BIS awareness meetings held
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Coimbatore branch office organised a 'Manak Manthan' programme on Wednesday on the draft of Indian Standard FAD 1 (28325) WC for neem-based pesticide. Over 176 stakeholders participated and gave their suggestions. G. Bhavani, branch head, highlighted the critical role of neem-based formulations in organic farming due to their natural origin, low toxicity, and effectiveness as broad-spectrum pest control agents.
In another event, the BIS Coimbatore branch office conducted a two-day capsule course in Coimbatore on Quality Control Order for viscose staple spun yarn industry (IS 3566:2023). As many as 20 quality control personnel from different parts of the State took part.
