Summary

INTRODUCTION

AMC was established in 1983 with the vision to realize national

food self sufficiency. This vision placed the Bhutanese farmers at

the core of all agriculture development activities.

AMC aligned itself strategically to contribute towards the

achievement of the vision through enhanced effectiveness and

efficiency in Bhutanese farming practices.

Over the years, AMC has partnered itself with the Bhutanese

farmers to choose, create and innovate agricultural

technologies and farming practices.

It has contributed significantly in the national goal of food self

sufficiency and has also been an instrumental agent in

alleviating drudgery in Bhutanese agriculture.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

Creation and innovation of indigenous farming tools

suitable to Bhutanese farms

Promotion of improved agriculture technology in the

country

Effective and efficient distribution of agriculture

equipments to the farmers

Capacity development of the farmers in the use of

improved technology and farming practices

Act as the regulatory body of quality and safety

ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

The Agriculture Machinery Centre has set up different

sections according to the different activities required and

demanded by the end users especially farmers.

There are four Regional Centres for effective and efficient

delivery of services. Furthermore, activities like research

and development, inspection and testing, training etc.

For sustainability of farm mechanization and agriculture in

Bhutan are all taken care of by setting up sections

accordingly.

Following figure gives a board overview of the Farm

Mechaniztion programme as an overview:

AGRICULTURE MACHINERY DEVELOPMENT CENTRE (AMDC)

Agriculture Machinery Development Centre is one of the technicalsections under Agriculture Machinery Centre. It is mandated topromote farm mechanization programme in the country throughthe following activities

Conduct research and develop in country labour saving

equipment, machines for agriculture

Conduct test, modify and promote third country prototype

machines ,equipment and technology best suitable to our local

conditions

Support private participation in in-country fabrication of farming

equipment /machines through mass fabrication

Provide training to the fabricators and end users in the fabrication

and use of technology

MAJOR ASSIGNMENTS CARRIED OUT DURING TRAINING

Development Centre (AMDC). During this period, I was

involved in four different tasks like research and

fabrication work.

a. Task(1): Paper work on collaboration of AMC and

Technical Training Institutes

b. Task(2): Fabrication of Bhutanese tent stand

c. Task(3): Fabrication of rice mill stand

d. Task(4): Fabrication of roof truss

TASK (1): PAPER WORK ON COLLABORATION OF AMC AND

TTIS

In these case I was asked to work on collaboration of

AMC and TTIs and I gave three presentation.

a. Presentation on AMC

b. Presentation on TTIs

c. Presentation on collaboration of AMC and TTIs

INTRODUCTION OF TTIS

In the 9th FYP, the Department of Human Resources, in an effort to increase access to TVET, extended the RTI by two new institutes RTI east and RTI west, i.e VTI-Rangjung and VTI-Khuruthang. In addition, four new institutes, VTI-Chumey, VTI-Sershong, VTI-Samthang and VTI-Thimphu, were established

However, quality and relevance of TVET delivery has not been similarly enhanced. The focus of our initiatives to increase physical access and regional balance has only resulted in the increase in physical access to TVET, but has not resulted in making the TVET programs more attractive to the youth. In the words of the ADB, the project was efficient, but only partially effective

PROBLEM FACED BY TTIS

Lack of formal framework for institute industry

linkages: Due to the limitations of institute organization

and also weak management, there is lack of a formal

framework for institute-industry linkages and for

publicity of institute programs. Adding to which is the

lack of relevant industries in the vicinity of the institutes.

All these affect the relevancy of training, industry

support and attracting both potential trainees and

employees.

Lack of research and development practices: Currently

due to the duplication of courses amongst the institutes,

the limited pool of instructors is also scattered. This has

hindered the instructors from having active discussions

and sharing of expertise that would have led to

innovative practices. As a result research and

development is not practiced to improve on training

methodologies or to develop products.

PROBLEM FACED BY AMC

1. Work Force

2. Accuracy of Machines

3. Infrastructure

COLLABORATIVE PRODUCT

Agriculture Farm Tools

Spare parts

Small Agriculture Machines

Roof Truss

Gutter

Bukhari

Sheet metal items

MODES FOR COLLABORATION

Exchange Program

Trainees OJT as per curriculum

Provide Raw Materials to Institute for mass production

Give sample product to institute for production

Recruit trainees on contract basis after graduation

Advocacy program

Assign sample product as project

EXAMPLE

Fifteen technical training trainees from Chumey,

Bumthang completed their two months OJT programme

in Agriculture Machinery Centre, Paro from December 1,

2013 till January1, 2014. They were assigned the design,

drawing and fabrication of powered wheat thresher in

Agriculture Machinery Development Centre (AMDC).

