ITANAGAR, Mar 21: A small-scale training programme on banana chips preparation was conducted by KVK Anjaw under the PMDDKY (Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana) programme for women Self Help Group (SHG) members.
The training focused on utilizing locally available bananas for value addition.
A total of 10 women SHG members from Hoiliang and Matengliang villages participated in the programme. Hoiliang village has an abundance of local and wild banana trees, but the SHG members were largely unaware of ways to process and add value to these resources.
During the training, the Foods and Nutrition Specialist, Pooja Singnale provided hands-on guidance to the participants on preparing banana chips from locally available bananas. The session aimed to introduce basic processing techniques and encourage small income-generating activities.
