Assured of Government Support at PVI 2017

PLASTIVISION INDIA, 2017, was inaugurated at the hands of Anant G. Geete, Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, in the presence of the plastics industry veterans, overseas visitors, and hundreds of thousands of attendees on 19th January, 2017. All present stood up as the National Anthem played in the backdrop, breaking into thunderous applause after the traditional lamp was lit. Balloons of every hue and color filled the atmosphere as Anant G. Geete unveiled the show logo.

The Minister, who had flown in directly from the Capital especially for the exhibition, managed a brief, but firm talk, “We (the government) are with you”, despite having earlier hinted that he was going to say only a few words with the election code of conduct having kicked in. Still, it was enough to put a smile on the lips of Amit Kumar Ghosh, MD, UPSIDC; Haren Sanghavi, President, AIPMA; Arvind Mehta, Chairman, AIPMA Governing Council; Kailash B. Murarka, Chairman, PVI 2017; Raju Desai, Chairman - National Advisory Board, PVI 2017; Achal Thakkar, President, Organization of Plastics Processors of India (OPPI); Naresh Patel, President, Gujarat State Plastics Manufacturers Association (GSPMA); Kamal K. Agarwala, President, Indian Plastics Federation (IPF); E. Sundareshan, Chairman, Indian Plastics Institute (IPI); Ming Yang, DGM, CMEC International Exhibition; Michael Wittmann, Chairman, Wittmann Group; Steve Morris, President and GM Systems, Milacron; Craig Ward, President, NegriBossi Global, and all those gathered there.

Later, at the ‘Plastics in Packaging’ conference organised by the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP) on 21st January, 2017 at Hotel The Leela Mumbai, Rajani Ranjan Rashmi, I.A.S., Special Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India recalled his interaction with former Environment Minister, Jairam Ramesh, and said, “It is not possible to ban plastics nor is it in the interest of the public. What is the alternate? Cut more trees? Any alternate could harm and degrade the environment even more.”
