ri Dinesh K. Chauhan, the

eldest child of Sri Bindu Ram &

Smt. Ranjani of Bhooteachang T.E.,

is scaling frontiers and winning

laurels that others from his lineage

have rarely earned. While in the

Final Year of Humanities studies at

Delhi University, “DK”, as he is

fondly known as in his associate

circle, had set his sights upon an

agenda different

from what is

usually aimed for

and achieved by

simple students

of the Tea Tribes.

His outgoing nature and ability to

initiate a dialogue for social causes,

be it with the Prime Minister or an

urchin, with the same unabashed

frankness, endears him to everyone.

After obtaining a Diploma in

Journalism in 2009 he joined the TV

channel DY 365 as an Assistant

Correspondent, Delhi Bureau. He

received the ‘Best Journalism’ award

in 2013 from the Jharkhand Govt

for his ‘Travelogue’. Today, aged 26,

he is the Founder-Editor of

‘Adhunik India’, a fortnightly

newsletter published from New

Delhi in Hindi since 2010.

His pursuit of uplifting the causes

inherent to the educational and

social spheres of the Tea Tribes is

closest to his heart. At this young

age, he routinely shares platforms

with citizens of prominence from

the Administration as well as the

Politburo, never missing an

opportunity to pave paths directed at

achieving success in ventures

planned. With guidance and

mentorship, shouldered with a

conscience, this youth from the

centurion clan is poised to go miles.

We wish him the very best towards

the achievement of laurels

envisioned in the future.

Shabaash!

Believe in oneself, seize opportunities, hone one's talents and attain

one's goals...that's what achievers do. We are proud of these

enterprising young men who were born and nurtured on our estates.

Sri Dayalu Tanti

etwork of Asia Pacific Producers

(NAPP), registered in Hong

Kong, represents all Fairtrade

Certified Producers from the Asia

Pacific Region.The General Assembly

of the network is held every two years

at different locations in the Asia

Pacific Region and the 5th General

Assembly held in Colombo, Sri

Lanka, on 22 & 23 February 2014,

was attended by Fairtrade Producers,

Fairtrade International Officials and

National Fairtrade Organisations.

McLeod Russel India Limited, having

four Fairtrade Certified estates in

Assam, was invited to the General

Assembly and one of the two

participants, Shri Dayalu Tanti,

represented the Company from the

Workers’ Joint Body. Sri Tanti was born

and brought up in Borengajuli T. E. and

is presently working in the factory as a

Sub-staff member.

Sri Tanti is an office-bearer of the

Borengajuli Joint Body and his sheer

dedication, sincerity and knowledge of

the Fairtrade systems are instrumental

in successful implementation of the

Fairtrade Certification programme in

Borengajuli. Under his leadership, the

essence of Fairtrade has been able to

penetrate to the grassroots level

successfully. In recognition of his

effective leadership, Sri Tanti was

selected to represent the Company at

the General Assembly and share his

experiences there amongst his peers

and workforce back home. The

Company believes that this will serve

as motivation for others to imbibe his

qualities and develop themselves for

the benefit of the workers and the

Company.

It is indeed a great honour for us that

Sri Tanti represented McLeod Russel

India Limited in a global forum of this

magnitude. We look forward to

developing more such promising

personnel who would be able to

represent McLeod Russel at such

global forums.
