nology in 1962 – the two imperatives
essential in the manufacture of qual-
ity products. He was particularly keen

this goal in view, he took far-reaching
steps in completely modernising the
mill, changing the purchase and sales

Mr. Rajha said: “We feel that Shri
GKD had blessed our institution by
supplying his latest ring frames which
enabled us to supply quality yarn to
our quality conscious indigenous cus-
tomers as well as international buyers.
I salute Shri GKD’s family for their
great contribution for the introduc-
tion of spinning machines of latest
technology in India”.
