• One of the attractions was Pusa Farm SunFridge, innovative fridge run by solar power.
• It is designed by Dr. Sangeeta Chopra, Principal Scientist, Energy Science and Technology, Electrical          Engineering, IARI.
• The SunFridge devised by Dr. Sangeeta provides 2 tonnes of storage at 4 degrees celsius.
• The specialty of this fridge is that it is completely solar-powered. It requires no electric power, so the farmer does not have to worry about power bills.
• The fridge uses water from AC. This means the fridge also helps in water conservation because it uses the water that drops from AC.
• The fridge is especially designed for farmers who can store their perishable produce like fruits and vegetables.
• It often happens that farmers cannot sell their entire produce the same day.
• Due to lack of storage facility, they usually throw away the surplus produce for animals to eat. They have no choice.
