Jeet SinghThe present study involves the preparation of educational package on dyeing using plant sources. The dyes which were used for preparation of package were extracted from bark of kikar, kasood and kashmal, leaves of poplar, banyan and neem and flowers of reinwarditia, jatropha and pili kaner. The information regarding these nine dyes was collected and moulded in form of identified communication tools i.e. pamphlets, booklets, charts, slides and video film. The language of the educational package was kept Hindi to facilitate learning by the audience. Individual pamphlets were prepared for each dye, total nine pamphlets were prepared in which whole procedure of dyeing (i.e.from dye extraction to final mordanting) was described in easy language. Two booklets were prepared by compiling all the text used for pamphlets. Charts were prepared, describing the whole procedure of dyeing in pictorial form. Slides were made with the help of camera. Script was written for the slides. The contents of the script were brief introduction about the natural vegetable dyes and whole procedure of dyeing from dye extraction to final mordanting. Video film was prepared in various steps like script writing, filming and editing. Script was written according to the procedure used for dyeing with natural vegetable dyes. Filming was done outdoor and indoor according to the script. Finally editing was done and commentary and light music was dubbed. Hence educational package was prepared. The educational package was administered to thirty experts. It was evaluated with the help of well structured evaluation performs on the basis of most appropriate, somewhat appropriate and not appropriate scores as 3, 2 and 1 respectively. The results revealed that all the communication tools (pamphlets, booklets, charts, slides and video film) were evaluated to be most appropriate in all the sub sections of each communication tool. Levels of effectiveness were also assessed as low, medium and high. The parameters used for assessment of pamphlets and booklets were title and body text. Charts and slides were evaluated on visual assessment and compatibility whereas video film was evaluated for audio assessment, visual assessment and compatibility. The results revealed that pamphlets were adjudged to be highly effective by 93.33% of the respondents on all the parameters. Booklets were perceived to be highly effective by 96.67% of the respondents on all the parameters of measurements of levels of effectiveness. As far as charts and slides were concerned, these were appreciated by 76.70% and 73.33% of the respondents respectively as highly effective. Video film was assessed as highly effective by the 86.67% of the respondents. So it was concluded from the study that message was well treated and can be used for dissemination of information regarding the natural vegetable dyes among the rural beneficiaries. The package can also be used by the researchers, non-governmental organizations which are working in rural areas and by other educated groups.ThesisItem Open Access Standardization of paper patterns of kurta-pyjama for pre-adolescent boys(CCSHAU, 2006) Bala, Saroj; Khambra, KrishnaThe Present study was conducted for Standardization of Paper Patterns of Kurta-Pyjama for Pre-adolescent Boys. During pre-adoloscence phase, the body contour begins to take shape. So clothes of this age group need special care while stitching. Patterns of kurta-pyjama for six chests and six hip girths were made by using standardized anthropometric body measurement (available in the deptt.). 12 foundation paper patterns were prepared by standard drafting technique of size 28” to 33” for kurta and 31” to 36” for pyjama. The foundation paper patterns so prepared were used for cutting and stitching of twelve kurta-pyjamas. Each kurta-pyjama was tried on 10 adolescent respondents having corresponding chest and hip girth. Hence a total of 60 respondents were selected for trial of stitched kurta-pyjama. During trials for reliability assessment of kurta-pyjama it was found that minor changes were observed for all the sizes of kurta-pyjama. On the basis of trials and modified paper patterns, modified kurta-pyjama were again stitched and retried on three respondents of each size (chest and hip). Hence 12 foundation paper patterns were standardized. To Study the opinion of the women regarding paper patterns and drafting techniques, four trainings each of one week duration in cutting and stitching of adoloscent kurta-pyjama were conducted. Two trainings were conducted in Hisar city and two in villages namely Ludas and Kaimari villages of the Hisar district. The women who had knowledge of garment construction were selected for each training. In each group, there were minimum 15 women and in total 60 trainees attended the trainings. Personal profile of the trainees highlighted that maximum (51.6%) trainees were from the age group of 15-25 years and most of them (40.0%) had received education upto middle, majority of the trainees (71.66%) belonged to medium family size and 51.66% of trainees had monthly income in range of Rs. 3001 – 6000/-. The data regarding achievement motivation highlighted that trainees attended the training with major objective ‘self stitching is the best way to utilize old fabric/left over fabric’ (3.0). The data regarding of the trainees (63.3%) had low opinion level for drafting technique