observed that the demand for processing of pigeon				175
pea , green gram, black gram and Bengal gram is				2100
increasing from the clients. They were initially				25
processing these pulses by use of burr mill already				300
established in their unit. However, the recovery of dall				30
was less and breakage was more. Once he came				360
to KVK and contacted Shri P.P.Shelke, the then				March 08
Programme Coordinator, KVK Karda. He then took				150
him to the Pulses Processing Demonstration unit of				1800
KVK and explained all the details of the mill. He again				20
suggested that there is an agriculture exhibition at				240
Dr.P.D.K.V. Akola during the year 2007 and Shri				20
Agrawal should visit the exhibition to know about the				240
latest prices of machineries being displayed by				April 08
Dr.P.D.K.V. Akola and other manufacturers licensed by				100
Dr.P.D.K.V. Akola.				1200
Shri Agrawal went to Akola and discussed many				20
questions to Shri Bhende, Senior Scientist of AICRP on				240
Farm Implements and Shri Borkar, Associate				15
Professor of Agril Process Engineering Department of				180
Dr.P.D.K.V. Akola. Later on he was convinced that				May 08
the mini Dall Mill designed by Dr.P.D.K.V. Akola is worth				100
for his business. He came to his residence from				1200
Akola.				18
He again contacted with Shri P.P.Shelke, the then				216
Programme Coordinator, KVK, Karda and discussed				18
about his observations made at exhibition. It was later				216
on suggested to explore the possibility of getting a				June 08
second hand Dr.P.D.K.V. Mini Dall Mill from nearby				37.5
area. Many dall mills have been established in the				450
area. Some of them are working but some are lying				5
idle for want of power. Shri Agrawal has already				60
established a 20 H.P. generator to carry on his				6
business since last one year. Therefore, it was				72
planned to have the second hand dall mill from nearby				July 08
district. Shri Agrawal made a survey in villages in				37.5
nearby area and was successful in getting the unused				450
dall mill, which was not running for want of power and				5
other problems in adjacent District of Hingoli. The deal				60
was finalized and machine was purchase with Rs.				6
25000. It was brought to Balaji Griha Udyog in				72
December 2007 and foundation and electrification was				August 08
done. The cost incurred was about Rs. 5000 and the				12.5
total cost of establishment of dall mill was Rs. 30000.				150

were made to popularize the mini dall mill through cable				1200
television and some pamphlets were distributed in				Gross
nearby villages to attract the customers. Since the				9900
mini dall mill is established at Risod, there was need to

ii) Cost of production per unit quantity:-				2400
The rates of pulses processing are Rs. 2per				100
Kg. The actual expenses on processing are				Income (A+B) =21400
electricity used for 3H.P. ,per hour charges are Rs. 5				Expenditure(A+B+C) =5200
unit. The total consumption of 3 units in 1 hour will be				NET INCOME = 16200
there. The amount on electricity use will be about Rs.				It reveals that Rs. 2025 is net income received during
15 per hour. Processing of 100 Kg pulses will be				last 6 months. It may also be seen that the amount
carried out in one hour, from which 200 Rs. Will be				of Rs. 30000/- was invested in the beginning and
recovered.iii) Net Income per unit operation:-				about 54% amount has been recovery during the
Gross Income:-				period of 8 months. The rate of return on investment
Month				is 6.75% per month. Hence it shows that the unit is
Pigeon Pea				successful in operation.
Amount				•iv) Price realized per tone:-
Green Gram				It will be observed that 5.75 tonnes of material has
Amount				been processed during the period mentioned above.
Black Gram				The total amount of 16200 has been received as net
Amount				profit , which indicates that 2817.39 Rs. Per tonne have
February 08				been realized.
700				•v) Natural resources
2100				saved/conserved like soil, water etc.
250				By means of processing by pulses processing mill , the
500				losses of grain due to breakage have been saved.
300				The output has saved at least 23% losses due to
600				correct dehulling and splitting of the grain. The edible
March 08				portion is 23% higher as compared to other traditional
600				practices like use of burr mill and household manual
1800				burr mills.
200				vi) Product quality improvement:-
400				The processed pulses
200				were mostly of Grade 1 called Fataka in traditional
400				market. Second grade called 1 ¼ number pulses
April 08				were less as compared to traditional practice. The
400				commercial value of the product was at least 21%
1200				more than that of processing by traditional way.
200				- 9. Marketing Strategy:- Access to market (Through
400				private, cooperative, contract farming etc.)
150				Market to pulses processing operations is
300				mostly from villagers who are in need of processing
May 08				for domestic consumption. Nearby are is rich in
400				production of pigeon pea, green gram, black gram and
1200				Bengal gram. Therefore, till today the market is from
180				private parties.
360				Export Market:- Although there exists much potential
180				for export of pulses in other countries, the potential has
360				been exploited. Efforts will be made to produce
June 08				export quality organic pulses and will be packed in
150				good presentable packing and then export will be
750				undertaken. Which will take at least one or two years.
50				•10. Factors
100				contributing to success:-
60				Guidance from KVK and the keen interest ,
120				experience of Shri Agrawal are the major factors
July 08				contributing to success.
150				11. Any other relevant information:-
750				Expansion and Future Plans:-
50				M/S Balaji Griha Udyog has another site where the
100				traditional unit of Chakki is in operation. Mr. Agrawal
60				expanded the Dall mill unit during this period and has
120				modified another machine by putting brush rollers inside
August 08				the machine for grain cleaning and polishing. The
50				machine is successfully being used for polishing the
150				grains like wheat and sorghum as per the requirement
30				of the clients. Mr. Agrawal has shown his interest to
60				add specific gravity separator for grain grading service
20				during the harvesting and saling of produce by the
40				farmers. It has been the demand from the farmers
September 08				for grading and polishing of damaged grains due to
50				uncertain rains and damage due to fungal growth on
150				the grains.
