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.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
