Tawang, Aug 10: The ICAR-Vivekananda Parvatiya Krishi Anusandhan, Almora, in collaboration with KVK Tawang, organized a Maize Sheller Demonstration and Distribution Programme and Farmer-Scientist Interaction at KVK, Tawang on Saturday. The event aimed to promote efficient maize shelling and enhance productivity among local farmers.

Sixteen farmers from nearby villages attended the programme, which featured demonstrations of the VL Maize Sheller, a low-cost, lightweight machine designed for small and hill farmers. The device reduces labor and time involved in maize shelling, posing minimal health hazards.
