
development in ruralarea.
In our India mostof the people are adopting agriculture and allied sectors as their
occupation. So, importanceof agriculture in India is mostvaluable than other
sectors. As students of agriculturesector, we have to develop new technologies
for more efficient work in agriculture. RAWE Programis a very much important
Part to achieve this goal.
Here participatory ruralappraisal(PRA) technique is conducted to gain
experience. So, we wererequired to carry out the exercises in the assigned village
with help of the villagers and submitour reportthrough different maps.
During the PRA exercise, we were exposed to village situation and we got a basic
understating of various on-farmactivities. Each and every student developed
communication skills during the presentation conducted regularly under this
program.
Various exercises under this project developed this knowledgeof the student and
revised all the courses that we studied for the last 3 years. We are now
comfortable while communicating with the villagers.
I think the most important achievement of this RAWE program is that it has
generated interest in the minds of the students to do something for the villagers
because wehave very closely observed the real problems and difficulties faced by
the poor farmers.
3. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 2
Objectives of RAWE program:
To gain knowledgeand experience opportunity aspect of agricultural
technology being useby farmer.

6. Vermicompost:
I. Vermicompostis stable, fine granular organic manure, which
enriches soil quality by improving its physicochemicaland biological
properties. Itis highly usefulin raising seedlings and for crop
production. Vermicompostis becoming popular as a major
component of organic farming system.
II. Vermicomposting is a method of preparing enriched compost with
the useof earthworms. Itis one of the easiest methods to recycle
agricultural wastes and to produce quality compost. Earthworms
consumebiomass and excrete it in digested form called worm casts.
Worm casts are popularly called as Black gold. The casts are rich in
16. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 15
nutrients, growth promoting substances, beneficial soil micro flora
and having properties of inhibiting pathogenic microbes.
Vermicomposting materials:
I. Decomposableorganic wastes such as animal excreta, kitchen waste,
farmresidues and forestlitter are commonly used as composting
materials.
II. Eisenia foetida (Red earthworm), Itis preferred becauseof its high
multiplication rate and thereby converts the organic matter into
vermicompostwithin 45-50 days.
Compostgets ready in 45-50 days.
17. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 16
7. Azolla:
I. Azolla is a small plant float in the waste and grows rapidly azolla is
very rich in protein vitamins and mineral.
II. Azolla mostly used as feed for animals like cattle, poultry, birds, duck,
also it is used as biofertilizer.
III. Greenmanure:Azolla is applied @ 0.6-1.0 kg/m2
(6.25-10.0t/ha) and
incorporated before transplanting of rice.
IV. Dual crop: Azolla is applied @ of 100 g/m2
(1.25t/ha), oneto three
days after transplanting of rice and allowed to multiply for 25-30
days. Azolla fronds can be incorporated into the soil at the time of
firstweeding.

37. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 36
A Sugar Factory Process:
In a sugar factory white crystalsugar is made fromsugarcane. The sugar content
in the cane is called pol. Generally, pol in sugarcaneremains between 12-14%.We
can’t recover the total sugar content. These are always having somelosses. Some
sugar goes in bagasseand somein molasses and there are some unknown losses.
So, recovery of sugar comes between 8-11%. Besides whitecrystalsugar we get
some by products such as molasses, bagasse, and press mud etc. fromsugar.
Various processes taking place in sugar factory –Sugarcaneis purchased from
farmers. Itmustbe mature, fresh, clean and free of diseases. Itis broughtby the
means of trolley, carts and trucks. Caneis directly unloaded in cane carrier by
cane unloaders.
38. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 37
1.Cane Carrier:
Itis a large state which conveys the cane fromunloading point to the fiberizer. It
consists of horizontalan inclined portion. The horizontalportion is kept below the
ground level for convenient of unloading of cane. The inclined portion of carrier
elevates the cane to a sufficientheight for delivery into the fiberizer. Cane carrier
moves very slow with the help of reduction gears, gearbox and motor. Generally,
the speed of cane carrier is kept equal to speed of moll rollers i.e., 15 to 16
meters/minute.
2.Cane Unloader:
Itconsists of two jaws with the help of those it takes 2 to 3 tons of cane in one
bite fromtruck and drop it into the carrier. The capacity of one unloader is 5 ton
per bite.
3.Cane Preparation:
Cane preparation means breaking up the cell structureof the cane as completely
as possible with the help of knives and fiberizer (hammers).
Preparation of cane has two main objectives.
A. To increase the capacity by increasing bulk density.
B. To assistextraction of mills by breaking down the structureof the cane. It
has following units.
