Ludhiana, November 11, 2026: The Agri-Business Incubation (ABI) programme of ICAR-Central Institute of Post-Harvest Engineering and Technology (ICAR-CIPHET), Ludhiana, aims to promote entrepreneurship by providing technical guidance and incubation facilities for value addition to agricultural commodities.
Chanpreet Singh Virk, an aspiring entrepreneur from Fazilka, Punjab, approached ICAR-CIPHET for incubation support to produce millet-based extrudates. He contacted ICAR-CIPHET and signed MoA for seeking incubation facility to process products and selling in market. Millets are recognised for their nutritional benefits, and their processing into ready-to-eat extruded products offers significant opportunities for value addition, product diversification and market development. Through this incubation initiative, the entrepreneur will gain access to processing facilities and technical expertise for developing millet-based products suitable for commercial production.
During the event Dr. Nachiket Kotwaliwale assured him that all possible help will be extended for establishment of agribusiness unit and start-up after successful completion of incubation.
