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, Dharwad, State Bank
of India, Regional Business Office, Region I, Hubli, Karnataka Vikas Grameena Bank, Dharwad,
Senior Asst. Director,Information and Public Relations, Dharwad 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 Kannada newspapers on
31st July 2014 and 1st 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. The existing ripening units in Bailhongal, Belgaum and
Tadas Cross, Hubli and interested persons were contacted over mobile phones. Karnataka Vikas
Grameena Bank, Dharwad, Sufala Mango Growers’ Association, Dharwad and Dr. S. M.
Hiremath, Subject Matter Specialist, Krishi Vikas Kendra, Saidapur Farm, Dharwad co-ordinated
effectively with the organizers to ensure participation by all concerned in the industry. Shri.
Suryakanth Ganga, General Manager, Karnataka Vikas Grameena Bank, Dharwad took active
interest in the training programme and advised all branches in the taluk to ensure participation
by farmers financed by them. The concerned Branch Managers were also advised to participate
in the programme. Safala Mango Growers’ Groups were contacted and requested to advise their
members to participate in the programme. Banana traders purchasing ripened banana fruits
from M/s. Shivananda Agro Industries, Ripening Unit, Bailhongal were contacted personally and
advised to participate in the training programme.
While the training programme was sanctioned by NCCD for 35 trainees per batch, the local
response from farmers, traders and youth was more. Totally more than 70 farmers, traders and
youth attended the programme. Some participants who came late on account of heavy rains
could not register their names. Many participants had come from far off places like Harihar,
Haveri and Mundargi.
AGENDA: EMPLOYMENT GENERATION
As this is the first program of its kind in 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. Three
employees of M/s. Shivananda Agro Industries 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
Dr. D. P. Biradar, Vice Chancellor, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad was contacted
by the organizers and invited to inaugurate the training programme. Expressing his inability to
participate in the programme on account of casual round of selection of candidates for post
graduate studies, Dr. Biradar 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 University will be deputed to the programme to
educate the participants. Dr. Sadhani, Retired Officer from Agriculture Department and
Secretary, Sufala Mango Growers’ Association, Dharwad has been actively involved in forming
Groups of Mango growers in the taluk and involved all the growers in the training programme.
He assured all support for the programme. 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
Shri. Suryakanth Ganga, General Manager, Karnataka Vikas Grameena Bank, Dharwad
who was the Chief Guest of the inaugural function appreciated the efforts of the organizers. He
opined that the programme is very helpful to the bankers in appreciating the activity and
appraising the proposals received. He mentioned that the consumers are not aware of the
harmful effects of unscientific ripening methods and need to be educated. He suggested that an
exclusive programme to educate the public at large be taken up to educate them on
encouraging ethylene ripened fruits.
Shri. Gopal Bilagikar of SEERD, Hubli, an NGO 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. Dr.
Savanurmath, President of Sufala Mango Growers’ Association wanted the organizers to
examine the financial viability of the unit for ripening mango fruits as the crop was highly
seasonal. Many mango and banana growers from Haveri and Hangal wanted a similar training
programme to be conducted there as there was large area under these crops and the farmers
could not come to Dharwad.
Shri. Suryakanth Ganga suggested the entrepreneurs to come forward to take up
ripening infrastructure for which he is ready to sanction any number of loans from his bank. He
also stated that there is no death of funds for financing horticulture projects.
Shri. Bhupathi Budihal mentioned that the project started at Bailhongal showed that such
projects will succeed even in rural areas provided all the concerned players in the activity are
effectively involved. He explained the efforts made by the unit in effectively marketing the
scientifically ripened fruits in Bailhongal market.
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. More number of trainings on other
aspects like cold chain management, marketing tie up should also be conducted.
Small stickers on the fruit trays stating that the fruits have been naturally ripened and
calcium carbide has not been used as done by one of the ripening units in Bailhongal should be
given lot of publicity.
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 University of
Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad 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 Dharwad 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.
The ripening unit was exclusively for banana. Other units where other fruits were being
ripened should have been shown to participants, at least through pictures.
