It is a strange fact that all the Traders in Wholesale Mandies are using very rough empty Crates (cardboard boxes and joot bags) for transporting fruits and vegetables till the date. There must be used some permanent Crates of packets like all the cold drinks companies are using from the beginning of there business. All the Traders must use some permanent plastic Crates for transporting goods as it is not a one day business but for decades and make turn over a Millions of rupees.

There is a way to control the pollutions in main cities like delhi mumbai etc...
Pm shri Narendra modi should take a risk..that the common peoples govt employees celebrities medias and all orginizations (including other political parties) and their main leaders..
make them to take pledge that once in a week we will not use private vehicles and to support the public transports such as train govt busses. metro or even cycles etc...(like swach Bharath movement)
the main advantage of this policy are...
1) it will reduce air pollution by vehicles.
2) increase the profit of public sectors like railway, metro, govt busses etc which will attract more investments in these areas which lead to development of public sectors.
3) Reduce the demand of petrol and desiel. which reduce the pressure of corporates on govt.
4) This will reduce the importing of crude oil.
5) this will improve mentally interact with govt and also with different class of peoples. which brings unity.
6)The govt can increase the publicity of other policy by advertising in metros and railways by using digital India plan...
7)This will make a huge difference in financial economy of Bharath.
8) This can reduce the problem of traffic jam in main cities.
9) For a year 48 pollution free or green day will be created..(if this will be done once in a week).
10) For prevent global warming.. we can be a roll model for other countries...
we can make Bharath as a heaven for good and healthy living country.. not for earning country like gulf etc..

The medical profession is far from ethical. The practice of giving kick backs-cuts- to the referring doctors is at the expense of the poor patients.The Govt must regulate this sector.The Indian Medical council is only a silent witness-or accomplice- to these atrocities.

On-time supply, well equipped warehouses, and timely maintenance- these factors can help us to avoid post harvest losses. for this, farmers need to have a well maintained environment, proper roads, crop maintenance

Heavy losses that our farmers and small retailers of fruits and vegetables suffer are really disturbing. When I walk through a market place on a Monday morning heaps of vegetables and some fruits are found on the roadside from what remained unsold the previous Sunday open market. Tomatos, green chillis,brinjals, okra, onions etc all left back by the sellers as the cost of carrying them back would be more than the cost of the items.These items are sold at Rs.10 or 20 per KG.What the farmer gets ?

we should encourage people to open consumer co op societies and encourage farmer to be members of such societies and sell their product to such society so consumer and farmer both get benifited by such co opratives.

For post harvest losses first of all is the need of village farmers to form a cooperative. With the membership fees a good capacity warehouse with facility of pest control can be built. Within 500 meters if the produce is stored then online trading can help the farmers get better prices and bigger market.
These farmer cooperative can tie up with local transporter to provide weather proof carriages to deliver the sold stocks.

As far as my reckoning is concerned , there should be proper roads in the area of transportation , cold storage should be there , whatever the waste are left , we can reuse it for our pets like cows , buffaloes n all , by consuming it we can get more milk n chaff expenses can also be decreased, firstly there should be transparency in supply , because it observed that due to earn bribe , officers delay in getting passed the truck from the barriers resultant high cost n rotting.

food process industry can help us, farmers should educate of food processing &storing. on the other hand they should know the perfect market to sell their fruit & vegetables. government should insure them that they will not harassed by commodity market holders. main thing is speedy transport of their goods and it can be solved by Et3 [evacuated tube transport technology] system .
