KOTTAYAM, December 01 2022: Dr KN Raghavan, Executive Director, Rubber Board, will inaugurate the Rubber Board campaign on ‘Reformation of Rubber Producers Societies (RPSs) through youth involvement’ in a meeting scheduled to be held at Rubber Board Head Office, Kottayam on December 02 at 10 am.
The programme will be available live on the Face Book page (facebook.com/rubberboard) of the Rubber Board. Participation of youths in the activities of the RPSs, modernization of rubber farming and e-trading are the important topics to be discussed in the campaign meetings.
