Bihar
Tea from the land of Buddha…
On this thursday the 23rd May, we recast our Bihar Tea Plantation Association (BTPA) and made its headquaters in Kishanganj and Siliguri to serve its members in a better way. Raju Daftari will head it and Neem Chandji Mitruka and myself will be two vice-Chairman with Mohinida as its secretary, operating out of TIPA office.
We have roped in Gopal Agarwal, sitting MLA from Thakurgunj, as our patron, to help our voice reach to the right people in Patna, like Nitish Kumarji & Sushil Modiji as well as utilizing the BIA (Bihar Industries Association) and CII clout in Bihar to make sence of tea industry in Kishangunj district, which has been lacking in Government support so far, though it was they themselves who invited us there.
