Primary objective of QUP was to achieve Consistency in Quality in small tea sector. To achieve this, it was proposed to work on the concept of setting up of Tea Producers’ Society (TPS) with the large number of small growers who are loyal members supplying leaf to the 20 Quality tea procurement and service centres (QTPSC) under QUP which would attract more number of Growers into the Quality fold. The Tea Board to this effect also launched special scheme for those setting up Tea Producers’ Society the details of which are give below;
Hence during the period it was proposed to convert all the 20 Quality Tea Procurement and Service centres into Tea Producers’ Societies and Awareness campaigns were conducted to motivate the SHGs to form TPS. The details of the society formed in different parts of Nilgiris after QUP are as below;
