Minister urges FPOs and SHGs to get assistance to upgrade units
Union Minister of State for Food Processing Industries Prahalad Singh Patel has called upon the farmers’ producers organisations and self-help groups engaged in food processing business to make use of the support offered under the Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme for upgrading their enterprises.
He made this call at the PMFME awareness programme for SHGs and FPOs held at Indian Institute of Food Processing Technology here on Monday where the Union Minister gave a brief note on the capital investment support and seed capital support extended under the scheme.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
