5. 5 Dr. Rajendra Singh Who Is This?

6. Who Is This? 6 Meet Dr. Rajendra Singh, a renowned agronomist. His work in water conservation and soil health has revolutionized small-scale farming. He is also known as the “Waterman of India”.

7. "Now, let us take a closer look at the tools and understand their roles in agriculture." 7 Enlighten

8. 8 Instructions This activity is approximately 20 minutes long. Organize into three groups, with each group assigned a category: Tools, Implements, or Equipment. Research and gather information on at least five items within your assigned category. Create sketches and provide descriptions for each item on separate sheets of paper, using one paper per item. Enlighten

9. 9 Activity Processing This activity emphasizes the importance of understanding each tool's functionality and the technological advancements that have made farming more efficient and sustainable. Enlighten

10. 10 Agricultural Tools manually used and do not require any power source small, portable, and simple common in small-scale farming and gardening

11. 11 Implements tools or devices combined with a power source, often attached to a tractor or animal designed to perform labor-intensive tasks in larger areas increase productivity and efficiency

12. 12 Equipment complex machines that are often motorized large-scale production improving efficiency, and often enhancing the overall quality and quantity of agricultural produce

13. "Next up is Tools' Stations, where you will become more familiar with agricultural tools, implements, and equipment." 13 Enlighten

14. 14 Instructions This activity is approximately 20 minutes long. Set up stations using the group's output from the previous activity. The materials created by each group in the previous activity will be utilized to establish stations. Divide the group in half, with one portion rotating between stations while the other remains as presenters. During the rotation, learners should inquire about features, uses, and any intriguing facts related to the items at each station . Enlighten

15. 15 Activity Processing By interacting at different stations, you learn about various implements and equipment, discover new tools, and gain an appreciation for their specific uses. Enlighten

35. 35 EQUIPMENT BACKHOE LOADER - digging, trenching, lifting and moving materials

36. 36 EQUIPMENT SKID STEER LOADER - loading materials and excavation

37. Innovation 37 One of Dr. Singh's notable contributions is the development of a low-cost, water-efficient irrigation system. Micro-irrigation technology allows water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, ensuring that each plant receives the exact amount of water it needs. It reduce water waste, improve crop yields, and manage their resources more effectively.
