Step-by-Step Instructions
Set Initial Mukadam Loan
Key in initial family loan: '₹2,000 borrowed'.
Weigh Sugarcane Harvest Bundle
Place sugarcane bundle on the load scale platform. Scale reads '4.2 kg (4,200 grams)'.
Calculate Gross Harvest Value
Terminal computes 4.2 kg × ₹800/kg = ₹3,360 total harvest value.
Deduct Loan & Issue Payout
Terminal computes ₹3,360 - ₹2,000 loan = ₹1,360 Net Cash payout! OLED prints digital receipt.
Why It Works & Notes
On the Move Again explores seasonal migration of sugarcane farming families, agent loans (Mukadam), and financial budgeting. Weighing sugarcane bundles and calculating net earnings (Harvest Value - Loan = Net Cash) teaches real economics.
