Training On Fruit And Flower Processing For Women

Utkarsh, the Vocational training center run by SSM is working for the Empowerment of Rural youth,particularly Women. Utkarsh has been running a food processing unit professionally from last year. We used to process manually initially, but now seeing the success we have updated the unit with a Multi-processing machine.

The machine is invented by Mr. Dharamveer Khamboj, a Rekshaw puller turned an awardee if National Innovation Foundation. Mr. Dharmaveer had not only ventured to train and empower more than 5000 women around the nation so far, but also invented such highly effective Multi-Purpose Processing Machines. His efforts are recognized and was felicitated by Hon. President of India.
Mr. Dharamveer himself came here in the campus to install the machine and guide how to use it efficiently.

Seeing the need and scope in food processing industry in the area, we are conducting training programs for women through the KVK run by SSM. So, we conducted a three day training program facilitated by Mr. Dharamveer Khamboj. The program included, Making of a range of cosmetic and edible products out of Aloevera, Roses, Tomatoes and other fruits and flowers. In an overwhelming response, around 50 women took part in training. UTKARSH will support them in establishing their own cottage industry.
