Chairman welcomed the members to the meetings of the Executive Committee and the Board. He said that meetings of the other Committees viz., Labour Welfare Committee, Development Committee and the Tea Promotion Committee were not being held as it was felt that more time was needed to be devoted by the members on certain important issues being placed before the Board.

Item No. To confirm the minutes of the 212th meeting of the Board held in Kolkata on 30th A-1 June, 2010

Chairman said that the minutes of the previous meeting held on 30-6-2010 were circulated on 4-8-2010. No comments were received. The minutes could be confirmed if agreed to.

Shri D.P.Roy mentioned that he did not receive the minutes sent by the Tea Board by post. However, he got the same by email after his contact with Chairman’s office. He therefore requested that the minutes henceforth be circulated well in time. Chairman said the minutes would be forwarded to the members by either Speed Post or through courier services. He further requested the members to intimate the Secretary, Tea Board their e-mail IDs so that minutes could be sent by email as well. Shri Saman Pathak said that it would be desirable to send the agenda, minutes etc. in hard copy to the members so that they could go through the same even at remote places.

Shri D.P.Roy said some of his observations made during last meeting of the Board have not been recorded. He recalled having mentioned that there were large number of small tea

3 growers in Jalpaiguri and they were not getting assistance from the Tea Board for want of registration with Tea Board. As those growers were not having requisite land documents, efforts should be made to bring them under the ambit of SHGs. Tea Board might consider engaging some NGOs for organizing such small growers into SHGs. Chairman said that observations of the members were duly recorded and those issues if not recorded properly, the same may be brought to the notice of Secretary, Tea Board by the concerned members in writing or e-mail for incorporation in the minutes. He further said that all possible steps would be taken to bring more small tea growers under SHGs.

The Board confirmed the minutes of the 212th meeting of the Board held in Kolkata on 30th June, 2010 as circulated.

Item No. To note the action taken by the office on the main decisions/conclusions A-2 reached by the Board at its meeting held in Kolkata on 30th June, 2010

Chairman said that action had been initiated on various decisions taken at the last meeting of the Board as detailed in the agenda note.

Shri R. Gohain enquired about the status of his proposal for construction of sanitary latrines and drinking water wells in selected tea estates and also for capital grant of one school. WLO (N) informed that participation in SPTF scheme is one of the prerequisites for extending any other benefit. Out of the 6 gardens referred to by the Hon’ble Member four were found to have applied under SPTF. Therefore all the four tea gardens would be eligible and they have been asked to intimate their willingness to share part of the expenses. On receipt of their consent further action would be taken

To a query on the subject of standardization of tea grades, Chairman said that based on the inputs received from all stakeholders, the Board had prepared two documents for standardization of grades. Few more suggestions have been received lately and the Board is in the process of finalization of the documents.

Pointing to the difficulties being faced by the tea gardens particularly in South India due to acute shortage of labour, Chairman said that it had become necessary to look into ways and means for overcoming this limitation. It might be worthwhile to look into the feasibility of developing some labour saving devices.

Shri D.P.Roy said that during the last meeting he raised the issue of declaration of holidays for festivals of the tribal workers in North Bengal and wanted to know the action taken by the Board. Chairman said that the declaration of holidays in the tea areas was not within the purview of the Board and any decision in this regard was to be taken by the State Government in consultation with the tea industry. He, however, mentioned that the issue would be referred to the Producers’ Association for consideration.

The Board noted the action taken by the office on the main decisions/conclusions reached by the Board at its meeting held in Kolkata on 30th June, 2010, as indicated in the agenda note.

Item No. To note the current tea scenario of Indian tea A-3

Chairman drawn the attention of the members to the note circulated on the current status of tea production, export, and prices. He further mentioned that during the current year, though there was some drop in production due to adverse climatic conditions, the overall scenario was satisfactory. Currently prices were lower than last year. This was in tune with the international prices. Due to high production in many countries, there was an oversupply of tea and as a consequence prices have started declining in countries like Sri Lanka and Kenya as well. He requested members representing the producers to give their views on the tea situation.

Shri Peter Mathias, Chairman, UPASI Tea Committee said that the situation in South India was stable and tea production would be as near as last year. There was some decline in prices and hopefully things would improve.

Shri Vijay Jagannath said that the season started with carryover of a huge stock of teas of last year which had resulted in prices dipping. Due to adverse climatic conditions and pest infestation, the production in Assam and other areas in North were expected to be down in the coming months and this shortage would firm up the prices once the stock of last year was cleared. It is expected that North Indian tea production would be down by 20/25 m.kgs. One heartening feature was that there was a definite shift to produce more Orthodox teas and these teas were getting good prices. Prices for orthodox teas were better than the CTC teas and more availability of orthodox teas would help exports as well.

