Training Facilities
Based upon feedback from stake holders,
specialized need based trainings are being conducted for Progressive
Growers, Apni Mandi Farmers, University Teachers, Government
Officials from Punjab and other states. Live demonstrations
in the laboratory form an important part of these trainings
which are primarily focussed on proper harvesting, grading,
waxing, packaging, storage and primary processing to minimize
losses for assured quality and high returns both from domestic
and foreign markets. The main emphasis of the trainings is
on the quality production and maintenance of quality of horticulture
produce throughout the market chain. The centre is equipped
with the latest facilities like well furnished lecture hall,
audio-visual aids, latest reference materials etc. In order
to keep abreast with the changing scenario of postharvest
technology, scientists have also acquired trainings from abroad
in their respective fields.
