I am happy to know that ICAR-CIPHET, Ludhiana is organizing a 21 day ICAR sponsored Summer
Schoolon"EmergingPost-HarvestEngineeringandTechnologicalInterventionsforEnhancingFarmers
Income" during September 4-24, 2018.

net profit of the farmers. Enhancing farmer's income is worth serious attentionable issue. This laudable
work could not only improve the well-being of our farmers but can also be a trigger to boost agro-based
manufacturing growth in rural India. Raising farmers income comes in effect to large extent with value
addition and processing of agricultural products (such as cereal grains, dairy, honey, legumes, pulses,
vegetables, fruits, oilseed crops etc.) The post-harvest losses can be minimized to a great extent utilizing
appropriatepost-harvestengineeringandtechnologicalinterventions.

countries. Large as well as cottage level food industries are emerging by adopting the concept of
manufacturing and selling of ready-to-eat meals. They need special processing and packaging to protect

TheGovernmentofIndiaisenvisagingondoublingfarmers'incomeby2022.Cultivationof
cashcrops,integratedfarming(includingagriculture,animalhusbandry,fishries,andalliedsectors,
improving the input-use efficiency and enhancing the yield potential of the land are some of the
areasinwhichwehavetofocusforenhancingthefarmers'income.
On the other hand, we have been observing that India has experienced huge post-harvest
losses due to inadequate post-production processing facilities and technologies. These losses as
estimated by AICRP-PHET centres translates to a whopping Rs. 94,000 crores per annum
(according to 2014 cost estimates).
Reducing these losses and appropriately value-adding them are two major areas that India
needstofocusforenhancingthefarmers'income.
I am very glad that ICAR-CIPHET, Ludhiana is conducting a 21-day sponsored Summer
School on 'Emerging Post-Harvest Engineering andTechnological Interventions for Enhancing
Farmers' Income during 04-24 September, 2018. This is a timely theme and is in line with our
motiveofpopularizingpost-harvesttechnologiesamongallstake-holders.Theparticipantsofthis
Summer School must take with them the knowledge that will be shared in these 21 days, so that
they can spread the knowledge to the farmers, traders, and other stake-holders of their respective
regions.
I wish the Summer School a grand success.
