Ludhiana: PAU launches ‘custom hiring centre' for women, small farmers in Akalgarh
Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), in partnership with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research–Central Institute for Women in Agriculture (ICAR-CIWA), has inaugurated a custom hiring centre (CHC) in Akalgarh village. The initiative, launched under the All India Coordinated Research Project on Women in Agriculture (AICRP-WIA), aims to provide affordable access to agricultural machinery and value-addition tools, particularly benefiting women and small farmers. A memorandum of agreement (MoA) was signed between ICAR-CIWA, PAU, and the SHG to ensure smooth and sustainable operations. (HT Photo) The centre was inaugurated by Mridula Devi, director, ICAR-CIWA, who emphasised the institute's commitment to empowering rural women through technology, skills, and market linkages. She noted that the project, supported under the SC-Sub Plan, reflects a long-term vision of reducing drudgery, enhancing productivity, and generating income opportunities for rural communities. Formally handed over to a local self-help group (SHG) for community management, the CHC is equipped with a dal mill, weighing scale, sewing machines, water pump, and maize sheller. A memorandum of agreement (MoA) was signed between ICAR-CIWA, PAU, and the SHG to ensure smooth and sustainable operations. Earlier, SHG members underwent hands-on training with Renuka Aggarwal from PAU's department of food and nutrition to operate and maintain the equipment effectively. Ritu Mittal, unit coordinator, highlighted the CHC's role in promoting skill development and encouraging sustainable resource use. Ajmer Dhatt, director of research, PAU, praised the project for bridging academic research with practical rural solutions. Similarly, Deepika Vig, coordinator of research, College of Community Science, and Harpreet Kaur, head, department of food and nutrition, stressed its potential to foster community development and self-reliance among women. The event was attended by AICRP scientists, the village sarpanch, panchayat members and local farm women. Digital Agribusiness Lab unveiled The School of Business Studies (SBS) at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), has taken a major step toward innovation and rural empowerment with the launch of its Digital Agribusiness Lab. The inauguration was held in the office of vice-chancellor Satbir Singh Gosal, who praised the initiative as a progressive move to expand the reach and impact of agribusiness in Punjab. The Agribusiness Lab, a key component of SBS, has been playing a vital role in mentoring budding agripreneurs by offering expert guidance in product development, branding, labeling, packaging, and marketing. Its physical setup houses a diverse collection of value-added agricultural products, allowing entrepreneurs to study market trends and understand consumer demand. Recognising the growing importance of digital access, SBS has transformed the lab into an online platform to reach a wider audience, especially rural entrepreneurs and farmers who cannot easily visit the facility. The Digital Agribusiness Lab will serve as a virtual hub for product displays, learning resources, mentorship opportunities, and networking, helping integrate rural talent into the broader agri-enterprise ecosystem. SBS Director Ramandeep Singh, a veteran with over three decades of experience in agribusiness development, said the shift reflects changing market dynamics and will bridge the gap between academic innovation and grassroots entrepreneurship. Leading the digitalisation effort, teaching assistant Navneet Kaur Gill—herself from a rural background—highlighted how many farmers hesitate to enter agribusiness due to lack of exposure and confidence. With growing smartphone use and social media reach in villages, she said, the platform will help farmers visualise and shape business ideas into viable enterprises. Faculty members Sandeep Kapur, Mohit Gupta, and Rakesh Rathore applauded the move, calling it a catalyst for self-employment, rural development, and sustainable growth in Punjab's agriculture sector.

