New Delhi, Jun 7: Arun Raste on Monday took charge as Managing Director and CEO of the country’s leading agri-commodity bourse National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX).

With a special focus on farmers, the exchange has been running targeted drives like the ‘Options Familiarization Program’ to connect farmer producer organisation.
