Mr O.P.Singh moderated the program very efficiently, he understands the poultry Industry very well, but I am surprised, besides such a large gathering, only 3 persons, Dr Shirolkar, Dr Yogesh n Dr Rajender Prasad, all belonging to ABTL, wrote appropriative comments, the others just kept mum, either they did not understand anything or their ego's stop them from appreciating the facts, or they have ...
