Minutes of the Plan Review Meeting hel d on 15.7.2015 (draft)
The 3rd Plan Review Meeting of 2015-16 was held on 15.7.2015 at Coconut
Development Board Head Quarters, Kochi from 10.00 AM to review the progress in
implementation of various Schemes as on 30.6.2015. The Meeting was presided over by
Chairman. List of attendance is enclosed (Annexure I).
Chairman welcomed the new Project Manager, CIT, Kum. Jamuna John and the
new Food Processing Engineer Kum. Jagadishpriya, to the Meeting. In his introductory
remarks he informed that the second quarter is very crucial for the Board. We have to
increase our achievements under various Schemes during this quarter. If we can utilize our
budget up to 90% by the end of third quarter, there is every possibility of getting additional
funds from Ministry as was happened during last financial year. During the current financial
year there will be a huge demand for coconut seedlings. The coconut seedling production in
our Farms and State Departments will be insufficient to meet the requirements. Our Nursery
Schemes implementation through FPOs is lagging behind. FPOs should be encouraged for
raising Nurseries. Hence all the Charge Officers, RO and State Centre Officers and Officers
monitoring registration of FPOs should insist and motivate for nurseries. Action should be
initiated right now so as to get enough seedlings for next year.
Action by: All Charge Officers; DDs, SCs & AD(Mkg) Monitoring and follow up by: Director(Farms) Chairman pointed out in the Meeting that the Federations in Kerala should have
Copra Driers so that it will be easy for them to overcome the price crisis. Whenever price falls
the coconuts can be converted to copra. All the Charge Officers are requested to motivate
their FPOs in this regard.
Action by: All Charge Officers Monitoring and follow up by: AD (Mkg) & AD (TMOC)
The CIT should improve their product qualities. A continuous attention is necessary for
identification of new products having better value. CIT should come out with new research
proposals. The Processing Engineer should study, understand and prepare suitable projects for
establishing Pilot Plants in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Ms. Jagadishpriya, Food Processing
Engineer and Ms. Jamuna John, Project Manager should start working for the same. The
Processing Engineers should study the various machineries available for Neera and Neera
product processing. PE should develop 4 level of model project profiles with flow chart, floor lay
outs and machine specifications for 1000 litre (pilot plant) 3000 litre, 5000 litre and 10000 litre
capacity. Plant sanitation manual also have to be developed keeping in view FSSAI, HACCP,
ISO-21000 and other such standards. We may also develop standards for tender coconut water,
2
coconut water, Neera health drink and other Neera products and send to BIS, FSSAI, AGMARK,
etc. for recognition as Indian standards.
Action by: Ms. Jagadishpriya, Food Processing Engin eer & Ms. Jamuna John, Project Manager Monitoring by: Smt. Annie Eapen, Chemist Follow up by: AD (TMOC)
A strategy should be developed for the marketing side of Neera. Every Producer
Company should think of 100 sales point for Neera and other coconut products in their own
Districts, commonly known as Coconut Points. Marketing strategy in their district should be an
agenda in their next company meeting. Marketing and TMOC officials should sit together and
identify the coconut points in the districts where Coconut Producer Companies are established.
Action by: All Charge Officers, Shri K.S. Sebastian , AD(Mkg) & Shri SS Choyal, AD (TMOC) Monitoring and follow up by: CCDO
From 16th July 2015 onwards CIT should sell 200 ml bottles of Neera through NAFED
counter at HQ. All Neera products available at CIT should sell through this counter.
Action by: Smt. Annie Eapen, Chemist Monitoring and follow up by: Shri SS Choyal, AD (TM OC)
Statistics Section should keep on improving data on price of coconut and publishing
through the websites of 36 companies (the daily price, arrival and quantity, etc). Make a
mechanism for this. The Board’s Regional Offices, State Centres and FPOs should collect
price data and quantity from major coconut markets in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
State Centres and Regional Offices should be alerted on this.
Action by: Shri V. C. Vasanthkumar, SO; Director, R O Bangalore & Dy. Director, RO, Chennai There should be a regular monitoring system of Nucleous Seed Gardens supported
by the Board. Director (Farms) should initiate this. All the 8 year old Nucleous Seed
Gardens supported by CDB should be motivated for starting hybridization process.
Action by: Director, HQ
The Publicity Officer is the official spokes person of the Board. The press releases
issued by the Board should be clear. Hereafter all important Press Releases of the Board
should be issued by the Publicity Officer with the approval of Senior Officers.
