Kanpur: In a ground-breaking step towards reducing post-harvest losses and increasing farmers' income, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur's Ranjit Singh Rozi Shiksha Kendra has developed an innovative solar dehydration technique to enhance the value of farm produce, officials said.
By enabling farmers to dry fruits and vegetables using solar energy, this initiative provides a sustainable solution to market price fluctuations, allowing them to sell their produce at more profitable rates when demand is higher.