As per the work-plan of AMDC, ten numbers of such

machines are to be fabricated for use in wheat threshing

on hiring basis.

The acceptance of OJT programe has been a regular initiative

by AMC solely to expose and upgrade the technical skills of

the trainees. It is also to instill in them the opportunities

available ahead in agriculture mechanization through

production/fabrication of in-country machines and equipment

ACTION PLAN

1. Discuss thoroughly between management

2. Pilot Project for financial year 2014-2015

3. 2014 winter ( DURING OJT)

Benefits to AMC

Can fulfill demands of farmers

Save cost and time

TASK(2): FABRICATION OF BHUTANESE TENT STAND

Objectives:

The main aim and objectives of introducing new stand is

that as of now to erect the tent pole it takes lots of time

and we have to dig hole to insert pole. One main reason

is that sometimes it very difficult to dig hole and erect

the tent.

With this difficulties AMDC section developed new idea

under guidance of Mr. Kinga Norbu and Harka Bdr, they

have developed new tent stand which is portable and

easy to erect. With new stand it will save time, cost and it

can be erected anywhere.

M.s pipe 48mm dia

Nut and bolts of 12mm

Electrodes of 2mm dia

Arc welding Machine

Grinding Machine

Drilling Machine

Standard size: 10.7mx 5.5mx4m

TASK(3): FABRICATION OF RICE MILL STAND

Objectives:

Rice Mill presently imported from other country occupy a

huge area when installed as it is driven with the help of a

flat belt from a prime mover. This causes unnecessary

waste of space for which the modification is carried out. In

this modification, the prime mover especially electric

motor is installed beneath the rice milling machine frame

and hence the flat belt requirement is not there and the shed

space requirement is also drastically reduced. It can be an

alternative solution if a farmer buys only rice mill.

Apply second colour

RAWMATERIAL AND MACHINE USED

Angle iron

M.s sheet

Electrode

Arc welding machine

Hand grinder

Angle cutter

ESTIMATION AND COSTING

Dimension of angle iron=50x50x5mm

Length=1m

Breath= 0.8m

Height =1m

Total length= 6m+3.2m=9.2m=900cm

Since angle has two faces, therefore total length=

920x2=1840cm

Density of mild steel= 7.86 g/cm3

Wastage=5% = 0.05x1840=92cm

Total length= 1840+92=1932cm

Weight= volume X density

Volume= 1932x5x0.5=4830cm3

Weight= 4830x7.86=37963.8g=38kg

Cost per kg=Nu.150

Total cost=38x150=Nu.5700

TASK(4): FABRICATION OF ROOF TRUSS

Procedure in Fabrication:

Collecting raw material

Drawing layout

Cutting material as per drawing

Welding

Grinding

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ROOF TRUSS

ESTIMAION AND COSTING

1. Raw material used is M.s Pipe of outer dia 48.3mm

Tie beam= 1x8m = 8m

Rafter =2x4.168= 8.336m

Vertical post=0.917mx1=0.917

= 2x0.58m=1.16m

=2x0.2242m=0.4484m

Total length= 8+8.336+0.917+1.16+0.4484=19.18m

Wastage= 5% = 0.95m

Therefore total length= 19.18+0.95=20.13m

As per steel standard, for outer dia of 48.3mm, the

weight is 3.61kg/m

Therefore weight = 20.13mx3.61kg/m=73kg

2. Raw material used is M.s pipe of dia 42.4mm

Inclined member = 2x1.2570m=2.514m

= 2x1.074=2.148m

Total= 2.514+2.148=4.662m

Wastage= 5% = 0.05x4.662m=0.2331m

Total length= 0.2331m+4.662m=4.8951m

As per standard weight for outer dia 42.4 is 3.15kg/m

Weight= 4.8951x3.15=15.42kg

Total weight= 73+15.42=88.42kg

Total cost= 88.42x150=Nu. 13263

For 15 roof truss= 13263x15=Nu.198945.
