Empowering Communities with Sustainable Drying Solutions!

As part of the Solar Fruit Dryer Project in collaboration with Amrita JSS and the Amritalakshmi Joint Liability Group (JLG), our HuT Labs team visited Kattappana & Nedumkandam, Idukki on 4th August 2025.

Led by Sampoojya Swami Jyanamritananda Puri, Ms. Ramya C, and Mr. Eswaran, the visit aimed to:

  • Interact with community members to understand their drying needs
  • Explore dehydration-based solar dryers for year-round preservation
  • Assess hybrid models (solar + electric, with optional firewood)

From jackfruit, mango, banana, and mushroom to pepper, nutmeg, moringa leaves, and coffee, the community envisions a dryer that preserves the aroma, taste, and nutrition of their produce while ensuring climate resilience.

Together, we’re blending innovation, tradition, and sustainability to empower livelihoods!
