1 M/s. NizambadRipening Chamber Shri.Rasheed NIZAMBAD 2 M/s. Sri.Balaji Fruits Shri.P.Subbarao NIZAMBAD

The training program was attended by Shri.Rasheed of Nizamabad Ripening Chamber and Shri.Subba Rao of Balaji Fruits. Both the owners are in fruit business for more than fifteen years. Shri.Rasheed explained trainees various operations that can help better ripening and cost saving to the trainees.Shri.Subbarao explained operations relating to the control of ethylene and release of carbon dioxide. Ripening chambers owners explained to the participants marketing of fruits and clarified doubts of the trainees.

PREPARATION FOR THE SESSIONS:

Exclusively for women groups (SHGs) Self Help Groups (SHGs) are organized resource of manpower in the semi urban and urban

areas, they are organizing group meetings ,maintaining accounts, conducting recovery camps

for Banks, and petty vendors. Banks are financing these groups by giving Rs.50000/- per

women with an intention for developing a business activity as there is no employment to these

people. They are doing petty businesses like Cycle shops, tailoring shops and provision shops.

These businesses are not viable at their level because

The women groups are not well versed with Business Tactics like Middle Men

The trades selected by these women groups are already existing hence they are not

economically viable

Their products cannot compete with branded goods

We thought these groups are the best resource for Ripening chambers operations and

maintenance if properly trained. We chalk out a program to allot 40 % of trainings to Women.

After receiving the approvals for conducting trainings from National Centre for Cold Chain

Development (NCCD), we have contacted women groups and arranged for trainings as per

schedule

While the trainings were sanctioned by NCCD for 35 trainees per batch, the local response from

youth was more. At the registration time approximately 50 candidates showed up to participate.

All the candidates preregistered and last minute showings are also allowed to participate in the

training.

AGENDA: EMPLOYMENT GENERATION

As this is the first program of its kind for women groups, unemployed learned skills suitable for

running ripening chambers. Owners of the Ripening Chambers promised to give employment to

the trained women 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.

Majority of the women expressed interest to start Ripening Chambers with Bank loans and

requested Samagra for further help in construction of ripening chambers and bank loan

procedure, marketinghelp. We assured our services for the benefit of these groups, wealso

promised to these groups to give Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) and supervising the project

without charging fees, we feel that it is our “Corporate Social Responsibility” to help these

groups.

It’s a dawn of new beginning the present 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

Dean College of Agriculture, Telangana expressed the necessity for such programby

which sustainable livelihood can be created to the youth. 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.

Women groups 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.

ASST.COMMIISSSIONER AND INDUSTRY EXPERTS

Shri.Satyanarayana, Project Director, was pleased to preside over the function. He

delivered a message to the participants stating that the use of carbide in ripening of fruits

hither to be discontinued by making popular about the harmful effects of arsenic ,sulphur and

phosphorous which carbide contains.

Sri .Prasad Project Director, Promised every help to establish these groups some

ripening chambers during the current financial year, for which he will help in getting the funds.

He requested the participants to utilize this facility for other horticulture produce also.

Smt.Bharathi, SMC, activated the women groups to for ripening chambers and she

promised help in all possible way to make the projects successful.

Sri.Samuel, ADH, requested for conduct of more number of such trainings in view of

demand, and requested to take up ripening chambers as many as possible as the current

mango season fast approaching

FEEDBACK FROM TRAINEES

The participants expressed overwhelming joy after seeing ripening chambers and

expressed to establish ripening chambers at the earliest if some more sections of trainings

conducted to them, regarding quality of fruit buying and administration, tracking markets etc..

Majority of the groups expressed that they will be taken to the banana gardens for

having tie up with banana growers before establishing ripening Chambers.

More literature in Telugu, and requested a week continuous program to these groups is

helpful in making them thorough with operations and marketing of fruits.

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.

FEEDBACK FROM FACULTY

The faculty opined that the 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.
