India is the World’s second largest producer of Fruits & Vegetables. However, the processing of perishable products in our country is very low, in comparison to the developed countries or developing countries like China, Brazil, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc. One of the main constraints in the growth of processing of fruits & vegetables in the country is non-availability of modern and suitable infrastructure with efficient supply Chain. Consequently, there is very high level of wastage of the fruits & vegetables in the country resulting in the farmer not getting adequate remuneration for his yield. A study conducted by Central Institute of Post Harvesting Engineering Technology (CIPHET), Ludhiana, an ICAR institute, reveals that wastage in various agricultural crops in the country range from 6-18% and the highest loss has been shown in fruits and vegetables.

Ministry of Food processing Industries invites views/ suggestions for reduction of these losses.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 1st February 2015.

The recipients of President's Police medal for Meritorious service ( PPMMS) & Distinguished Service (PPMDS) are given 50% concession by railways after attaining age of 60 yrs.For this purpose an identity card is issued by Min of Home Affairs(MHA) Govt of India.This concession is available only when you book ticket through railways booking office.Govt may consider allowing this concession through online ticket booking also.The passenger should carry the original I/card with them for verifcation.

Our farmers should be made aware of concepts like 'Organic Farming' and there benefits and process. For increasing export potential two things are needed to be done - firstly farmers are needed to learn the marketing skills of their work by using advance methods of cultivation to increase further its production, secondly, being perishable goods, our transit methods should be inclined and dedicated towards transportation of goods at high speeds and low cost linking with villages and farm areas.

It has been found that fruits and vegetables are first plied to economic centers like Delhi and Mumbai from the place of their production and then taken back to those production places and the regions lying in the vicinity for sale and consumption. It has weaken the wholesale markets of comparatively smaller regions. Efforts should be made to localize the use of the produced fruits and vegetable & enhance the structure of the local wholesale markets besides constructing storage facilities.

The national news on All India radio and Doordarshan shall report news based on the facts i.e. the events that have happened. They should not broadcast the views and anticipation which they think can or may happen. Like a particular political party talking to other political party which amy result into something.... The exception being the Weather Predictions regarding natural calamity likely to happen. These institution have the mandate to report the news not their views on any subject
