The creation of a frozen foods distributive chain, using refigerated vans and temperature controlled storage facilities will get priority. Investment will also be made in new facilities for frozen vegetables fruits and desserts, besides soups, among others. The agriculture based products proposed to be introduced will spur the Brooke Bond Lipton India Limited to establish a direct backward linkage with the farming community in and around the existing and future factories that will come up as a part of the company's ambitious diversification programme. Sir, this is quite a simple bill which tries to regularize or rather bring up to date some of the rules regarding licensing, and for that purpose the definitions are sought to be changed. Now, it is quite obvious that when these definitions have been adopted, it will give a new type of work to the ministry and it is in anticipation of this new type of work like telecommunication, television etc that these particular definitions are sought to be extended. It is, therefore, quite relevant to point out that the new responsibilities which the ministry is undertaking as a result of the changes in the definitions of the terms for the purpose of licensing could be effectively discharged only if the administrative set up is also suitably changed so as to make it possible for these new responsibilities to be adequately discharged. Sir, we know that the zonal system in our telegraph and postal department still requires a lot of change and if these new responsibilities are to be adequately discharged, it will be necessary to reorganise and to create some new zones. For example, a zone for Gujarat might now become necessary in view of the fact that the new state has come into being and it is desirable that there is a special zone which looks after the needs and requirements of that particular area. Similarly, there may be other areas also where it may be necessary to create new zones so that administrative bottlenecks could be avoided and new responsibilities could be effectively discharged.
