Dr. Gopika Talwar deliberated on the importance of packaging of value added products and conducted hands-on training for cup-sealer machines and hand-sealer machines to the trainees. She highlighted the use of cup/glass sealer machines to pack products like kheer, lassi, whey drinks or flavoured milks etc. The women farmers had already been trained for these products. She suggested them to pack the products like paneer, chhaina, sweets etc. with a hand sealer machine.
Dr. Rekha Chawla trained the beneficiaries for the scientific method of paneer making and addressed their queries about the process. The team members motivated them to adopt the scientific methods of adding value to the milk by-products and adopt the entrepreneurial approach by packing the products with modern equipment and right marketing.
