The Union minister also praised the role played by the Rubber Board in the growth and development of the rubber industry in the country and making India self-reliant in production of natural rubber.

The Union Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central government has been supporting and planning the development of an entire spectrum of activities in the rubber sector throughout the country. This was being done through adequate financial packages and policy initiatives, he said.
