The department of commerce has proposed setting up a 21-member governing body representing manufacturers of basic materials for packaging, users of packaging, and traders, exporters and dealers besides officials of various ministries such as education, food processing and MSME.
The department of commerce said that it proposes to do so for “the promotion and development of quality and excellence in education, research and training in all disciplines relating to packaging, design and development” in the draft bill on which comments can be given by October 12.
