Dears,
A big THANK YOU to all those who made the 5th KONKAN FRUIT FEST such a
great success by your participation, presence or even words of
support.
The KFF was held on a shoe-string budget as the BSG is low on funds
..... but did not ask for funding from the Goa Government while it is
supporting the PEOPLE OF GOA in the cause of Self Determination of
what DEVELOPMENT they want for their villages and towns ...and the
Political leadership seems to be continuing with its negative track.
The press, the electronic media and Radio Mirchi FM have been
extremely supportive and has given the KFF good coverage though we
could not afford to release even a single advertisement.
The participants have been supportive though they received only a
short notice. The new Executive Committee [ 2008-2011] of the BSG has
just taken charge on 01 April, 2008, with a majority being new faces
in the EC.
The Directorate of Agriculture-Goa, ICAR-Goa, Regional Fruit Research
Station-Vengurla [of Konkan Krishi Vidyapeet-Dapoli, Maharashtra] and
University of Agricultural Sciences-Dharwad, Karnataka, continued
their participation in the transfer of technology and networking of
farmers, processors and consumers.
