From there packing of sugar into bags takes place .They are then carried for storage was also clearly shown. The wastage produced in this process is used for power generation, sent to paper industry and used as fertilizer also. The molasses part of sugar is used for preparation of beverages and chocolates. We thanked the Managing Director L.S.Naidu by presenting him the book memento for providing us the opportunity to visit the sugar factory and for enlightening our children with the production of sugar.
