Chairman, The Planters' Association of Tamil Nadu (PAT) at the 57th Annual Conference of the Association on 12th October 2010 at Coonoor

摘要

From its humble origin 57 years ago, Planters' Association of Tamilnadu has evolved into a vibrant organization which has contributed much to the development and well being of the industry. Whenever the industry suffered severe turbulences and turmoils, Planters' Association of Tamilnadu proved to be of great strength to this traditional industry in handling such crisis situations and mitigating its severity to a very great extent. Problems faced by the industry right from its inception are neither new nor unusual. Some way or the other, we have been forced to sail our ship against the tide. This reminds me of a sonnet, I had read sometime back.
