More reforms to follow and the Rubber Board data is factual

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that the government has not given up on reforms. More reforms will be unveiled in the Union Budget 2011-12. I sincerely hope in the upcoming Budget we will see a clearer picture of the reform agenda.

The government has been working on a host of reform initiatives, some of which have already been successful. I believe we are going to have a fresh wave of infrastructure investment with the help of public-private partnership model.

In response to allegations about the authenticity of Board data, Rubber Board Chairperson – Sheela Thomas in a statement has clarified that data provided by the board regarding NR stocks is factual; but the reported stocks may not be fully available in the market and also pointed out that the data is sourced from cultivators, traders, processors and manufacturers.

As on 31st January 2011, stock of natural rubber in the country was pegged at 327115 tonnes.
