This includes efforts towards improving field productivity, labour efficiency through HRD initiatives and standards, cost control, post harvest processing, value addition, encouraging' internationally accepted quality certification systems, improving and upgrading infrastructure, viz., extension system, R&D units and packaging, marketing, branding and ultimate customer delight.
The pursuit of excellence in total factor productivity (TFP) has long been a hallmark of IIPM though its Tea Board sponsored HRD programmes to the sector. Since its founding in 1993, the institute has endeavored to assemble promising tea planters and their stakeholders in tea commodity designed to stimulate, even inspire, its members to develop their talents to the fullest.
There is an immediate need to supplement the ongoing training by providing further a planters ' forum' with intellectual and practical inputs on a regular basis. Therefore, establishment of Tea Board of India sponsored Tea Planters' Productivity Council (TPC) at important plantation districts is expected to work towards the objectives.
