HAPPENING -- 1 ::


TEA BOARD CHAIRMAN IN COONOOR


BY P S SUNDAR






Tea Board Chairman Siddharth visited Coonoor for the first time on March 20, 2015. 







Coinciding with this, a postal stamp with Tea Board logo was released.




A meeting of Small Tea Growers' Societies was conducted where the Chairman distributed fiscal assistance.  




I could see two major developments at this meet as also during my interaction with him ::

-- Tea Board's Southern regional office at Coonoor will get more powers due to decentralisation; 


--  Tea Board's assistance to Nilgiri Planters' Association for the conduct of Nilgiri Winter Specialty Tea Auction will be revived. 





This is my article on these in The New Indian Express today::



and they spoke ::
