Processing of the Millets

    Millets are basically processed manually in ancient times, with the development of science and technology, machines have been introduced into the agricultural field, and these machines are used even in the remotest areas and villages. Initially, the machines were heavy and bulky and they were expensive and but in recent times, there has been a lot of development in the machines, there are various types of machines such as machines to cut the crops, machines to separate the grains and the crops, machines to remove the husk, and finally the machines to grind the millets to make flour. All these machines have been invented to reduce manual labour and also to overcome time constraints. The article "Development of Millet De- Husking Machine" illustartes the evolution of the technological development of the machines used for millet de- husking. the article also reflects on the difficulties of the manual labour involved in millet harvesting and processing.

    The below images and videos reflect the complete processing of the millets during harvesting. This reflects the impact of technology on agriculture. Saravanan, the machine owner lives in Elagiri village. The landowners rent his machine to harvest and process the grains on an hourly basis. The below machine is not used to cut the crops, it is used to separate the grains and the hay, the video the amount of manual work done by the labourers along with the machine.
