- Traditional Indian storage structures include the morai, bukhari, kolthar, mud kothi, muda, kanaj, and kuthla structures. Materials include mud, bamboo, wood, and rope.
- Structures vary in size from 1-50 tonnes capacity. Some common features include cylindrical or circular shapes, conical roofs, and raised platforms to protect grains from moisture and pests.
- Underground structures also exist, like kudhir pits built from calcareous soil and lined with dung or plants. These provide natural insulation.
- Traditional storage has advantages of low cost and durability but also risks from environmental threats without improvements. Conservation can
Harvesting operations are one of the farm field operation in which seeds are separated from the stalk on which they grow. This is done when crops are ripened and reached maturity.
In order to achieve increased yield, the crops that are cultivated should be harvested at appropriate harvest time and moisture content. Both delayed and early harvesting results in decreased yield.
Definition
The operation of cutting, picking, digging or any combination of these for removing the whole crop or edible part of the crop from either under the ground or above the ground is called harvesting.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. Storage is an interim and a repeated phase
.during transit to agricultural products from
.processor to consumer.
Agricultural products need to be stored from
.one harvest to next thus, demanding additional
.carry over as safeguard.
4. TWO METHOD OF GRAIN STORAGE
1. Bag storage
2. Loose in bulk storage
bag and bulk storage
5. In this type of storage structures the grain is generally stored in
bulk.
This type of storage structures having generally capacities
between 1 to 50 tonnes.
The storage of grain is generally done in one of the following
stroage structures in the different rural and urban regions of india
in bulk as well asin bag storage.
6. 1. Morai type
2. Bukhari type
3. Kolthar type
4. Mud kothi type
5. Muda type
6. Kanaj type
7. Kuthla type
8. Metal/steel bin type
9. Bag type
7. • Uses: stroage of paddy, maize and sorghum (jowar)
In the rural areas of eastern and southern regions of
india.
• Capaciy: 3.5 to 18 tonnes.
• These structures are very similar to the shape of an
inverted Once.
• They are placed on a raised platform supported on
wooden or masonry pillars.
8. • This structure consists of circular wooden plank floor
supported on pillars by timber joints. The planks are
joined together with lap joints.
• All around the wooden floor a 22 gauge corrugated
metal cylinder of 90 cm height is nailed to it.
• Inside the cylinder, 7·5 cm diameter ropes made of
paddy straw or similar material are placed, beginning
from the floor level upto a height of 90 cm.
• Then bamboo splits are placed vertically along the
inner surface without any gap between them.
9. • Keeping the bamboo splits in position, the grain is poured in up to the
height of the metal cylinder. By then the bamboo splits are held erect in
position.
• Now the winding of the rope as well as the pouring in of grain are done
simultaneously. This process continues tiIl the required height is
attained. The top most ring of the rope is secured in position by tying to
the lower four rings.
• To provide a smooth surface, about 1 cm thick layer of mud plaster is
applied over the rope. A conical roof is placed on the top of the

• and split bamboo.
• Raised above the ground by wooden
or masonry platform.
11. • The floor of the bin is made by timber planks or by bamboo
splits, plastered over with mud rilixed with dung and paddy
straw. The walls are made of timber or bamboo frame work and
bamboo matting.
• mud-straw plaster is applied on both sides of walls . An
overhanging cone type roof is provided on the cylindrical
structure. The roof is generally made of bamboo framework
and straw.
• In improved bukhari type structure, the basic shape remains
the same but the material and method of construction have
improved to make the structure more safe and durable.
12. • Over the floor, about 5 cm thick mud plastering is provided. The walls of structure
are made of two sets of strong bamboo framework. The inter-space is filled with
mud.
• The walls on both sides are plastered with mud. The roof is conical and made of
bamboo frame-work and covered with paddy straw or similar other thatching
material. The top of the conical roof is covered with 4 to 5 cm thick mud layer to
provide additional protection from rains.
• The structure is raised on timber or masonry pillars to a height of about 1.5 m
from ground level. Rat proofing cones are placed on all the four pillars to avoid rats
entering the storage structure.
13. • Used: store paddy, maize,
sorghum, wheat etc.
• Capacity: 9 to 35 tonnes.
• Both the floor and walls are
made of wooden planks.
• The storage structure is box
like made of wood and raised
on pillars.
