DEVELOPMENT OF E-CONTENT ON ANCIENT INDIAN METALLURGY AND MODERN PROCESS METALLURGY

1. DEVELOPMENT OF E-CONTENT ON ANCIENT INDIAN METALLURGY AND MODERN PROCESS METALLURGY K. K. SINGH VIKAS JINDAL DEPARTMENT OF METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BANARAS HINDU UNIVERSITY VARANASI

2. OBJECTIVE • To develop video documentary and e-content on the traditional Indian metallurgical process ( like ancient iron making , zinc production at Zawar mines Rajasthan, Gold-sand picking and its treatment of Swarnrekha river Jharkhand etc) -To provide a scientific and technological basis of these traditional process and compare merits of these processes with modern metallurgical processes. -Explore commercial viability of traditional Indian metallurgical process.

3. OBJECTIVE 2. To develop e-content on modern extraction processes of various metals. Blast furnace diagram Blast furnace

4. JUSTIFICATION AND RELEVANCE • Inspired by one the objective of ICT mission “Deriving lessons from our ancient knowledge base” , this project will • Provide a platform for generation, sharing and poolingof all the e-contents related to “Ancient Indian Metallurgy” • Make available supporting teaching materialfor the following courses taught in various technical institution and universities all over India. • “extractive metallurgy” and similar courses • “history of science and technology of India” or similar courses

5. JUSTIFICATION AND RELEVANCE • Virtual visits to the all type of metallurgical plants , which otherwise practically difficult. • Provide reference learning materialto the students and learner, who are not registered in any formal technical institution like AMIE/IIM students • Create infrastructurein the Banaras Hindu University for development of e-content , which will first and unique of this kind and may be used further as • for similar projects. • To train and support to learners/workers in the university.

6. APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY • Constitution of core committeeof the subject experts on the selected area and compilation of their ideas. • Literature and field researchfor preparation of a valid document and script • Script writing and Shooting of Digital film on the scripted document • Animation based on the content of digital film • Workshop and Interviews of the subject experts on the digital films. • Incorporation of all the multimedia content (text, video, audio, animation) in very interesting and entertaining manner. • Screening of film to select audience After Editing and post production video • Final touchwill be given on the basis of response and feedback from the audience the final edited version of video will be produced.
