Mr. Salman Nizamuddeen, Managing Director, Saliah Dates Nursery, Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu has completed B.Tech (food processing and Engineering) in Coimbatore. He says , all the praise goes to god and his father Mr. Nizamuddeen who previously worked at several date farms across Saudi Arabia before returning to India to grow his own dates. One fine day Mr. Nizamuddeen thought why such dates cannot be grown in India ? Through his trial and errors, he found great success in cultivating dates using imported tissue culture plants from UAE, Saudi Arabia and France.