14. • Both the floor and walls are made of wooden
• Planks whereas the thatched or tiled roof is placed over it to protect
the grains from the sun or rain.
• The improved kothar structure is generally made of 5cm thick
wooden planks and beams. The walls and floor are made in such a
way that no gap exists between the planks.
• The gabled roof on the top may be made of planks or corrugated
metal sheets and should be sufficiently overhang on all sides.
• The storage structure is raised on timber post to a height of about
1.5m above the ground. Rat proofing cones are provided on all posts
to avoid entry of rats in the structure.
15. • Capacity: 1 to 50 tonnes.
• These kothies are generally rectangular in
shape but cylindrical kothi is also commom in
some region.
• These storage structures are quite commom in
rural areas for storage of grains and other
seeds.
• These are made from mud mixed with dung
and straw.
16. • These are in use for storing grains in the rural areas
of bihar.
• The capacity of muda varies between 1 to 13 tonnes.
• It is being made of “Narai” ropes.
• The shape of muda is cylindrical and being made in
various size.
17. • These storage structure are very common in the rural and of
karnataka and maharashtra for storage of grains.
• The capacity of kanaj varies between 1 to 20 tonnes.
• The shape of storage structue is cylindrical.
• The walls of storage structure are sealed with mud plaster on both sides.
• The roof of the structure is conical and thatched.
• The roof overhang on all sides.
18. • These storage structures are very much common in rural areas

houses.
• Most popular storage system in india
followed by FCI, CWC, state ware housing
. corporations.
• These structures are generally used for the
storage of 25 to 500 tonnes of grain.
21. Advantages
low cost of production simple, flexible, and durable easy to use.
Disadvantages
Can be desstroyed by sharp objects, pests, and rodents.
25. • It is the biggest grain storage structure built by using calcareous soil
containing clay particles . Soil made into a paste like consistency by
adding water is used for building the kudhir.
• Kudhir is built into a circular fashion in a phased manner.
• The entire structure is built on a platform created by arranging 4 or 5
rectangular stone blocks of 3x1x0.1 m dimension
• It creating a moist proof and rodent free environment at the base of
kudhir.
• both inner and outer walls are coated with cow dung slurry and finally
outer wall is washed with lime solution.
26. • Roof for kudhir is erected to protect the structure from direct sunlight
and rainfall. Roof is made up of criss-cross wooden planks and country
tiles.
• Grains are filled into the kudhir through its open top by using bamboo
ladders and covered with gunny clothes and dried palmyra leaf mats.
• An outlet hole is provided at the bottom of kudhir to drain out the
grains as and when needed.
• The hole is usually plugged with gunny clothes or wooden lids.
27. • This is a versatile and low cost structure for grainstorage.
• The pit is dug beneath the ground either in the front yard or backyard
of the house, with square, rectangular or circular shape.
• These pits are mainly used for storing the millets like sorghum, pearl
millet, finger millet and other minor millets. Before filling the grains,
chaffy ear heads, bran or other crop wastes are spread at the bottom
of the pit.
• Then its inner wall is lined with the dried stalks of sorghum or pearl
millet. Some times, paddy straw is coiled into rope and used for lining
the pits in concentric circles.
28. • After lining, pit is filled with grains and covered with rectangular stone
blocks.
• The structure is again covered with gunny clothes.
• and finally with dry sand to avoid moisture.
• Grains are usually stored in these underground pits for about 3-5 months.
• Rainy season is avoided for storage in these pits.
29. • This is simply a mud pot, but bigger in size
• Modappanai is fabricated with clay soil by using a
specialized wheel
• It is smaller, easily movable and used for storing the food
grains for household consumption.
• Capacity: capacity of each modappanai varies from 25-30 kg
• Kulumai and modappanai are usually manufactured by local
artisans called kuyavas having specialized skills
30. • Modappanai are also arranged one over another at a corner of a
room.
• The bottom over modappanai is placed over a layer of sand or a
small ring like structure called uri or pirimanai to provide
anchorage to the pods over the floor to avoid lodging.
• Uri is usually made up of coir or paddy straw with a diameter of 15
cm.
31. •If these indigenous grain storage structures are conserved
and propagated for use among the farming community.
•They would definitely lead to the endogenous
development of rural areas thereby providing a basis of
self sufficiency and self-determination of the common
rural clientele.
