Aseed's
Food Processing & Demonstration Training Center
at Arrah, Bihar targets the rural women falling in the
age group of productive years which are fruitful for
women as after training the trainees in Jamira Village
have started pickle and papad making. Many trainees
in Dhoban and Kurkuri villages have ventured into chilli,
tomato sauce, vinegar and sauce. Women in Barikat have
chosen sattu, chilli and tomato sauce. Residents of
Piparati village have opted for sattu, bari and pickles
and in Arrah the trainees are making jams, jellys and
sauces. Twelve awareness and sensitization camps were
organized at various places to popularize the micro
enterprise spirit among the women. Exposure visits were
organized to popularize the products of the trainees
to give them the market exposure as stated earlier to
reinforce learning by seeing and doing. |

Floriculture
: Changing life style of the people under increased
urban influence has given a better commercial status
to floriculture and its potential as a viable agro business
is being recognised. The diverse agro climatic conditions,
low labour cost and the bio diversity available in India
provides competitive advantage to the country which
permits perennial production of flower varieties in
almost all parts of the country. Currently the major
states where floriculture has been popular are Karnataka,
Tamilnadu, Andhara Pradesh, West Bengal, Maharastra
and National Capital Region. |

and regional topography, necessary infrastructure, trained
manpower, expertise, heritage and natural resources

in this field. In addition, preponderance of indigenous
tribal population and their ethnic groups have contributed
immensely to the diversification of medicinal and aromatic
plants over a period of time. |
