Yogi has been getting extensive media coverage in the wake of several new initiatives he has launched for the development of the most populous state and so is Dr Awasthi for touring remotest parts of the country to meet each and every farmer connected to IFFCO.
Calling farmers as the real owners of IFFCO, MD had been painstakingly going up to each of them even if their number is 5000 in any given meeting.” Even I who is 20 years younger than him, cannot do it,” confided one of the IFFCO Directors to Indian Cooperative.
