Research & development is a dedicated job in the greater interest of others. I sure when you do the job for the prosperity of other people, you will get own prosperity in the return. When I started work on postharvest technology in 1992 people did not take interest in it because mostly people earn higher degrees as a cosmetic of basic education. Now I am seeing people just write a thesis or a scientific paper with a word "postharvest" and try to prove they know each and every thing. Being a postharvest technologist I feel it is not good and does not favor the task. Postharvest starts journey from commodity maturity level and end at processing. During this travelling many stations come and each and every station has its own requirements for specific time. This is known as postharvest technology of specific commodity.
