Khandu inaugurates Arunachal Niwas, fourth facility in New Delhi
Assam-Arunachal border delineation exercise concludes in Lower Siang
TAWANG, Oct 11: The Deputy Commissioner of Tawang, Kanki Darang, oversaw the commencement of a significant milestone as the first batch of Tawang Kiwis was sent to Guwahati Tuesday evening. These Tawang kiwis, representing a collaboration between M/S Tawang Fresh and Assam's Pasoli Agro Industries, received technical guidance from the Department of Horticulture, Tawang. This marks the inaugural shipment of one metric ton of kiwis to Guwahati, with plans to explore markets in neighbouring states.
The event was graced by the presence of various officials, including District Agriculture Officer Toli Bam, District Horticulture Officer Saifur Rahman, SDHO Koncho Gyatso, entomologist KB Kayastha, and Nawang Chonzom, the proprietor of Tawang Fresh.
Notably, Nawang Chonzom shared her inspiring journey, having left her government job to support local farmers and promote locally grown produce. Her dedication has been evident in the successful marketing of local organic vegetables from May to July earlier this year, with a remarkable turnover of Rs. 25 lakhs. Furthermore, her mission has attracted over 400 farmers to join this endeavour.
