♦ The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur’s Ranjit Singh Rozi Shiksha Kendra has introduced an innovative solar dehydration technique aimed at preserving agricultural produce using sustainable energy.

♦ This pioneering method allows farmers to dry fruits and vegetables through solar energy, offering a cost-effective solution to fluctuating market prices.

♦ By enabling the storage of produce for longer periods, farmers can sell their goods at more favorable prices during peak demand, thereby increasing profitability.