Chairman said that while the production in Sri Lanka and Kenya during last year was lower, things have improved this year and both countries have posted higher production. However, internal demand in India has been increasing at a faster rate and the current prices even though lower than last year were at a remunerative level to sustain the industry. He further said that export prospects for the current year were also satisfactory.

Shri S.K.Saria said that as far as Dooars and Terai were concerned the crop situation was satisfactory. However, Darjeeling production was lowest as it received low rainfall, lowest in 35 years.

Item No. To accord ex-post-facto approval for payment of Rs.2,87,680/- in favour of Pay B-1 & Accounts Officer, O/o the Accountant General (A&E) being the Audit Fees for the year 2007-08 and 2008-09 (Transaction) in respect of Board’s Head Office, Kolkata and for the year 2007-08 in respect of Coonoor office.

As recommended by the Executive Committee, the Board accorded ex-post-facto approval towards payment for payment of Rs.2,87,680/- in favour of Pay & Accounts Officer (Audit), O/o the Accountant General (A&E), GI Press Building, 8 Kiran Sankar Roy Road, Kolkata 70001 being the Audit Fees for the year 2007-08 and 2008-09 (Transaction) in respect of Board’s Head Office, Kolkata and for the year 2007-08 in respect of Coonoor office.

Item No. To approve of the Board’s Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and Budget B-2 Estimates for 2011-12.

Chairman said that the establishment and administrative expenses of the Board were met from the Non-Plan budget. The main source for funding the Non- Plan Budget was the tea cess which was levied @ 30 paise per kg of made tea all over the country excepting Darjeeling tea (12 paise). The cess proceeds were inadequate to meet the current requirement of the Board. Government has, therefore, been moved to increase the cess from the current 30 paise per kg to 50 paise per kg. Further, in order to meet the plan expenses towards R&D and continuance of the Orthodox Subsidy scheme, it has been proposed reintroduce the AED @ `1/- per kg of made tea.

FA&CAO explained the Budget proposals. He said that the BE for 2010-11 was ` 40 crores which was revised to ` 46.71 crores. The BE for 2011-12 has been kept at ` 45.24 crores. The increase in RE 2010-11 was on account of repayments of loan taken from revolving corpus for meeting the non plan expenses and for repayment of interest free loan to TTCI. A provision has been made for contribution to New Pension Scheme in BE 2011-12 as the new Pension Scheme had to be introduced for new recruits. Government has declared LIC, SBI etc as the agencies through which the Pension Fund could be invested. Modalities of investing through these specified funds are being worked out.

The Board approved the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and Budget Estimates for 2011- 12 as detailed in the agenda note.

Item No. To accord approval for ad-hoc appointment to the post of Joint Director Tea B-3 Development in the Pay Band 3 Grade Pay ` 7600/-

As recommended by the Executive Committee, the Board approved the proposal to officiate in the post of Joint Director of Tea Development by Shri Amal Roy Chowdhury, Deputy Director of Tea Development on ad-hoc basis until further orders.

AOB

Shri Vijay Jagannath said that a tea price in South India is quite worrying. Shri R.K.Puri said that South India prices were down by ` 15/- per kg but with the improved buying from Egypt etc, it is expected to firm up.

Shri Mani Kr Darnal said that there were great variations in the production of the gardens in the same locality with same geographical conditions. While corporate gardens were getting better yields, some private gardens continue to get low yields. Lower productivity affects not only the health of these gardens but also the livelihood of large number of workers. Better management techniques should be infused in those gardens and reasons for such lower yields should be looked into.

Chairman said that the suggestion was noted. The Board had training scheme not only for the workers but also managers. Efforts would be made to impart training to the managers in these gardens.

Shri Koshy Baby referred to the recent judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court and wanted to know the action contemplated by the Board in this regard.

Chairman said that as per the recent judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court some action was contemplated. The Board had written to the Ministry to look into the issue. As it stands now the Government could order enquiry into the affected gardens and suggest handing over of the management of the garden to a third party. However, the Act was silent on the issue of the liabilities of such garden. The action on the judgment had to be taken within 6 months. Every effort would be made to comply with the orders.

Chairman further said that the Board was working on revamping of tea marketing logo and formulation of new export strategy for the 12th Plan period. Replying to the query of Shri Saman Pathak on the efforts being made to protect the Darjeeling tea internationally, Chairman said that Darjeeling as a GI has been registered through out the world. Any violation of the GI was being contested in all the countries. In fact the Board had won two cases in USA. Efforts were on to register Darjeeling tea in EU countries under EU 510.

