Ludhiana, February 20, 2023: Agriculture is the biggest sector in Punjab, yet the sector and its workforce are not valued. The youth are not attracted to this profession as there is neither guarantee of income nor enough institutions that provide jobs. Agro processing includes all the activities within the agricultural food and natural resource industry involved in the production of food and fiber. But due to lack of awareness students/youth are not getting any benefit. 

Keeping in view the above facts, under ABI project, ICAR-CIPHET Ludhiana conducted Sensitization Program on Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Development through Agro Processing on 20 Feb. 2023 at Malakpur bet, Ludhiana and 50 women participants from weaker section of the society attended the same.

Dr. Ranjeet Singh, PI ABI delivered lecture to sensitize the agro processing activities under ABI and motivated them to embrace agro-processing in future.
