    ✅Explanation:
    The Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), located in New Delhi, is renowned for developing the "Pusa bin."

    • Specific features of Pusa Bin storage structure:
    -It is a modification of the ordinary mud storage structure commonly used in villages.
    -To provide moisture-proof and airtight conditions, polyethylene film of 700 gauge thickness has been embedded at the top, bottom, and on all sides of the mud bin.  
    -The embedding process provides mechanical support and safety to the polyethylene film.
    -The construction of outer walls with burnt bricks up to 45 cm height makes the structure rat-proof as well.
    -The bin is constructed with unburnt bricks on burnt bricks or a concrete floor to avoid rat burrowing.  
    -The grain and seed both remain safe in the bin for more than one year with proper precautions.
