Seoni's horticulture department proposes 300 solar dryers for 300 Scheduled Tribe farming families, Dainik Yashonnati reported on October 28, citing district horticulture officer Dr Asha Upvanshi-Wasewar.
A November 2026 start and three-month implementation period are proposed, with priority for farmer groups. Drying fruit and vegetables is intended to improve preservation and processing.
The report establishes a proposal. Completed installations and higher farmer incomes have not been verified.
