National Cold Chain Development Programme
The National Cold Chain Development Programme (NCCD) is a government initiative aimed at improving the cold chain infrastructure in India. This involves the development and strengthening of facilities for the storage, transportation, and handling of perishable goods, including fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat, and pharmaceuticals. The program addresses various aspects of the cold chain, from the creation of cold storage facilities and transportation networks to the training of personnel and the implementation of quality control measures. It aims to reduce post-harvest losses, enhance the quality of products, and improve market access for producers, ultimately contributing to food security and economic growth. The NCCD works in collaboration with various stakeholders, including state governments, private sector companies, and international organizations, to achieve its objectives. Specific activities may include providing financial assistance for cold chain infrastructure development, developing technology standards, promoting private sector investment, and creating awareness amongst producers and consumers. The program's success hinges on its ability to create a robust and efficient cold chain system across the country, ensuring that perishable goods reach consumers in optimal condition.
