TAFE, Petroleum Conservation Research Association sign MoU

CHENNAI, May 8: Tractor-manufacturer Tractors and

Farm Equipment (TAFE) Ltd Wednesday said it has signed a

memorandum of understanding with Petroleum Conservation

Research Association to aid conservation of resources.

Under the MoU, the association plans to joinly conduct

agricultural workshops by involving TAFE’s dealership network.

The workshop would help spread awareness on the advantages

of better maintenance and upkeep of the tractors, resulting in

lesser fuel consumption and maximising productivity, among

others, a press release said.

The research association plays a role in proposing

policies and strategies to the government of India on

petroleum conservation aimed at reducing excessive dependence

of the country on oil, the release said.

The MoU was signed by the association’s executive

director Alok Tripathi and TAFE president and COO-product

strategy and corporate relations T R Kesavan, it said.

Contributing towards energy conservation and reducing

dependency, this joint CSR effort by TAFE and PCRA would help

the farmers minimise costs through conservation, recycling

and use of alternate energy.

The engagement would further include joint outreach events

and knowledge-sharing modules for farmers curated by PCRA

through TAFE’s JFarm Services application, it added. (PTI)
