Secondary food processing units on the cards

APFPS to establish them in each parliamentary constituency
The State government has chalked out plans to set up secondary food processing units in each parliamentary constituency. The objective is to utilise the surplus production in the State by creating value addition to the produce. Also, it helps in reducing the post-harvest losses. Andhra Pradesh Food Processing Society (APFPS) will set up the proposed units on a par with global standards. The government is establishing primary processing units, which will function as ancillary units of the Multi Purpose Facility Centres (MPFCs). The MPFCs will function under the Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs). The produce that could not be processed by the primary units will be sent for secondary processing. The government has identified crops such as millets, maize, tamarind, honey, jaggery, coconut, banana, tomato, groundnut, cocoa, venila, papaya, and mango for food processing.After a long, tiring day all we want is to jump right on our cosy beds and rest comfortably on our soft, fluffy pillows, right?

Did you know ages ago people used to rest their heads on a HARD ROCK? So how did humans go from sleeping on stones to cosy, fluffy and soft pillows today? Let’s get into the origin of your everyday pillows!
As the November 30 deadline nears for installing vehicle location tracking devices (VLTD) and emergency panic buttons in public service and nationally permitted goods vehicles in Karnataka, transport unions representing cab, bus, and truck operators are urging the government to reconsider the mandate. They argue that the high cost of these devices and a lack of awareness have made it difficult for many vehicle owners to comply with the requirement.
