PM Modi was gifted a 67 kg Turmeric Mala (Garland) by people from Erode to thank him for establishing the Turmeric Board.
The Erode area is known for turmeric cultivation. Farmers from there feel that the NDA government's decision to set up the Turmeric Board will boost exports.
The Thoda tribal community gifted a handmade shawl from Nilgiris to PM to express gratitude because of PM's emphasis on women Self Help Groups. There is optimism that the shawl sales will rise significantly due to this.
