Kerala - Thiruvananthapuram   

Unique start to workshop

A workshop organised by the Coir Board in Kochi last week was unique as it started on time at 10 a.m. Another rarity was that Union Minister for Small Scale Industries Mahavir Prasad addressed the gathering in Hindi. Most Keralites are familiar with the national language, but following the nuances of the oration was not easy for many among the audience.
