PREPARATION FOR THE SESSIONS: After receiving the approvals for conducting trainings from National Centre for Cold Chain
Development (NCCD), we contacted the Deputy Director of Horticulture, Kolar, Senior Assistant
Director of Horticulture, Malur, State Bank of India, Malur and Pragathi Krishna Grameena Bank,
Malur and Senior Asst. Director, Information and Public Relations, Kolar to give wide publicity
for the training and advise farmers, traders and unemployed youth to benefit from the
programme. Information on the training programme was published in several local and national
Kannada newspapers on 27th and 28th August 2014. Pamphlets in Kannada were printed and
supplied to all the above offices. Lists of farmers who had been financed for growing banana
and mango in more than 5 acres was obtained and all were contacted over their mobile phones
and requested to make use of the training programme. Senior Asst. Director of Horticulture,
Malur deputed his Horticulture Assistants to more than 43 villages to contact the mango
growers and traders and unemployed youth to attend the programme. Mango Growers’ Groups
were contacted and requested to advise their members to participate in the programme.
While the training programme was sanctioned by NCCD for 35 trainees per batch, the local
response from farmers, traders and youth was overwhelming. Totally more than 85 farmers,
traders and youth attended the programme. We had to make emergency arrangements to seat
the trainees as the room capacity was only 60. Many farmers had to be sent back with
assurance to conduct one more programme.
AGENDA: EMPLOYMENT GENERATION
As this is the first program of its kind in this part of the State, unemployed youth learned skills
suitable for running ripening chambers. Owners of the Ripening Chambers promised to give
employment to the trained persons in due course of time.
These trainings are planned on written demand of owners of Ripening Chambers infrastructure,
who also assured employment opportunity to the trainees. The prospective employers ie:
ripening chamber owners allowed practical trainings in their facility and actively participated
with the trainees, and clear the doubts of trainees during the practical session. Two employees
of M/s. Limras Fruit Co, Kolar also participated in the training programme as they did not have
practical experience in ripening of fruits.
It’s a dawn of new beginning the newer generation is beginning to understand the importance
and benefits of the industry. We hope to see an upcoming change in due course of time.
Actual employment generated will be monitored and reported to the NCCD
FEEDBACK FROM AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY AND HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENT
The Director, Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Hessaraghatta, Bangalore was
contacted by the organizers and requested to depute a senior official involved in post-harvest
handling of fruits to the programme. The Director appreciating the efforts approved
participation by Dr. D. V. Sudhakar Rao, Principal Scientist and to inaugurate the training
programme. Expressing his inability to participate in the programme, Director, IIHR expressed
the necessity for such program by which sustainable livelihood can be created to the youth and
appreciated the efforts being made by the organizers. He advised that experts from the
Institute will be deputed to the programme to educate the participants. Dr. S. V. Hittalmani,
Retired Additional Director of Horticulture, Bangalore who was the Chief Guest opined that this
program helps in creating awareness about the ill effects of carbide use besides raising the
issue of safe and scientific ripening chambers for fruits.
Youth who undergo this training program would be able to handle the ripening chambers in
scientific and systematic way. Moreover they themselves can successfully become potential
entrepreneurs by talking up ripening chambers as agriculture allied activity. Thereby they are
able to create employment and also become job providers rather than job seekers.
This program would help representatives of the ripening chambers to know the scientific and
systemic approach to handle their existing units. Thereby able to cut down the lapses in
handling and save the quality of the fruit and gain economical benefits. The unskilled workers
from the ripening chambers would be the best benefitted as they able to understand the
scientific principle behind every operation they use to perform earlier. Even a small skill they
learnt during the program would help them to handle the existing unit with more science and
precision. This in long run would help the unit to gain efficiency and quality output for
sustainable economical benefits which would trigger entrepreneurial activity in this direction
which has direct bearing on employment generation.
FEEDBACK FROM BANKERS AND INDUSTRY EXPERTS
Branch Manager, Pragathi Krishna Grameena Bank, Malur and State Bank of India, Malur
appreciated the efforts of the organizers. They opined that the programme is very helpful to the
bankers in appreciating the activity and appraising the proposals received. They mentioned that
the consumers need to be educated.
Shri. Anand, Senior Asst. Director of Horticulture, Malur mentioned that the programme
is an eye opener for bankers and every banker should come forward to encourage and finance
setting up of scientific ripening units as it will help in improving the health and life of people. He
requested the participants to motivate the traders for not using the carbide in mango ripening.
He readily consented to extend all facilities to farmers and bankers in setting up ripening units
in the taluk. Shri. Mohd. Shoab of Limras Fruit Co., Kolar requested the organizers to examine
the financial viability of the unit for ripening mango fruits as the crop was highly seasonal.
FEEDBACK FROM TRAINEES
The participants expressed happiness about the training programme and found it very
useful. Most participants felt that the information given by experts and faculty were
comprehensive and complete. The participants stressed that government should implement the
ban on carbide usage in ripening of fruits more effectively. They felt that the drought conditions
prevailing in the taluk may not provide ideal opportunities for setting up ripening units
immediately. They were hopeful that the irrigation programme proposed by the government
from Varthur stream would help Malur farmers.
All the participants opined that the visit to the ripening unit was extremely useful. Many
participants expressed happiness that Department of Horticulture had taken keen interest in the
programme and gave good publicity for the programme through pamphlets, visits by
Horticulture Assistants. The press release in the local newspapers were also helpful to
participants in attending the programme.
The participants appreciated the contents of pamphlets printed by the organizers for
giving publicity to the training programme. A summary of the harmful effects of carbide ripened
fruits, aspects of ethylene ripening and schedule of training were given in the pamphlets.
An approach must also be initiated for awareness, for a basic start by printing of
pamphlets and posters in market areas for bringing awareness. The booklet on working of
ripening chambers in Kannada was appreciated by the experts from the Indian Institute of
Horticultural Research, Hessaraghatta and also by the participants who opined that the booklet
is very useful.
The training program is practical hands on experience and very helpful in understanding
the operations of ripening chamber and how the Government is actively available to support the
cause. The efforts made by Samagra in organizing the programme at Malur, main mango area
in the state, were appreciated by all.
FEEDBACK FROM FACULTY
The faculty opined that the then general public should be educated that ethylene
ripening is similar to natural ripening and hence the point may be highlighted.
To encourage purchasing ethylene treated fruits incentive for ethylene treated fruit may
be sanctioned by government NHB/NHM to the penultimate consumer.
The smaller ripening chambers about half metric ton with 70% subsidy may be
formulated and approved to meet the requirement of small fruit traders/ small stake
holders
One session on cultivation aspects of banana and preharvest preparation of fruits for
ripening was requested.
Practical demonstration of other types of ripening should have been included in the
training programme.
Most farmers do not ripen the fruit. They give the orchard on contract to wholesale fruit
merchants who harvest the fruits and ripen them in their own way. Such people need to
be educated.
