The meeting which we were scheduling in early July will have to be pushed back a bit because some of us are not being able to get together as early as that. Shall inform the details as soon as we have them sorted out.

Promotion of Organic Cultivation of Tea
The Small Tea Growers (STG) of Upper Assam are taking a lead in going organic. On the 13th of June,2009 a group of planters got together to discuss the possible road to take to promote conversion to organic. The meeting was also attended by Dr.BP Barua of TRA, Binod Saharia, Subhas, Sunil & Vikash Aggarwals,LP Barua, Ashim Bordoloi, Hemanta Gohain & Asif Hazarika.
This is good news for the industry as it is the way we need to be headed.
To take this further, we are holding a meeting on the 2nd of July in Dibrugarh district where we want to discuss the way forward. I am going to request all organisations interested in taking this direction to come down to attend this meeting.
The country is spending a huge sum of money in subsidies for fertlizers and we need to aproach the Tea Board to give subsidies for converting to Organic. It will save a lot of money for the government, reduce the carbon footprint, reduce residues, improve the environment,.... It is a win win for everyone,
The details of the date, the venue will be communicated over this blog, in addition to the mail id s of all the ones we have.