4.Kicker:
Purposeof kicker is to level off thick spots on the carrier feed. Rotating knives
fixed radically on a softacross the carrier is called kicker. Ithas thirty knives
running at 110 rpm. Clearance between knives tip and carrier is kept at 20 inches.
5.Equalizer or cutter:
39. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 38
Ithas same design as kicker but it has 60 knives and running at 600 rpm. The
purposeof knife is to cut the cane into small pieces.
6.Fiberizer:
Ithas designed to complete the preparation of cane by tearing or fiberizing it into
finer pieces rather than by cutting. Itconsists of rotating hammers fixed radially
on a shaft. Hammer may be swinging type or fixed type. The cane coming
between the hammers and anvil plate is being teared off. The prepared cane from
fibrizer is taken to the milling station by drag carrier.
7.Millingstation:
Itconsists of four sets of mills in each mill there are four rollers i.e., under feeder,
feed roller, dischargeroller and top roller. Prepared cane is feed to mill through
Donnelly chute and under feeder. Donnelly chute and centre feeder are used as
pressurefeeder. Prepared cane is feed to mill by force due to gravity. Juice is
extracted twice in each mill by compression, wholemoistureof bagassecan’tbe
removed by two compressions so a greater number of mills (herefour) are used.
Water is added beforethe last mill to dilutes the juice. The process of diluting the
juice in bagasseby spraying water is called imbibition.
Itis two types:
(A) Simple imbibition
(B) Compound imbibition.
In simple imbibition water is added after each mill.
In compound imbibition water is added only before last mill and juice coming out
of last mill is used as imbibition on the preceding mill. Juice fromthird collected
and pumped to D.S.M. Screen for screening the juice. At D.S.M. Screen it is
filtered and sent to weighing station.
40. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 39
8.Boiler station:
At boiler station generally water tube boilers are used bagassecoming out of last
mill is feed in furnace water flows inside the tube and fuel gasses around the
tubes. Water inside the tube gets heated and converted into steam. This steam is
used for running turbines at mill house, power houseand exhauststeam is
utilized for juice heating and boiling in boiling house.
9.Power House:
Turbo alternating sets are installed wheresteam is feed to turbine which rotate in
high speed (7000 rpm) turbineis connected with alternator and thus electricity is
generated. This electricity is used in factory for running motors and other
equipment’s and supply power to colony.
10. Processingof juice:
Juice coming out of D.S.M. screen is sent to weighment tank whereit weighed
automatically and discharged a fixed weight of juice at each tip. The weighing
tank is suspended froma beam which is counter poised so, that value closes
wherethe tank reaches a predetermined weight. Itis discharged and cranked
beam is arranged. So that the tank is emptied the value closes and it tips back to
its original position. Each tip is recorded.
11. Clarification process:
The purposeof clarification process is to remove impurities from juice a much as
possible. The juice contains considerableamount of colloidal and fine suspended
matter. These colloidal and suspended matter areremoved in clarification process
up to certain extent.
Objectiveof clarification-
a) change in pH
b) coagulation of some colloids
41. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 40
c) formation of insoluble calcium
sulphates compound.
12. Raw juice heating:
Juice after weighment is sent to heaters where it is heated up to 70°C. Juice
heater is shell and tube type. Itconsists of steel/copper tubes of size45mmoD
and 4-meter length into which juice flows and gets the desired temperature.
Vapor/exhauststeam surrounds thetube which gives of its latent heat of juice
and get condensed.
13. Juice sulphitation:
After heating of raw juice, it sent to juice sulphitor. In juicesulphitor milk of lime
& SO2 gas are mixed for removalof impurities presentin cane juice. The outlet pH
of sulphited juice is maintained about 7.0 After the sulphitation juice is sent to
sulphited juice heater where juice is heated up to 103°Cand sent to juice clarifier.
14. Juice clarifier:
Heated sulphited juice to the juice clarifier for removal of impurities by setting the
muddy juice fromclarifier sent to filtration station and decanted juice called clear
juice sent to evaporation station after heating up to 107°Cin clear juice heater.
15. Filter Station:
The muddy juice coming out from clarifier is sent to rotatory vacuum filter mixing
of bagacillo. The juices coming out from rotatory vacuumfilter are being return to
mixed juice. The filter cake coming out fromfilter is by-product, containing about
2% sugar is being sent to distillery for bio-composting.
