National Training on
Sugarcane Management and Development
01-15 July, 2015
Course In-charge : Dr. A. K. Sah
ICAR-Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research
Lucknow- 226 002, (U.P.) India
Rationale
A large number of sugar complexes are coming up due to the liberalization and introduction
of new sugar policy by the Government. Therefore, sugarcane acreage per sugar mill is
declining. For producing a large quantity of sugarcane to run the mills to their full capacity,
there are two options, either to increase the sugarcane production vertically or increase area
under sugarcane. The possibility to second option is limited as area under agriculture is
decreasing day by day. The only option left therefore, is to increase the production vertically
by the use of improved technologies. However, effective use of technologies largely depends
on the knowledge and motivation of the personnel engaged in the cane development
activities. They must be made aware about the new technologies so that in turn they can train
and help the sugarcane growers for effective utilization of the technologies. Hence, it is
essential that the cane development personnel working in a sugar mill must be well aware
about the latest technical know-how in sugarcane cultivation. Besides, emphasis should also
be given on varietal planning, maturity survey, harvesting and other related activities for
ensuring sufficient quantity of good quality sugarcane to maintain desired level of sugar
recovery throughout the crushing season. Keeping these points in view, ICAR- Indian
Institute of Sugarcane Research, Lucknow is going to organize a National Training on
Sugarcane Management & Development for cane development personnel of sugar industry
from July 1 to 15, 2015.
Objective
To groom and train the cane development personnel of sugar mills in latest technology of
