| Description: | ||
One of the major activities in nurseries, bag filling, is a tedious and expensive task. One had to use the scoop several times to fill one bag, thereby consuming time and involving extra labour. Khimjibhai, retired School teacher wanted to speed up the process so as to increase daily wages of poor women engaged in this task. His meticulous observation of the process yielded a simple yet intelligent idea, which gave birth to ‘Kittanal’. It is a piece of hollow PVC tube with one end slightly broadened and the other end cut at 450 to the axis. The tapered end is inserted into the polythene bag and held over the PVC tube and scooping the other end in the soil fills the bag in one scoop. | ||
