Invition of inputs for formulation of Rubber Board Schemes for 12th Five Year Plan

Rubber Board has invited suggestions from all the stakeholders for formulating the Board’s schemes for the 12th Five Year Plan to be implemented from the year 2012-13. Internationally renowned agricultural scientist and Member of Parliament Dr. M.S. Swaminathan would chair the National Committee which has been constituted for the evaluation. The committee comprising experts from different disciplines would critically look into all the schemes now being implemented in the fields of production, processing and marketing of natural rubber and also research in rubber.

Sheela Thomas, Chairperson of Rubber Board said that an evaluation of these schemes would be conducted so as to generate inputs for the formulation of 12th Plan schemes. In order to give an opportunity for all sections of the public to have their say in plan formulation, the Board has scheduled a series of consultations with various segments of rubber industry stakeholders. The observations and suggestions received from the stakeholders would be considered with seriousness while formulating the 12th Plan proposals of the Board, subject to the guidelines and priorities set up by India Government and Planning Commission.