Referring to another query of Shri Saman Pathak as to whether unhindered entry of Nepal tea into India hampers the prospect of Darjeeling tea, Chairman said that as per the Indo- Nepal treaty there was no restriction on such imports. Import of tea into the country was allowed under the WTO norms. Any tea imported into the country would bear a duty of 100%. However imports for re-exports were allowed without payment of any duty. Under the Indo-Sri Lanka agreement, an amount of 15 m.kgs of tea was allowed to be imported every year at a concessional duty of 7.5%. However, the import was negligible. He further said that any restrictions on imports of tea would affect the relationship with our neighboring countries; the sentiments expressed by the Board would be communicated to the Ministry for remedial action.

Dr.Dwibedi said that under the Tea (Distribution & Export) Control Order this could be regulated.

Shri R Gohain referred to the plight of small tea growers in Assam. He said that the growers were not getting their subsidies from the Board. He requested that the Board should look into their plights.

Chairman said that to avail of the Board’s subsidy, the growers were required to be registered with the Board. For this purpose they need to have land ownership documents or land possession certificate issued by the Revnue Authorities. For want of such documents small growers were not in a position to register themselves with the Tea Board resulting into non- payment of subsidy. However to over come this issue, the Board is encouraging the growers form SHGs and liberal assistance was being to the SHGs for the collective benefit of the growers. Board’s Guwahati office would take all efforts to help small growers to form SHGs.

Shri Koshy Baby thanked the Chairman, Tea Board for the proposal for opening an office of the Board in the Wayanad region which would benefit the large number of small tea growers there. Earlier such growers had to travel 6/8 hours to reach Coonoor office. He requested the Chairman to open a tea museum in the Nilgiris so that the visitors to Nigiris could have glimpse of the tea history.

Chairman said that under the 11th Plan Scheme, there was a proposal for upgrading the Darjeeling Tea Research & Development Centre, to make it a Centre of Excellence. In addition,

7 there was a proposal to set up a tea museum there in collaboration with the Darjeeling Tea Association. It was earlier proposed to set up the museum at the Planters Club. However it did not materialize. DTA tried to locate some other land but nothing had materialized so far. It was now being contemplated to set up the museum in the foot hills of Darjeeling. Once the land was earmarked by the DTA, further action would be taken. Likiewise if UPASI or other organizations come forward to set up a museum in Nilgiris, the Board could provide some financial assistance. Day to day maintenance and management of such Museum was an important factor, for which some organization should take the responsibility.

Shri Koshy Baby said that the issue of payment of educational stipends to the wards of the small tea growers should be included in our proposal for 12th Plan.

Shri D.P.Roy referred to the plight of small tea growers in the North Bengal. Efforts should be made to bring them under the SHGs. The help of NGOs could be utilized for forming SHGs. Training should be provided to such growers so that the leaf supplied by them was of acceptable quality. Such training centres should be opened in North Bengal. Even the possibility of imparting such training through NGOs on all aspects of tea growing and manufacture should be explored.

Shri D.P.Roy further said that with the efforts of the Government, Tea Board, and others many tea gardens in North Bengal have since been reopened. Due publicity should be given to the efforts made by the Board and others in this regard to educate all concerned, the action taken by the Board for the welfare of the tea garden workers and others.

Chairman said that some press conference etc would be organized during the forthcoming visit of the CIM to the CII sponsored workshop to be held at Siliguri.

Shri M Darnal said that efforts for the popularization of the Accident Insurance Scheme for the tea garden workers have not been taken up wholeheartedly. Chairman said that the said scheme was being operated by the PSF Trust of the Ministry. While the scheme was well taken in South India, it had not been received well in North. The issue would be taken up directly with the National Insurance Company to hold workshop etc so that more workers could avail benefit out of the scheme. Shri S.K.Saria said that in his gardens when forms were distributed, the workers did not bother to participate in the scheme.

Shri D.P.Roy referred to the reports of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on tea and wanted to know the steps taken by the Board to implement the suggestions. Chairman said that after the said Committee, two more Committees have gone into the issues viz., Shri O.P. Arya Committee and Shri S.N.Menon Committee. Reports of these Committees are under examination of the Ministry.

Approach to the 12th Plan

Chairman said that a note with certain suggestions for preparation of the Approach Paper for 12th Five Year Plan has been circulated to the members and requested the members to furnish their view to the Board by end of September so that the issues could be looked into for preparation of the approach paper.

DTD made a detailed presentation on the current situation both within the country and internationally and the suggested structure for the strategic plan for preparation of the 12th

8

Plan document. The strategies adopted during the last two preceding five year plans were also explained. The Global trends in production during the last 10 years were analyzed in detail. Contribution of the small tea growers in total production over the last 10 years was explained. Major initiatives and goals during the 11th Plan including the efforts undertaken by the Board under the SPTF were highlighted. The issues needed to be addressed during the 12th Plan were listed in the presentation.