16. Evaporator station:
The clear juice coming from clear juice heater is processed across evaporator
wherewater contents are being separated by evaporation by using exhauststeam
fromprime movers. The hot water coming out fromevaporator is being used at
42. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 41
steam generating plant and for processing. The thick mass coming out from
evaporator called syrup of brix 60 is sent to the syrup sulphitation unit.
17. Syrup sulphitor:
Syrup coming out from evaporator is passed through syrup sulphitor, whereSo2
gas is mixed for removalof impurities. The sulphatic syrup is sent to pan station.
Panstation:
18. A pan boiling:
Sulphited syrup is used for A-pan boiling syrup with melt and AL are being boiled
in batch type pan under vacuum at a temperature of 62°C wherefeed materials
are further thickened called A-massecuite. Itcontains liquor and crystalboth. A-
massecuite sentfor curing in recycling machine through crystallizer. The liquor
comes out fromrecycling machine called molasses which are AL & AH. These.
Molasses is sent back to pan station for further pan boiling.
19. B pan boiling:
The AH molasses is used for B-pan boiling. In B- pan boiling CL molasses is also
used B- Boiling is done in continuous pan, whereagain materials are thickened,
called B massecuite. B- massecuite is sent for curing in continuous machine called
B – foreworker machine after retention in crystallizer. Themolasses comes out
fromB- fore worker machineis called BH- molasses, which is sent back to pan
station for C pan boiling.
20. C Pan Boiling:
The BH molasses is used for C pan boiling. The molasses is further thickened in
continuous pan, called C-massecuitethe C-massecuiteis sent to continuous
machine after retaining in crystallizer, called c-foreworker machinefor separation
of molasses and sugar. The exhaustmolasses is called final molasses, which is sent

for storagein big tanks called final molasses storagetank. Final molasses is bye-
productand is used in distillery for production of alcohols. i.e., Ethanol, methanol
etc.
21. CuringStation:
The A massecuite received fromA- pan cured in recycling machine Where A-
sugar and molasses are separated out Molasses separated called AL & AH. The A-
sugar coming from centrifugalis being graded in graders after cooling and
conveying. The graded sugar defined as M-31, S-31 & L-31, is weight & packed
and conveyed to sugar go-downs.
The B massecuiteafter retaining in crystallizers is being cured in centrifugal
Continuously, wheremolasses and sugar are separated out. B- sugar after melting
in Melter sent to pan floor for A-massecuiteboiling and BH molasses sentto pan
floor for C massecuiteboiling.
The C-massecuite coming out fromc crystallizer arecured in continuous C-fore
machine where molasses coming out formcentrifugal is bye – productis sent to
the storagetank. The sugar coming out fromcentrifugal is again cured in
continuous C- after machine. The molasses coming out, CL is sent to pan floor for
B & C- massecuite boiling. The sugar coming out formmachine after melting, is
sent to pan A – massecuiteboiling.
22. Packinghouse:
The sugar coming out formA centrifugal machine are being cooled, dried and
conveyed through sugar hoppers to sugar grader, wheress wirenetting are
felted. Sugar is sieved as per crystal size, graded as L, M & S and quality sugar
color as 30 & 31. The graded sugar weightautomatically in sugar weigher and
packed in jute and pp. Bags in 100kg & 50kg packing. The packed sugar conveyed
to sugar go downs whereit has been stored as per gradeand quality & dispatched
as per sell of sugar quota.

Visit to the Seksaria Cane FarmManpur:
Mr. Pramod Tomar Ji tells us about the use of organic fertilizers in
sugarcanecrop and also shows us the whole process of preparing organic
fertilizers like Jeevamrit, Beejamrit, Waste Decomposer and Trichoderma.
47. Department of Agriculture, IIAST Page 46
He takes us for a visit to fields and showed us all the sugarcanevarieties
and trail varieties of sugarcanethat are sown in field and given to the
farmers after successfultrails.
He also tells us about inter-cropping in sugarcaneand its benefits.
He also tells us about all the methods of sowing sugarcanecrop.
The class room programmehelped us a lot we have gained too much knowledge.
This RAWE programmereally helps us to know aboutreal practical field
problem and village situation. The knowledgeand skill of both our and
farmers developed
Our theoretical knowledgeconverts in to vastpractical knowledge which
will mostly help us in futurein this sector.
We were very much acquainted with the village condition, their tradition
aur culture, so hopefully we will not face any kind of problem in future
experiences.
Last but not the least, the villagers are loving towards us and also very
supportiveand cooperative. special thanks to all my involved teachers and
groupmates for achieving this kind of experiences.
