CHENNAI, May 8: Tractor-manufacturer Tractors and
Farm Equipment (TAFE) Ltd Wednesday said it has signed a
memorandum of understanding with Petroleum Conservation
Research Association to aid conservation of resources.
Under the MoU, the association plans to joinly conduct
agricultural workshops by involving TAFE’s dealership network.
The workshop would help spread awareness on the advantages
of better maintenance and upkeep of the tractors, resulting in
lesser fuel consumption and maximising productivity, among
others, a press release said.
The research association plays a role in proposing
policies and strategies to the government of India on
petroleum conservation aimed at reducing excessive dependence
of the country on oil, the release said.
The MoU was signed by the association’s executive
director Alok Tripathi and TAFE president and COO-product
strategy and corporate relations T R Kesavan, it said.
Contributing towards energy conservation and reducing
dependency, this joint CSR effort by TAFE and PCRA would help
the farmers minimise costs through conservation, recycling
and use of alternate energy.
The engagement would further include joint outreach events
and knowledge-sharing modules for farmers curated by PCRA
through TAFE’s JFarm Services application, it added. (PTI)
