Assam: Rubber Board executive director visits nurseries in Kamrup

Chaygaon: M Vasanthagesan, the newly appointed executive director of Rubber Board of India, visited rubber nurseries in the Chaygaon area of Kamrup district on Tuesday.

Vasanthagesan visited the nurseries of Omega Green Solutions in Nijbogai and Chowdhury Para. Later, he met with the entrepreneurs and farmers in Chowdhurypara Nursery.

“The Rubber Board of India under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry is targeting rubber plantation in two lakh hectares of land in North East India. However, most of the area falls under the Guwahati Regional Office. These plantations and nurseries will generate more employment. Even the whole process is not complicated, so after getting training, it will be easy for farmers,” he said.

He also added, “The North East Mission of Tyre Industry for Rubber Augmentation (NE MITRA) intends to increase production of natural rubber by accelerating new planting and replanting of rubber in the region.”
