Speaking at the felicitation programme held at the NBHM multi-utility centre in Sovima on Tuesday, Quinker urged the members to build team spirit and work hard to achieve success.
“Our strength lies with the rustic beekeepers, when we strengthen the lowest rung we strengthen ourselves,” Quinker said.
He further mentioned that what the government had invested over the years in the mission should be justified with the amount of revenue generated for the state through the beekeeping and honey sector, an update from NBHM stated.
