The project will be inaugurated at 11 am on Sunday at Unit No. 1 of Natural Sugar and Allied Industries Limited, located at Sainagar Ranjani in Kalamb tehsil of Dharashiv district.

The project is being implemented jointly by Natural Sugar, the Agriculture Development Trust, Baramati, the Vasantdada Sugar Institute and the West Indian Sugar Association (WISMA), and has generated considerable interest within the sugar sector.
