2. TOPIC
Manmade Resources

3. INTRODUCTION
A resource is a source or supply from which benefit is
produced. Typically resources are materials, energy,
services, staff, knowledge, or other assets that are
transformed to produce benefit and in that process it
may be consumed and made available.
Man made resources is defined as a resource created by
humans. It does not occur naturally and is produced and
consumed by humans. Man made resources are items
or substances that have value to human lives that do
not occur in the natural world.
The major man made resources are
1.Museum
2.Zoo
3.Botanical Garden
4.Agrifarms
5.Hospital
6.Krishi Vinjaan Kendram
7.Research Centres under state & central government

4. 1. MUSEUM
A museum is a building where a large number of
interesting and valuable objects, such as works of
art or historical items,are kept, studied, and
displayed to the public.It is an institution that cares
for (conserves)a collectionof artifacts and other
objects of artistic, cultural, historical,or scientific
importance. It is distinguished by a collectionof
often unique objects that forms the core of its
activities for exhibitions,education, research,etc.
... The process by which an object is formally
included in the collectionis called accessioning and
each object is givena unique accessionnumber.
 Importance of Museum
The traditional role of museums is to collect objects
and materials of cultural, religious and historical
importance, preserve them, researchinto them and

5. present them to the public for the purpose of
education and enjoyment.
2. Zoo
A zoo is a facility in which animals are housed
within enclosures, displayed to the public, and
in which they may also breed. The term
"zoological garden" refers to zoology, the study
of animals, a term deriving from the Greek
zōon and lógos. A zoo is a facility in which are
housed within enclosures, displayed to the
public, and in which they may also breed.

6.  Importance of Zoo
Many zoos see their primary purpose as breeding
endangered species in captivity and reintroducing
them into the wild. Modern zoos also aim to help
teach visitors the importance on animal
conservation, often through letting visitors
witness the animals firsthand.They teach people
about the importance of nature. They provide
scientists with opportunities to study wild
animals. And they are also important because
thousands of species of wild animals are in
danger of dying out. Saving these endangered
species is one of the purposes of modernzoos.

7. 3.Botanical Garden
A botanical garden or botanic garden is a
garden dedicated to the collection, cultivation
and display of a wide range of plants labelled
with their botanical names.A botanical garden
or botanic garden is a garden dedicated to the
collection, cultivation and display of a wide
range of plants labelled with their botanical
names. It may contain specialist plant
collections such as cacti and other succulent
plants, herb gardens, plants from particular
parts of the world,and so on.

8.  Importance of botanical garden
The Role of Botanic Gardens in Plant
Conservation. ... Horticulture and cultivation
skills allow us to grow plants that might be lost
in nature, which means that species diversity
can be conserved in the gardens, but also allows
us to consider restoration and rehabilitation of
degraded habitats.Biodiversity is Being Lost at
an Unprecedented Rate. ... So, plant
conservation is an essential component of
efforts for biodiversity conservation. As plants
are at risk of extinction, in all parts of the world,
their conservation is a priority. Species
extinction (where a species ceases to exist) is a
normal process.

9. 4. AGRIFARMS
Agriculture is the cultivation and breeding of
animals, plants and fungi for food, fiber,
biofuel, medicinal plants and other products
used to sustain and enhance life.
Agrifarm is a new co-operative
form of production and transport of
agricultural products. They are other form of
botanical garden. It plays a vital role in
educational field.

10.  Importance of Agrifarms
Agrifarms mainly offered to those
students who wish to have a career in
agriculture. It provides interest to
agriculture. It create agricultural
awareness and provides agricultural
education.

11. 5. HOSPITAL
A hospital is a health care institution providing
patient treatment with specialized staff and
equipment. The word hospital comes from the
Latin “hospes”, signifying a stranger or
foreigner, hence a guest. They are usually
funded by the public sector, by health
organizations, health insurance companies
including direct charitable donations.
Historically hospitals were often founded and
funded by religious orders or charitable
individuals and leaders.

12.  Importance of Hospitals
A hospital is a health care institution providing
patient treatment with specialized medical and
nursing staff and medical equipment. ... The
medical facility smaller than a hospital is
generally called a clinic. Hospitals have a range
of departments and specialistunits.

13. 6. Krishi Vignaan Kendram
The Education Commission (1964-66)
recommended that a vigorous effort be made to
establish specialized institutions to provide
vocational education in agriculture and allied fields
at the pre and post matriculate levels to cater the
training needs of a large number of boys and girls
coming from rural areas, it is the krishi vignaan
kendram . The Commission, further, suggested that
such institutions be named as ‘Agricultural
Polytechnics’. Krsihi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) are
agricultural extension centres created by ICAR
(Indian Council for Agricultural Research) and its
affiliated institutions at district level to provide
various types of farm support to the agricultural
sector. The first KVK was established during 1974
(Pondichery) and has grown as a largest network in
the country.

14.  Importance of Krishi Vignaan Kendram
The KVKs are evolving as the future grass root
level institutions for empowering the farming
community. KVKs have made dent and has
become part of decentralized planning and
implementation instrument to achieve desired
level of growth in agriculture and alliedsector.
Role of Krishi Vignaaan
Kendram

15. On-Farm Testing:
Each KVK operates a small farm to test new
technologies, such as seed varieties or
innovative farming methods, developed by
ICAR institutes. This allows new
technologies to be tested at the local level
before being transferred to farmers.
Front-line Demonstration:
Due to the KVK's farm and its proximity to
nearby villages, it organizes programs to
show the efficacy of new technologies on
farmer fields.
Capacity Building:
In addition to demonstrating new
technologies, the KVK also hosts capacity
building exercises and workshops to
discuss modern farming techniques with
groups of farmers.

16. Multi-sector Support:
Offer support to various private and public
initiatives through its local network and
expertise. It is very common for government
research institutes to leverage the network
of KVKs when performing surveys with a
wide range of farmers.
Advisory Services:
Due to the growing use of ICT, KVKs have
implemented technologies to provide
farmers information, such as weather
advisories or market pricing, through radio
and mobile phones.

17. 7. RESEARCH CENTRES UNDER STATE
AND CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
A research center is a facility or building dedicated
to research, commonly with the focus on a specific
area. There are over 14,000 research centers in the
United States. Centers apply varied disciplines
including basic research and applied research in
addition to nontraditional techniques. However, a
research center should not be confused with a
research institute. Additionally, today many
universities are establishing research centers to
conduct a specific research or education activity.
Over a hundred of research centers can be
established in one university. This number certainly
differs from a university to a university, but most of

18. the research centers there do bring something to
the scientifictable.

20. CONCLUSION
There are several community resources for
science learning. Man made resources like
museum, botanical gardens, zoo, agrifarms,
hospitals, research centres create natural
awareness to students. Thus play vital role in
education. Such resources create scientific
temper, interest and curiosity in pupils.
Science teachers have important role in the
process of familiarizing manmade resources to
the students. As most of them create a new
world of science.