Ludhiana: Hunar Sikhya Schools push for skill-based education for Class 11
In a push towards skill-based education, four government schools in the district were chosen under the Punjab government's pilot project 'Hunar Sikhya Schools' (HSS) designed to equip Class 11 students with industry-relevant skills. The initiative has seen overwhelming response from students, particularly in trades related to finance and digital marketing. Students at Government Senior Secondary School, PAU, during a skill-based course class under Hunar Sikhya Project in Ludhiana on Tuesday. (Manish/HT) The selected schools include Government Senior Secondary Schools (GSSS) at the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Dhandari Khurd, Hambran, and the Girls' School in Sahnewal. Each of these schools is offering two specialised trades under the scheme. At PAU school, the trades offered are Digital Design and Development (DDD) and Banking, Finance Services and Insurance (BFSI). According to principal Pardeep Sharma, while 25 seats were sanctioned for each trade, the demand for DDD exceeded expectations, forcing the school to increase capacity. Instructor Jatin Arora explained that the DDD trade covers website design and mobile app development, both with and without coding, and equips students with real-world skills that allow them to work independently after completing Class 12. GSSS Dhandari Khurd is offering DDD and Beauty and Wellness trades. Of the 25 seats available in Beauty and Wellness, 18 have already been filled, while in DDD, nearly all the seats are taken, indicating strong interest from students. The girls' school in Sahnewal is running BFSI and Healthcare Sciences, where nearly all 25 seats in each trade have been filled. GSSS Hambran is offering the same two trades. Here, BFSI is proving more popular than Healthcare Sciences. An instructor noted that the banking course is attractive because it trains students for six different job roles, including tally operator, account assistant, mutual fund agent, LIC agent among others. However, while the project guidelines require two dedicated teachers per school, the posts are yet to be filled by the department. For now, vocational instructors and deputed teachers are keeping the trades functional. Principal Sharma expressed hope that permanent teaching staff will be appointed soon to strengthen the initiative further.

Ludh duo build auto unit to turn waste into compost
Ludhiana: In an interesting achievement for the city youth innovation ecosystem, two Class XII students Abhishek Dhanda and Prabhkirat Singh have developed an innovative automated vermocompost unit for sustainable waste management. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Their innovation, Prithvi Rakshak, is a one-of-a-kind, student-led, fully automated vermicomposting unit that uses advanced technology to convert organic waste into high-quality compost, almost three times faster than conventional methods. The idea first germinated at an innovation event held at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), where the duo initially experimented with kitchen waste and local bio-waste. Inspired by the potential of vermicomposting but frustrated by its slow pace, they began reengineering the process. "We realised the key to speeding up the composting cycle was in creating optimal conditions for the earthworms, mainly temperature and humidity. That's where sensors, robotics, and AI came in," Abhishek said. Using AI-driven temperature and humidity sensors, along with a proprietary bioenzyme formula, the students at BCM Arya Model School, Shastri Nagar succeeded in reducing the traditional composting cycle from 60 to 90 days to just 38 days. Their robotic assistant, VermiDoot, collects and processes organic waste, while their companion mobile app, VermiVeda, helps monitor the system and manage operations remotely. The unit is also IoT-enabled, allowing real-time data tracking. They said that their startup has already processed over 12,000 kg of organic waste monthly, generating Rs 1 lakh in revenue and a single unit could scale to Rs 2.5-Rs 3 lakh per month. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now They said the unit also produces vermiwash as byproduct and vermisticks. "Since we are able to observe the parameters 24x7, and also control them to create the most conductive environment, not only is vermicompost create much faster but also of high quality which has optimal moisture, pH and other parameters, for improving soil fertility," said Prabhkirat. Their efforts have earned widespread recognition both nationally and internationally. The students represented India at the IEEE Junior Scientist International Competition in Tunisia, where their work was showcased at Science City. They were also finalists in the Net Zero Carbon Emission Challenge, EcoHackathon Delhi, and Eureka Junior, and ranked among the top 10 in the MESA Business School Pitch Competition. On the home front, they have been lauded in events such as TechNiche at IIT Guwahati winning Rs 45,000 prize, and cash prizes at WRO Nationals and Eco-Innovators Ideathon as well, they said. Their innovation was also among the top 35 out of 1.9 lakh entries in the Eco-Hackathon Showcase, an event co-organised by Amazon and the ministry of environment, forest and climate change (MoEFCC), they said.
