Food Processing |
With our
support, a partner CBO, Himalayan Gramin
Vikas Sanstha-HGVS, have set up a small
fruit processing unit at Ukhimath (district
Rudraprayag) as an income augmentation
measure for the villagers, especially women,
affected by the June 2013 Kedarnath
disaster. This has led to a better
utilisation of local fruit produce, reducing
wastage and improving returns.

A youth group in Galla village in the
Ramgarh area (district Nainital) has also
been helped in setting up a small fruit
processing unit.
The USNPSS has provided support in setting up an agricultural produce processing and marketing centre at Badhani village in Chamoli district. The centreis to process millets and grains grown in surrounding villages to provide a facility to farmers. Farmers in nearby villages sell their surplus produce to get better price and immediate payment from the centre. Since surplus produce of millets, grains and local pulses is available in the valley, the centre is running well. Neatly packed food items are sold locally. The buyers are urban people who prefer local grains, mainly government employees including school teachers who commute to the cities every day.
