University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru

University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, a premier institution of agricultural education and research in the country, began as a small agricultural research farm in 1899 on 30 acres of land donated by Her Excellency Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore and appointed Dr. Lehmann, German Scientist to initiate research on soil crop response with a Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture. Later under the initiative of the Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal which offered Licentiate in Agriculture and later offered a diploma programme in agriculture during 1920. The School was upgraded to Agriculture Collegein 1946 which offered four year degree programs in Agriculture. The Government of Mysore headed by Sri. S. Nijalingappa, the then Chief Minister, established the University of Agricultural Sciences on the pattern of Land Grant College system of USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences Act No. 22 was passed in Legislative Assembly in 1963. Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India inaugurated the University on 21st August 1964.

    SPECIAL FINISHES TO IMPROVE RESILIENCY AND HAND-FEEL OF THE NATURALLY COLOURED COTTON KHADI FABRIC
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-01-06) SUJATA, H. MULASAVALAGI; SHAILAJA, D. NAIK
    The present investigation entitled "Special finishes to improve resilienc y and hand-fee l of the naturally coloured cotton khadi fabric " was carried out during 2003-05 at Dharwad. The naturally coloured cotton khadi fabric of brown variety DDCC-1, Gossypium arboreum was selected for the present study . This Khadi fabric was subjected for crease resistant , enzyme and softener finishes and the treated samples were then assessed for physical and funct ional propert ies. There was slight increase in yarn count , cloth count , thickness; and considerable increase in bending length as well as crease recovery angle , when fabric treated with crease resistant finish, because of cross-linking of cellulosic chains. The enzyme treated test samples showed increase in yarn count , cloth count and drapability where as other mechanical and funct ional properties remained almost unaltered. The cationic and silicone softe ners during mechanical agitati on removed the protruding staple fibres , thus making the yarn both softe r and finer. Because of improvement in softness , there was positive impact of fabric propert ies like weight, thickness, bending path and crease recovery angle. Significant improvement in drapability and resistance to pilling was also noticed. However, cation ic treated samples showed better results than the silicone softe ner.
