FULL TRANSCRIPT

Thank you Madam.

Farmers of different parts of the country, particularly in my constituency Purulia, which is one of the remote districts of south Bengal, are facing severe problems regarding conservation of their vegetables and fruits due to the shortage of cold storages.

So my request to the Central government is to take immediate measures in this regard and take action so that in every district at least five cold storages will built to save the farmers and their vegetables and fruits, which have been destroyed due to non-availability of conservation.

Madam would the Minister state the benefits acquired in the last two years or since the implementation of the central sector scheme for cold chain and value addition infrastructure which was aimed at stopping loss of fruits and vegetables.

Thank you, Madam.
