Er. Uday Bhandari, SMS, Soil & Water Conservation Engineering, delivered a lecture on importance of protected cultivation technology through construction of greenhouses, right from the site selection, orientation and structural preparation to installation of polythene film, using power point presentation. He explained that in the prevailing economic condition, where capital is a scarce input, the choice often favours low initial investment greenhouses. Bamboo wood as a structural member in association with UV stabilized transparent polythene film is a common option selected by greenhouse designers. He said that earlier results showed greenhouses as an important tool for high income generation from small holdings, especially in rural areas.
Khacha Gam, Village head, explained about the importance of greenhouses in local dialogue.