whereas majority of the respondents (76.6%) had high opinion level for paper patterns. The trainees also had high opinion about the training as ‘The training has helped trainees to learn easy method of cutting by using paper pattern’ (3.00). The data regarding symbolic adoption for paper patterns was high because of the facts that trainees have no social inhibition for acceptance of paper patterns in the village’ (2.88). From the results it can be concluded that the adoption of paper pattern for kurta-pyjama cutting would be helpful for the women who has low educational level in cutting and stitching of garments.ThesisItem Open Access Functional clothing for farm workers(CCSHAU, 2005) Makkar, Priya; Saroj S. Jeet SinghMillions of people in our country are dependent on Agriculture for their survival. During various operations of crop cultivation, they usually come across a number of problems that otherwise could be reduced by wearing proper clothes according to the field activities. Here an effort has been made to design and construct functional clothing for the farm workers to solve their problems up to some extent. To achieve the principle objectives of the study, it was conducted in 2 phases. During exploratory phase, base line data was prepared through field study. For this phase, 100 respondents were interviewed to gather information about the problems related to clothing faced by them while performing various farm activities. In second phase, functional clothes were designed and constructed for both male and female farm workers. Depending on the existing dress pattern during field activity & clothing related problems faced by them, one to five designs were sketched for each garments by incorporating required functional features. The sketched designs were evaluated by the judges and one to two designs were selected for construction. For assessment of garments, ten respondents (five males and five females) were selected for trial of garments. The findings highlighted that clothing related problems encountered by male and female farm workers were cut/scratch/itching on uncovered area of body, soiling of clothes, hindrance in activity due to clothes, sticking of dust/particles in hair, inhalation of allergens/particles, problem in breathing with saffa or duppata on nose, pulling off saffa/dupatta, falling of dust and particles in eyes leading to itching or irritation. Cut /scratch or itching on uncovered area of body could be prevented by properly covering the exposed parts of the body by using long gloves, high neck, face-cum-head cover, proper footwear. Using cuff or elastic at wrist and pauncha could prevent soiling and hindrance. Face cover of mulmul at nose level and net at eye level fastened with velcro attached to head cover prevented other problems. To prevent the dermal exposure of skin to pesticide/insecticide during spray two techniques were used for male farm workers. In one case the selected design was layered with paper pasting and cotton lining where as in second case it was starched using rice starch. A cover for spray tank, pair of rubber gloves and rubber boots were provided in addition to functional clothing during pesticide/insecticide application. Assessment of pesticide residue analysis by GLC indicated that layered garment retained negligible amount of pesticide thus decreasing risk of dermal exposure to a great extent. Similarly, cover for spray tank, rubber gloves and rubber boots were assessed highly useful for reducing pesticide exposure.ThesisItem Open Access Development of stencil printing designs for entrepreneurship(CCSHAU, 2005) Sharma, Mugdha; Rose, Neelam M.The present study was conducted to develop stencil printing designs for entrepreneurship. To attain the specific objectives 30 home scientists, 30 home science students, were selected purposively and 30 rural women from Kaimari village were taken randomly. To collect the data preferential choice index and a self structured knowledge inventory was prepared. Results highlighted that five most preferred designs for each of the category of top, lady’s shirt and saree were (1, 3, 5, 7, 8), (3, 4, 7, 9, 6) and (10, 3, 5, 4, 9), respectively. Main reason for the preference of design was suitability. Selected designs with their placements which were preferred most by the respondents were design number 7 placed diagonally from shoulder and design number 8 on placement center front and back. Design number 3 and 7 for lady’s shirt, with placement diagonal from corner with sleeve and for saree design number 3 and 10 having placement border with scattered motif and border, respectively. One best background colour and texture was recorded for each apparel and selected designs with their placement were printed. Thus, six products were developed. Training in the stencil printing techniques was imparted to rural women. Majority of the respondents were from the age group 15-20 years, illiterate, married, housewives, belonged to nuclear family and families with monthly income Rs. 1000-5000. Training was found to be very effective as there was significant gain in knowledge. One-third of the respondents were willing to start their entrepreneurial unit after acquiring knowledge in stencil printing. Results indicated that age, education, and monthly income was negatively and non-significantly related with knowledge acquisition regarding stencil printing technique.
