With an aim to encourage efforts of business stalwarts of the State, an event named 'State Business Leadership Award-2021' was organised by magazine, Interview Times, at Bhubaneswar recently.
In the current year, Paradip Iffco unit was honored with State Business Leadership Award 2021 for their continuous efforts and contributions towards the economic development of the State as well as the country.
Every year Iffco Paradip is setting an example for others in the corporate sector. During this pandemic when many companies and factories got shutdown, IFFCO came out as an exception functioning smoothly while following pandemic guidelines.
Iffco marked its record production in the Covid-19 time too. The annual production was the highest for Iffco and it helped supplying required fertilisers to the farmers in the difficult time. This was all possible because of the ED of Iffco KJ Patel.
Patel was bestowed with the Best Corporate Excellence Award 2021. The awards were presented by Assembly Speaker Surjya Narayan Patra. Notably, the event was held on the sidelines of 105th Birth Anniversary of former Odisha CM and legendary leader Biju Patnaik who had always encouraged business ecosystem during his tenure.