Shri Vijay Jagannath said that as far as consumption pattern within the country was concerned, there was real growth in demand for good quality tea. As such efforts should be made to produce more good quality tea and eliminate the low end tea from the system.

Chairman said that increase in production could be achieved by improvement in productivity only. Within the existing tea gardens there were some area still available which could be harnessed for expansion. There were good scopes for growing tea in N. E states like Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram etc. These areas could be explored. Shri R.K.Puri said that in Cachar tea gardens, sizable vacant lands were available. Shri S.K.Saria said that in Dooars and Terai regions, there was very little scope for expansion as the unused areas available within the grant area of tea gardens are mostly unsuitable for good growth of tea.

Shri D.P.Roy said that the Board should conduct a study to identify the land available for tea cultivation in the existing tea gardens. Publicity should also be made to promote tea as a health drink. The processing facilities should also be improved so that new techniques of production could be developed.

Chairman said that the Board had already initiated a study in collaboration with IIT, Karaghpur to improve upon the existing practices of manufacture and also evolve, new processing technology and machineries etc. A paper on the progress of the scheme would be placed for information of the members at the next meeting of the Board.

As regards training of small tea growers, Chairman said that organizing training on one to one basis to the large number of small tea growers was a difficult proposition. In order to overcome this issue it was proposed to train selected members of SHGs as master trainers who in turn could impart training to the remaining members of the SHGS.

Shri Vijay Jagannath said that small growers should be integrated with the nearby factories. They should be supplying the leaf, as raw material. The training etc for bringing in good quality tea should be imparted by these factories. The leaf conforming to the minimum standard should only be accepted.

Chairman said that UPASI KVK had done good work in South India. Such a set up should be encouraged in North India as well so that small tea growers in the North are benefited.

DTD said that SPTF was earlier thought to be a flag ship programme. However, progress was not as per the expectation. The disbursement of loan had not crossed more than ` 30 crores whereas it was contemplated to disburse loan @ ` 150 Cr per annum. The well organized tea groups were comfortable with borrowing directly from their bankers. Only those gardens which were not in a position to get bank loan directly are approaching the Board for the SPTF. Given to poor off take of the loan, it would be necessary to take a call on the structure of the scheme while considering its extension to XII Plan period.

Dr.C.O.Rangad, Director of Horticulture, Govt. of Meghalaya, Shillong made a presentation on the efforts made by the State Government for helping the small tea growers in the State. He said that there were 5000 small tea growers but most of the growers were unable to get assistance from the Board as they could not register themselves. He said since land registration in their name would be costly, the Board should assist them without such formality. He said all the growers should be given Board’s subsidy irrespective of the fact that they had already planted tea long back.

Chairman said that in order to register with Tea Board, the small growers should obtain land possession certificate from the Revenue authorities. Normally, subsidy for new planting is provided only for the registered growers on submission of prescribed application for subsidy. However if the Govt. of Meghalay conduct a survey and identify the small tea growers with their profile of planting and submit a report, the Board could consider as a special case to provide onetime grant. However, all future cases, the growers should register themselves with the Board to become eligible for subsidy from the Board. For providing technical backup, TRA would be asked to help the growers. The ED, Guwahati would organize frequent camps in the tea areas of Meghalaya so that the growers could register themselves provided the Meghalaya Government provide some space and infrastructural assistance.

Shri Joydeep Phukhan, Secretary TRA made a presentation on the activities undertaken by the TRA and the progress of work so far by utilizing Rs. 20 crores sanctioned by the Government for the commemoration of Centenary of the TRA.

Dr.Jayaram of ISRO made a presentation on the activities undertaken with the assistance of the Board in mapping of tea areas in Assam and West Bengal under the ongoing R&D project of the Board. The presentation covered all aspects of remote sensing in tea areas and gave a glimpse on areas where the tea gardens would be benefited out of the efforts. He said that by this study, it would be possible for the gardens to plan their drainage, to pin point water sources, rocky areas and areas suitable for tea cultivation etc.

Chairman thanked the members for their appreciation of various ongoing activities of the Board. He said that after 10 long years of association with Tea Board, firstly as Deputy Chairman and subsequently as Chairman, he would be handing over charge on 18th October, 2010. He appreciated the support and assistance given by the members of the Board and others in the tea industry in discharging his duties.

Shri R.K.Puri on behalf of all the members of the Board thanked Chairman for all the help and assistance given to them and for conducting the affairs of the Board in an excellent manner. As suggested by him, the members gave a standing ovation to the Chairman as a token of their gratitude to the efforts and pain taken by him for the betterment of the tea industry.

Before concluding the members observed a minute silence on the sudden and untimely demise of Dr.R.Saha, Project Director, DTR&DC on 6th September, 2010. The members requested the Chairman to convey their condolences and sympathies to the bereaved family.

There being no other item for discussion, the meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the Chair.
