M/s. Nellore Ripening Chamber
Shri.Chandrasekhar
Ripening chamber is
Nellore supplying fruits to Nellore local
and nearby towns like Atmakur and
Gudur
Shri.Chandra Sekhar doing fruit trading since 15 years .Ripening Chambers situated in the surroundings of Nellore. Only two ripening units are in Nellore. These two catering to the nearby towns like Gudur and Atmakur.As there was no ripening unit in Gudur women groups were taken to Nellore where the training is given to them
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 40 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, marketing help. We assured our services for the benefit of these groups, we also
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, Andhra pradesh 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.
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. There by 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.
GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY EXPERTS
Shri.CS.Rao, was pleased to preside over the function. He delivered a message to the
participants stating that he will put forth every effort to make these to sustain economically by
shifting to Ripening Chambers. The subsidies from the National Horticulture Board will be
arranged for the eligible units
Shri.Yesu Ratnam promised to arrange places in municipal areas for retailing of Banana
Sri .Ankayya, DMC, 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.Sudha, Samagra activated the women groups to for ripening chambers and she
promised help in all possible way to make the projects successful.
Town Level Federation (TLF) groups 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.
