Ingredients	"khodagi" - a wooden tool
Details of Innovation	Farmers in these parts normally use rope to tie plough or cart with yoke. The rope takes much friction and as a result of which it may break also. To reduce friction and wear of the rope, farmer Laxmanbhai Soniyabhai Chauriya has devised a tool called "khodagi" which he makes from teak (Tectona grandis) wood. This tool is first used to join yoke with plough or cart and then the rope is tied. This means that "khogadi" bears all the friction instead of the rope. It is a traditional practice and used for last 20 years. According to the innovator, he has learnt this method from his forefathers and about 70% people of surrounding area use this method.
