EMPLOYMENT GENERATED

As this is the first program of its kind, unemployed 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.

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.

We note to inform the employment generated to the trained people.

FEEDBACK FROM AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY

Associate Dean ANGRAU Hyderabad expressed the necessity for such program by 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.

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 TRAINEES

The participants expressed that government should implement the ban on carbide usage

in ripening of fruits

They opined that government organizations, NGo’s, Self Help groups (SHG’s),Consumer

protection Associations should be involved in conducting campaigns in educating the general

public about harmful effects of carbide and advantages of ethylene ripening.

An approach must also be initiated for awareness, by printing of pamphlets and posters

in market areas for bringing awareness. The booklet on working of ripening chambers in Telugu

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.

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 to 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
