Suggested Micro Project / Assignment
Micro project
- Prepare models of hydroponics and aquaponics on small scale. (Collect required materials from market and install it on small scale), Prepare a video and upload on your social media profile.
- Collect photographs showing hydroponics, aquaponics and aeroponics components (collect information from distributors, internet) compile information for further installation in fields.
- Collect the essential information’s required for installation of protected cultivation structures. (Collect information from field, library and internet). Prepare a report and submit as assignment online.
- Collect information about sensors (soil, temperature) required for protected cultivation and its availability (collect information from distributors, internet, literatures) compile information for further installation in fields and upload it on social media profile.
- Collect the information of greenhouse instruments available in the market with their specifications (Collect information from literatures, market and internet resources) Make a video and upload it on your social media profile.
- Prepare report on Indian government schemes for installation of greenhouse and shed net to promote precision agriculture.(Such as; Subsidy, Contribution, Eligibility criteria ,costing for 1 Acre etc.)
Assignment
- Prepare models of hydroponics and aquaponics on small scale. (Collect required materials from market and install it on small scale), Prepare a video and upload on your social media profile.
- Determine the crop water requirement and irrigation system operation schedule for selected crop under protected cultivation structures (Use required field data and library resources for solving equations of crop water requirement) and submit online as assignment.
- Prepare a flex chart to explain any one method of greenhouse cooling/Heating for greenhouse installation (Prepare from market and submit it as assignment).
- Identify the different sources of micro nutrients essential for crops under precision farming systems (Collect information from literature and market, prepare chart and submit as assignment).
- Above is just a suggestive list of microprojects and assignments; faculty must prepare their own bank of microprojects, assignments, and activities in a similar way.
- The faculty must allocate judicial mix of tasks, considering the weaknesses and / strengths of the student in acquiring the desired skills.
- If a microproject is assigned, it is expected to be completed as a group activity.
- SLA marks shall be awarded as per the continuous assessment record.
- For courses with no SLA component the list of suggestive microprojects / assignments/ activities are optional, faculty may encourage students to perform these tasks for enhanced learning experiences.
- If the course does not have associated SLA component, above suggestive listings is applicable to Tutorials and maybe considered for FA-PR evaluations.
