66.  During the lockdown period some farm women
telephonically sought advise regarding post
harvest management of turmeric at domestic
level.
 These farm women were suggested
telephonically to prepare turmeric powder
scientifically as excessive boiling influences the
colour of the end product. Rhizomes should be
boiled for 45-60 minutes for best colour and
typical turmeric aroma .
 2 – 2.5 quintal turmeric powder was prepared
by 5 -6 farmers
 Also, 1320 Anganwadi workers were educated
about Turmeric + Ginger + Lemon as
immunity boosting drink in their respective
villages
Promoted value addition of turmeric

67. Constraints Suggestions
Crop damage due
to wild & stray
animals
The centre needs proper fencing of KVK farm to
protect the seed crops, research trials as well as
demonstrations
Worn out
agricultural
implements
Agricultural implements viz. Tractor, Ferti-seed
drill, Cultivator, Land leveler, Pesto-blast
sprayer, Ultra Low Volume sprayer are urgently
required
Vacant posts Posts of technical staff and supporting staff need
