Sorghum syrup is a natural product that unlike refined sugar, uses nochemicals in its manufacture. It is a source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zincand vitamin B-6.10The new sorghum hybrid was bred by ICRISAT to be a dual-use crop which simultaneously yieldsacceptable

The key action can bebroken down into several steps2. As the key is initially pressed there is a small amount of freeplay before the beak leather engages the pawl. As the key is further depressed, the hammer armis accelerated by the force exerted by the beak on the pawl. As the hammer is accelerating, thedamper is engaged and raised off the string. The next step is where the hammer is just below thestring and the beak leather disengages from the pawl, and momentum flings the hammer into thestring. The beak catches the front face of the pawl and the hammer is held against

Besides being in charge ofengineering education in the country, the Ministry is responsible for the regulation,promotion, management, and growth of industry and trade.
