There is a news item in the Mail Today 3 april 2012 that "Delhi mints money with holograms" It basically taks about how Delhi government has implemented hologram seals to stop spurious liquor. This has resulted more sales as Delhi government thinks it is because of hologram seals. So far they have been buying the hologram seals from private companies and now they intend to buy it from government security printing press in Nashik.

This is the good move as spurious liquor will not be sold but I have my own doubts. The sales might have gone up more because of more liquor outlets and much more free drinking habits and not because of holograms. I did not see any campaign where buyers were educated to look for any hologram security seal but if it working then good news,

The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the UN estimates that 1/3 of agricultural production, 1.3 billion tons, is lost before it can be consumed.  A significant amount of these losses can be reduced with appropriate packaging, whether that be primary protection of processed food or crates (transportation packaging) that prevent crushing and bruising between farm and market.  The developed world recognizes this and distribution losses are lower in developed countries (although food waste at the end of the distribution chain are much higher – but that is another article).  Developing countries, especially those with insufficient infrastructure, often under-estimate the potential of packaging to reduce food loss.  They need better packaging.  An interesting manifestation of this is Ecanco (Egyptian Can Co.) production of steel 2-piece cans – virtually non-existent outside Africa, but lack of good roads make stronger cans necessary. 

WISSH has a Global Food Security program that has promoted a packaging to reduce post-harvest food losses for the past 20 years.   Further information is available on the interview with Dr. Ken Marsh on this site, through www.wissh.org, www.drkenmarsh.com and by contacting Dr. Marsh at ken@drkenmarsh.com

 Here you see the rare picture of India's first lot of qualified packaging technologists passed 25 years back and earned Masters in Packaging Technology though after 25 years we got another certificate saying it Post Graduate Diploma in Packaging. I think rightly so as after 25 years, we are less of technologist and more of administrartors of packagig or ralated activities. I had been thinking whether to write or not to write but finally couldn't stop myself. Here in the picture you see sitting smart looking & smiling professor without spectacles is Dr N G Mokashi. He is the one who started & trained the first batch of India's post graduate packaging technologists. Alongwith him is Mr S C Adak who was also around during our education days though with other traning activities for packaging but always ready to listen & help us.

I can not forget and I guess nobody from our batch can forget Dr Mokashi who treated us like kids coming out from home for the first time to make us feel at home but also to kick at our back if we were not taking charge to study well  learn but also to enjoy the life in MUmbai and in hostel. He was always with us more like a friend in case of any issues and we were surprised that he always knew where the hell we were heading. He was always ready to take the bull by horns with us. Since ours was the first bact, we did have many starting teething issues and had to fight back with the institue and he was stading with us to fight.

Our this packaging education started at Indian Institute of Packaging, Bombay now Mumbai. We met him now during silver jubilee celebration after 25 years of packaging PGs out in the industry. All of us could not make it but few made it, and you see few luck ones here with Dr Mokashi.

We were felicitated but NOt Dr Mokashi who had the vision of this education and came to meet us but for us, he is with us all the time.  After 25 years also, he remembered our names that he has given out of his love.  Just for your information, I was called Goli by him and friends, and I am still called Goli.

We salute him and would like to see him happy & healthy as he had always been.

With this, I stop writing further and would like my other friends to contribute.
