A VISIT REPORT ON ULUBERIA ADO OFFICE

14th September, 2017, Uluberia, last Friday, we, as a representative of

‘GURUKUL EDUTECH’ TATA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES, Uluberia,
Howrah, visited ADO office in Uluberia.

PURPOSE:- To taste a practical experience on faem machineries, that

are used in agricultural firm .

We started our journey under our three teachers, TUFAN BAG, SOUVIK
BHATTACHARYA and TANMOY METE. We reached ADO Office at 10:30
a.m. and our teacher divided us in five groups and each contained 15
students.

At first, we entered the room for the soil preparation machineries one
by one group-wise. Teachers helped us to arrange ours and to maintain
the group sequences.

In that room we saw …

● Power tiller

● Drum seeder

● Threshers

● Water pump [diesel]

And many other things.

‘ADO’ Officers helped us and answered our questions with suitable

answers :
Q.1. Does the water pump run with kerosene ?

Ans- No, it runs only on diesel.

Q.2. What will happen if we want to operate the power tiller by

kerosene instead of diesel or petrol ?

Ans- Only new engined or new generation power tillers can be

operated with kerosene.

Other implements we saw …

● Seed treater.

● Fertilizer cum zero tillage.

us in future. It will also help us to maintain farm machineries as well in
case of identifications of different machines. We gathered a basic
knowledge about their functions. It is necessary for us to control them
at least once with our own hands so that it will be better for us in near
future.
