Khonsa, Jul 24: Tirap Deputy Commissioner, Ira Singhal, distributed five large cardamom mobile solar dryers to beneficiaries from the villages of Hunkan, Moktowa, Lower Kolam, New Lainwang, and Raho. The distribution took place under the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) scheme for 2023-24, in the presence of DHO Khonsa, Projjwal Dev, and other staff members.
DC Tirap instructed the beneficiaries that although the solar dryers were issued in individual names, they should be utilised collectively by all farmers in the village for drying purposes. She also advised the technical officials of the horticulture department to train beneficiaries to operate the equipment.
Manufactured by Rudra Solar Energy, the dryer has a drying capacity of 45 kilograms at a time. While primarily designed for drying large cardamom, the solar drier can also be used for drying spices, fruits, and vegetables.
