Dear Members,

At the first outset, let me congratulate you all successful completion 2 years of tenure of Executive Committee of All India Wine Producers Association (AIWPA) which contributed to wine industry significantly. I as president of association convey my appreciation to all of you for actively supporting me. I am sure whatever has been achieved could not have been achieved without your valuable support.

I am sure you are aware that I also took over as Chairman, Indian Grape Processing Board (IGPB) under Ministry of Food Processing Industry, GOI and after giving due thought over the situation, I felt that I may not be able to give justice for both the Positions effectively. Hence with great pain I have decided to tender my resignation of our association with immediate effect.
