1 M/s. Bilal Fruit Company,Bandlaguda Ripening Chamber

Shri.Syed Sameer Bandlaguda

Mango ripening requires experience unlike Banana. Mango requires optimized standards for

ripening as well as minimizing the costs. Ripening mango without proper experience results in

damage of fruits and unfit for consumption.

Very few ripening chambers are well versed with the standards of ripening efficiently. Ripening

mangos in the Ripening chambers with ethylene treatment are having good demand in the

metro markets.

Shri.Syed Sameer, owner of the Bilal Fruit Company Ripening Chamber is an enthusiastic in

exploring the techniques that best suited for mango ripening. In view of large category in

mangos require variety specific practices. We cannot keep same set of standards for other

varieties. Standards meant for Banginapally variety differ from that of Imam Pasand and other

varieties; hence mango ripening is continuous process of identification new techniques till such

time the practices are standardized.

Shri.Syed Sameer one such entrepreneur who worked hard and standardized the practices of

ripening on mango for Banginapally, Imam pasand, Juicy varieties etc..

PREPARATION FOR THE SESSIONS:

Vocational trained in agriculture and unemployed Horticultural Universities are offering graduation and post graduation courses in Horticulture

and are preferring jobs in the administration and technology transfers. Most of these do not

know the practical field operations in the horticultural value chain.

Horticultural value chain is having enormous potential in creation of wealth, leading to

employment generation. Skill development and hands on experience in Horticultural value chain

is the need of the hour.

Noting this, Samagra identified those undergone vocational training in agriculture are preferred

for offering the training. The training is useful to them to get the gainful employment, as they

are placed in between the academic cadres of graduates.

The trainees are actively participated and learnt the techniques.

Samagra identified these unemployed are the best resource for Ripening chambers operations

and maintenance if properly trained.

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

Development (NCCD), we have contacted unemployed 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 more 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 vocational trained unemployed, trainees 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 clarified the doubts of trainees during the practical session.

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

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

procedure, marketing help. Samagra assured services for the benefit of unemployed, also

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

without charging fees, Samagra feels that it is “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 Number of new ripening chambers opened by these groups will be reported to the NCCD

FEEDBACK FROM LOYOLA ACADEMY ( AGRICULTURE) AND PROFFESSOR JAYASHANKAR AGRICULTURAL UNIVARSITY

TELANGANA

Shri.R.Subhash Reddy,Principal,Agricultural College,Proffessor Jayashanka Agricultural

Univarsity,Telangana ,expressed that such programs in the value chain is the need of the

hour.Shri.Reddy ,suggested the trainees to learn the skills and apply in the practical life instead

of waiting for the jobs.

Dean College of Agriculture, Loyola Academy expressed the necessity for such program

by which sustainable livelihood can be created to the unemployed. 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.

Unemployed 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 taking up ripening chambers as business activity. Thereby they are

able to create employment and 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. There by able to cut down the losses 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.

INDUSTRY EXPERTS

Shri.Syed Mustafa detailed the importance of income generating activities to the

unemployed. There is a potential of ripening chambers for mangoes and requested the

unemployed to take up mango ripening in the coming season

Shri.Shiva Shankar was pleased to preside over the function delivered a message to the

participants stating that the trainees to sustain economically by shifting to Ripening Chambers.

Syed Bilal of S.Bilal fruit company stated that the government has to come with new

norms with liberal terms in releasing of grants for the fruit ripening industry.

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 trainees expressed a field visit to the Mango gardens for having tie up

with mango 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.
