2^nd awareness raising session report;

On Sunday 31july 2016. It was my 2nd awareness raising session. This session was also in village Hill but different peoples. Sam as first session i introduce myself and my project and tell peoples about the purpose of our visit to their village. As every villager of Hill have relation with agriculture.So they were very interested in my topic. Peoples of hill cultivate fruits and vegetables and they have many problems regarding to post harvesting. During the discussion it is observed that mostly peoples have same problems which were discussed in previous session.

Fist awareness raising session report;

  On Saturday 30th july2016 it was the first session with peoples of village Hill. In this session there were about 20 to 25 men's & women's. I introduce my project with peoples and discuss that what I am going to do in their village. After that I gave a presentation about my topic "how to reduce past harvest loses of fruits and vegetables". During the presentation i feel that peoples are taking interest and already have knowledge about post harvest technology. People of Hill cultivate vegetables. They still have many problems related to the post harvesting of mango fruit. We discuss these problems and will solve their difficulties in the training session.Peoples are happy with our presence at their village. 

Dear Ammad amin, 

For the microprojects linked with Market you need to make additional baseline on Market survey. I attach the guideline here for you. Dear Shazia Hina, please instruct others who have market related projects. Good luck. Shaknoza

Dear Konrad Hauptfleisch, if you instructed these RSPs to focus only on the field, then we do not need to make market survey. But eventually i assume the farmers interested in post harvest are those who are mainly selling their product. 

خوراک

 تعریف:
ہر وہ چیز جو ہم کھاتے ہیں یا پیتے ہیں خوراک کہلاتی ہے۔
ہر فرد خوراک کا استعمال کرتا ہے ہاچھی صحت اور زندگی کی بقا کے لیے خوراک انان کی بنیادی ضرورت ہے اچھی خوراک وہ ہے جو متوازن ہونے کے ساتھ ساتھ غذائیت سے بھی بھرپور ہو جس سے مختلف بیماریوں سے بچا جا سکے ایک اوسط عمر کا فرد زندگی میں 70 ہزار مرتبہ کھانا کھاتا ہے جس کے لیے وہ تقریبا 60 ٹن خوراک استعمال کرتا ہے اکثر لوگ خوراک کا چناؤ پسند اور نا پسند پر کرتے ہیں کیوں کہ خوراک کی غذائیت سے بہت کم لوگ واقف ہوتے ہیں ۔

غذا اور اس کے اجزاء کی اہمیت 

تعارف 

تازہ پھلوں اور سبزیوں کے کاروبار کی اہمیت کا دارومدار انسانی خوراک میں ان کی اہمیت پر ہے۔ انسانی خوراک میں سبزیوں اور پھل ذائقہ ، توانائی اور انسانی جسم کو درکار ضروری عناصر کے حصول کا ذریعہ ہیں۔مثال کے طور پر سبزیوں اور پھل وٹامن سی کا سب سے اہم اور موئژ ذریعہ ہیں۔ کیونکہ انسانی جسم بذات خود وٹامن سی نہیں بنا سکتا۔ وٹامن سی کے علاوہ سبزیوں اور پھلوں میں نشاستہ، روغنیات اور نمکیات کی وافر مقدار موجود ہوتی ہے۔جو انسانی جسم کی ضروریات کو پورا کرتی ہے۔ لہٰذا اچھی صحت کے لیے تازہ سزیوں اور پھلوں کا استعمال بہت ضروری ہے۔

 It is being stated here that due to the extension date of submission of narrative reports the remaining activities have been shifted from February/March to April/May 2017. There is one more reason which contributes in delaying activities related to ripening of local fruits and vegetables of UC Beer.
